Excerpt from The Wool Industry Commercial Problems of the American Woolen and Worsted Manufacture
This book is a study of commercial problems. Its purpose is to present the results of an examination of the industries producing woolen and worsted fabrics approached from the side of their buying and selling problems. It does not attempt to add anything to the existing body of excellent material covering sheep-breeding, wool-growing, the relation of the tariff to the growth of these industries, the technique- of textile manufacturing, and the other more commonly treated features.
Sheep-breeding and wool-growing in the United States are adequately considered in a Special Report on the Sheep Industry of the United States (1892), issued by the Department of Agriculture of the Federal Government, and in various secondary works, such as Joseph E. Wing's Sheep Farming in America. J. Zipser, in his Textile Raw Materials, gives a good description of the technical aspects of wool and its treatment up to, and including, the spinning process. J. H. Clapham, in his Woollen and Worsted Industries, gives a clear and accurate statement of the main features of the mechanical processes of cloth-manufacture. A bulletin issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor, Miscellaneous Series, number 34, which appeared just as this study was going to press, contains a satisfactory summary of some noteworthy conditions of the men's factory-made clothing industry. Concerning the tariff, numerous publications have been issued.
