WHAT "SHoODY" REALLY IS
Most People Imagine the Term signI-
fies Something Cheap and
Nasty.

To most people the term "shoddy"
signifies something cheap and nasty.
b.. goods made from the best-class
rags are superior to many cloths made
from lOw.grade woods. A re-
vival In demand Is the more likely. ms
one Of the great offices Of the shoddy
trade rs to keep down the level Of
prices for wool goods. The use OF sub
stitutes for wool has In the past been
due TO the insuficiency Of the worlds
supply Of wool to make all the clothing
demanded. and this in~suficienCy Is

was 10 use more wool and less rags.
Many of the normal sources Of supply
Of rags, on the continent and else

orS' clippings, remnants and patterns
were scarce. Thus there was a check
to the manufacture OF shoddy. using
the term to cover all kinds of regen-
Grated woods.
In q restricted sense shoddy denotes

wastes If different kinds which are
collected in the wooden and wOrSted
factories from the carding rooms.
weaving sheds and fulling mills. These
machine wastes are usually sold direct
from the factory.
The manufacturing processes for
>hoddy are elaborate. The rags are
first freed from dust and dry cleaned
in y mechanical shaker. and then sort

and the rags pass to the grinding ma

one of 'hr great difficulties confront
