| TEXT | In noting the progress made by the machine twist and sewing-silk industries during the past few years, and their present magnitude, it seems incredible that less than forty years ago this great industry had scarcely begun to exist. Previous to this period nearly all goods whose basis was silk were imported from Europe, but owing to the skill and enterprise of our manufacturers, sewing silks are now produced superior to the famous productions of foreign manufacturers. A prominent louse engaged in this manufacture is that of the Holland Mfg. Co., whose offices are located at No. 562 Broadway. This house was established at Willimantic, Conn. in 1860, and since its inception at that period has always commanded a liberal and influential patronage from the trade, in consequence of the unexcelled quality of its productions. The factory is fully equipped with all the latest and most improved machinery, one peculiar invention of great value being patented April 5, 1864, and is complete in every particular, with every appliance necessary for the production of machine twist and sewing-silk. The materials used in the manufacture of the company's silks are invariably the best, special care being taken in the original selection of the raw silk, and the after inspection and sorting, before being manufactured into thread. A peculiarity of the Holland silks, and one which adds greatly to their popularity, is the fact that unlike the products of many other makers, they are not weighted in thfc dyeing processes. Much of the silk in the American and English markets is weighted in this manner, from fifty to one hundred per cent., the value per ounce being proportionately less, while the appearance remains the same. The dyeing department is complete in every detail, and the various processes are managed by skilled and experienced operatives. Seeing the importance and value of a representation in the metropolis, in 1872 a wareroom and offices were established at No. 435 Broadway, but during the present year the business was removed to its present eligible and central position, where they carry the largest stock of pound goods in the city. These silks are used extensively by manufacturers of shoes and clothing, and are highly esteemed for their great uniformity and reliability, and their sale is annually increasing. The New York agent, Mr. H. Eldridge, has been long and favorably known to the trade, He has spent much time in making known the best methods of comparing values m silk threads. And the success which has attended his efforts is the best evidence that honest values and fair dealing are the surest road to prosperity in this as well as in other lines. The reliability of this concern is too well known to require personal commendation, and in regard to the magnitude and extent of the business conducted, as well as the merit and quality of the goods produced, it is safe to assert that they are unexcelled. |
