Book Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of Wool Manufactures: Exhibited Under the Direction of the National Association of School Manufactures at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Exhibition of the American Institute of the City of New York, 1869 The object of the Exposition was to make known the extent, variety, and actual condition of the wool industry of the United States, rather than to adjudge the comparative merits of competing manufacturers; exhibitors, therefore, were requested to exhibit mainly such articles as they are accus tomed to make for the general market. Exhibitors were informed that an official catalogue would be published, in which the name or business card of every exhibitor and a designation of his contributions would appear. The present catalogue is made in conformity with this promise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
