Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Useful Information for Cotton Manufacturers, 1904, Vol. 1
This second edition, therefore, has not only been revised and rewritten, but also greatly enlarged. In order that it may still retain its character as a handbook, it is bound in three volumes. The division of the subject matter is indica ted by the Summary of Contents on page viii. NO attempt has been made to keep even the separate volumes within pocket book size; it is rather intended for the desk use of cotton manufacturers, with special regard to those using the makes Of machinery that I sell. This book being published exclusively for the Southern trade, I have in cluded nothing pertaining to mule spinning other than a production table, as there is so little mule spinning in the South it hardly warrants the space that would be required to exploit it in the same comprehensive manner that has been devoted to ring spinning.
As the cotton mills Of the South go more largely on to fancy goods, it has seemed more desirable to issue supple ments keeping abreast of what the trade demands than to attempt to do more than treat that part Of the subject in a general sort of way, at the present time.
