Stroudsburg, Pa, writes to a friend in
town of a wonderful performance which
| recently took place in a woolen mill there,
| in which the worlds record for converting
wool from the sleeps back to the finished
garment on the mans back has been estab-
| lished An account of over column in
length appears in the last issue of the Tex
tile Manufacturers journal, which says:
| At $50 six shearers started to take the
wool from the Sleeps backs, and in few
minutes it was in the hands of the sorter,
and from him to be secured and dried rnn
| through the pickers and card-room then
| spun, and every process, spooling, dressing,
! etc, was successfully gone through, until
| il was turned out Of the weave room TO
| the finishing loom, where it was fulled,
washed, extracted, dried, sheared, pressed
and finished
1t was then passed over to the tailor,
why cut, made and delivered the suit to the
! proprietor Of the mill at 1884, making the
time from the sheep to the finished gar
ment, six hours and four minutes
| Mr.. Fitzgerald, though not employed in
| the mill, obtained a sample of the cloth and
sent it 70 a friend in town. The mill con
tains the latest and improved machinery,
but this makes the performance none the
