SOURCES OF SUPPLY

Previous

The author has found that very nearly all manufacturers are willing to supply schools with samples of their products. But the demand for samples has been so great that it is necessary in most cases to pay a small sum to cover the cost.

The following prominent firms dealing in textile supplies are named here to assist the teachers in writing for supplies.

The names of the leading textile papers are given so that teachers may obtain them. They contain a large number of names of dealers in textiles so that they may be used as reference books for supplies.
