Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Woolen Rag Trade, 1920 The abnormal demand created by the war for wool for the uses Of the Army, Navy, and Red Cross work, and the usual demand for wool for civilian use, coupled with a shortage of wool at points where it was available for manufacturers (due to difficulties of transport from the sources of production, and to the commandeering by foreign Govern ments of wool of foreign origin usually available to the American mar ket), had the effect of making new wool available to American mills both unusually scarce and high priced. It became necessary to use substitutes to meet the deficit in the supply of raw wool. The most important available substitute existed in the shoddy (or reworked wool fiber) derived from used woolen rags, and from the trimmings produced in the cutting up of new woolen cloth incident to the manufacture of woolen garments. The term rags is often applied indiscriminately not only to used material but to new material as well. In this report wherever a need exists for distinguishing between these two, general classes, the term used rags will apply to used or worn material, and clips to new or unworn material. On April 5, 1918, the Boston wool trade offered to the Government through the War Industries Board, all its unsold wools at market values as of that date. This Offer was not accepted. On April 25, 1918, they offered to the Government all their unsold wool and tops included in the offering of April 5, and also all foreign wools bought since that date and not under the Government's option, on the fol lowing terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report Upon Wool and Manufactures of Wool To commence with the raw material, the first impression made upon an American manufacturer by an observation of the woollen manufactures of Europe, as displayed at the Exposition, is the immeasurable advantage which the woollen manufacturer of Europe has in the command of an unlimited supply of wool, and other raw material of every variety, free of duty. The policy of the modern governments of Europe, unrestrained by any regard for the opinions or prejudices of agriculturists so controlling here, is first and foremost to develop the manufactures of their several countries. Freedom from duties on raw material and breadstuffs is but one mode of protection. The necessity for duties on wool as a measure of encouragement to the wool-grower has passed away. Sheep husbandry in Europe could not be extended by protective duties, as all the land that could be profitably devoted to this purpose is already occupied. England has one sheep to one and three-quarters of an acre of land, while Ohio and Vermont have one to four and a half acres, New York one to six and a half acres, Iowa one to twenty-four acres, and the whole United States one to fifty-seven acres. The perfection to which the leading varieties of European wools has attained removes them from all competion, and renders protective duties unnecessary. No lustrous combing wools can compete with the Lincoln, Leicester, and Cotswold wools of England; no clothing wools with the Saxon and Silesian wools of Germany; no soft combing wools with those of the Rambouillet stock of France. The culture of the latter wools was developed by protection until their excellence relieved them from competition, and even the agriculturists of France assented to the abolition of the duty on wool. The great centre of distribution for the great part of the wool of the world, not consumed at home, is England, the distribution being favored by her warehousing system. All the wool manufacturers of Europe are gathered at the annual sales at London. The European supply of raw material constitutes but an inconsiderable portion of the consumption of Europe. The importations have increased with marvellous rapidity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wool Situation: February 1955 Trade reports suggest that inventories of wool manufactures in manufacturing and distribution channels are about normal relative to sales and that unfilled orders for fabric are substantially larger than a year ago. Economic activity and consumer purchasing power are contin uing at high levels, and some improvement in apparel wool consumption this year relative to last appears likely. The average support level for domestic shorn wool for the marketing year beginning April 1 will be 62 cents per pound, grease: basis, cents or percent higher than that for the current season. Payments to individual producers will be based on the percentage required to bring the average return per pound (market price plus payment) up to the average support level. Market prices probably will average nearly the same as for the l95h season but somewhat below the announced support level. In this case, price support payments will be made to producers after the end of the 1955 season. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Fashionability written by Regina Lee Blaszczyk and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion studies is a burgeoning field that often highlights the contributions of genius designers and high-profile brands with little reference to what goes on behind the scenes in the supply chain. This book pulls back the curtain on the global fashion system of the past 200 years to examine the relationship between the textile mills of Yorkshire – the firms that provided the entire Western world with warm wool fabrics – and their customers. It is a microhistory of a single firm, Abraham Moon and Sons Ltd, that sheds light on important macro questions about British industry, government policies on international trade, the role of multi-generational family firms and the place of design and innovation in business strategy. It is the first book to connect Yorkshire tweeds to the fashion system. Written in lively, accessible prose, this book will appeal to anyone who works in fashion or who wears fashion. There is nothing like it – and it will raise the bar for historical studies of global fashion. Here you’ll find intriguing stories about a tweed theft from the Leeds Coloured Cloth Hall, debates on tariffs and global trade, the battle against synthetic fibres and the reinvention of British tweeds around heritage marketing. You won’t be bored.

Download or read book World Development Report 2009 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-11-04 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising densities of human settlements, migration and transport to reduce distances to market, and specialization and trade facilitated by fewer international divisions are central to economic development. The transformations along these three dimensions density, distance, and division are most noticeable in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, but countries in Asia and Eastern Europe are changing in ways similar in scope and speed. 'World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography' concludes that these spatial transformations are essential, and should be encouraged. The conclusion is not without controversy. Slum-dwellers now number a billion, but the rush to cities continues. Globalization is believed to benefit many, but not the billion people living in lagging areas of developing nations. High poverty and mortality persist among the world's 'bottom billion', while others grow wealthier and live longer lives. Concern for these three billion often comes with the prescription that growth must be made spatially balanced. The WDR has a different message: economic growth is seldom balanced, and efforts to spread it out prematurely will jeopardize progress. The Report: documents how production becomes more concentrated spatially as economies grow. proposes economic integration as the principle for promoting successful spatial transformations. revisits the debates on urbanization, territorial development, and regional integration and shows how today's developers can reshape economic geography.

Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
