Synopsis
Excerpt from Contrasts
The acadia mills, having had a number of inquiries as to the period of spinning de pioted in its trademark, takes pleasure in reprint ing this section of that book, in the earnest hope that it may prove of interest and value in recalling the early processes and tools of a great industry. A comparison between these primi tive methods and those of today is most im pressive. The same principles in the prepara tion, spinning and weaving of cotton are found in use today as then, but with power machin ery replacing the labor of human hands. Indeed it is this substitution of power for hand labor, together with new processes of finishing, mer cerizing and dying, that enables the cotton manufacturer of today to meet the increasing demands for cotton fabrics for all purposes.
