| TEXT | Those who have noticed and admired the beautiful and artistic designs which are frequently to be seen on fine suspenders have no idea of the extent to which the manufacture of these articles is carried on, which, however, can be secured by a visit to the establishment of Mr. H. C. Whitmarsh, 571 [auch 751 genannt] Broadway. This house was established in 1870 in a small way, but as the demand increased for his fine suspenders the premises were necessarily enlarged, and additional looms, knitting-machines, and other delicate appliances were invented and utilized. The design to be woven is carefully drawn on paper, and afterwards placed on a machine which, by the careful attention of the artisan, perforates in a stout piece of card-board a fac-simile corresponding with the drawing. The pieces of pasteboard are then connected by tapes, and are run on supporters on the top of the loom, and under a series of pins and mechanical con- trivances. As the card-board is moved bv the machinery it allows the pins to drop into the huies, which so alters the warp in the loom that the shuttle-thread is left upon the surface, thus forming various beautiful designs. Some of these are very artistic and handsome, and reflect the greatest credit on-the ability and energy of Mr. Whitmarsh. Being a thoroughly practical man, everything is executed under his immediate supervision, thus affording a guarantee that all work leaving his establishment shall be perfect in all respects. Personally Mr. Whitmarsh is held in the highest estimation for his many excellent qualities and strict integrity, and justly merits the success which has attended his well directed efforts. |
