The lower branches of theW oollen Industry are a direct outgrowth of economic practices in textile production. The basic idea of re-claiming the sound usable fibre from rags new and old and of making the resultant fibrous product into yarn and cloth, originated in theW est Riding of Yorkshire. Formerly, the factory operations and manufacturing equipment, to which this conception gave rise, were peculiar to the Heavy-W oollen districts of this country. Within the last three or four decades, theE nglish system of manufacture has been exploited, but not superseded, inC ontinental and American textile centres. An outstanding international asset, accruing from the production of goods made of Wool Substitutes, is a commensurate supply of new clothing, at a reasonable cost, for the million. To the ordinary and superficial observer, theS hoddy Industry is suggestive of manufacturing methods and processes in which spurious and adulterated materials are employed. It should, however, be understood that shoddy, of all sorts, is literally wool filament, though fleece wool is not definable as shoddy ;and also that the whole scheme of milj work, connected with the manufacture of shoddy into a woven fabric, is penetrated through and through wi!th initiative energy, constructive ability, and brain effort.
