The firm OF Charles A. Luther & Co., OF
PGwtucket, manufacturers OF textile ma
chincry, was established in 1891, and dur
ing thicr many years OF active business no
one concern has gained better reputa-
ton. Their machines are all made in their
own Workshop, and only the most skilled
workmen are employed.
They manufacture the Marsden
stretcher, especially adapted for water
inangles on extra heavy goods. Its
working parts are bronze. 1t is
very durable and wears years with
no expense OF repairs. They are
built in all the usual sizes: Luthers
patent cloth stretcher, made of brass for
wet or dry work; Luther's wood stretcher
for silk or wooden Is Glso made with metal
covering for wet or dry work. Their
stretchers are unexcelled and theiraction Is
perfect. They are made with either wood,
brass or iron covering and with patented
or common trucks. OF the utility of
their patented truck there can be no
coubt. They manufacture stretchers
for every class of goods and OF
any desired size anu length.
Their "bank spoilers are used for taking
yarn from beams and putting on bobbins,
are built OF any num5er of spindles and
are sometimes used in pairs, or four banks
geared together and driven by one belt.
The yarn printing machine for printing
in colors has been greatly improved, and
it is now a combination OF both a warp
al d skein printer, and can be used for
e. ner purpose with equally
go)d results. 1t is constructed
so that the gratest variety Of
Ia erns can be obtained, and many more
IMAM on the older styles. These are now
provided with cam gears instead of cams
and gears, and as one set may be removed
and another substituted, the position of
the print may be changed with little
trouble and delay.
