The linen display in earle & Jones' window
| last Saturday attracted much attention. The
fax wheel and swift, the flax in its various
stages, including the finished products made
up very interesting exhibit The Parker and
Themes Co., of Portland, who furnished this
exhibit say in letter to Garlic & Jones. Have
sent you HPirn" wheel-it is over one hun
bred years old--with the stand for holding the
fax skein. This wheel was used in filling the
"pirns" or spools that go into the shuttle when
weaving. The writer was presented with this
in Dunfermline some years ago and values
it very highly, as there are very few of them
in existence to-day. Also have sent you box
showing the flax in its natural growth, just as
it is pulled from the ground. Then comes the
"heckled' flax after it is separated from tie
"tow." The tow is what is used in making
Crashes. Next comes the long staple or line
Yarns. This is what Damasks and plain white
linens are made from. The woven cloths speak
for themselves as they show what is produced
from the flax. 1t is beautiful sight to see a
field of flax growing. 1t has small blue flow.
err something like forget not, and rivals
in beauty the tulip fields of Holland. You can
keep it as long you require it, just making
sure that it is safely packed for returning"
