February 1945 FIGHTING FIBERS and COMPARABLE VALUES OF FIBERS FOR USE IN COMMERC III FISHERIES By Frank E. Firth* I. Fi£hting Fibers In 1941, "Manila," abaca fiber, became a Japanese prisoner. Sisal immediately came into prominence as a substitute for Manila, but competition for shipping space and risks invol ved in crossing the Caribbean and South Atlantic made it ,necessary to look for more accessible sources of this and other hard fibers. Hemp grown in Italy and Hungary, where abundant supplies have been obtained, is now serving the Axis, The extended fighting in Russia has greatly lessened the production of the fine hemp grown there, Jute from India has been partially cut off by action in the Orient, but recent victories in that area have resulted in a steadier supply. Flax from France and Belgium , abundant export centers still is imprisoned, Shipping space and geog­ raphy have thus had a great effect on our fiber supplies, Because of their importance to ') the military and to essential productioni/these fibers were early and wisely placed under the control of the War Production Board.~ More "Manila hemp, " which does not grow near Manila and is not hemp, has been used for marine cordage during the past 100 years than all other fibers combined. When the Philippines were invaded, the loss of this material was indeed serious, but the serviceability of the substitutas and blends over the last two years and the progress being made in new develop­ ments inspire confidence for the future .

The Haskell Silk Company: Manufacturers of Staple Silks Recognized As a "Standard" in the Trade by Jacqueline Field Haskell Silk Company founder, James Haskell, was a native of the Cape Anne, area of Massachusetts.1 In this locale his early career included service in numerous public and business capacities, not least as agent for The Rockport Steam Cotton Company, and as a State Senator.2 He was a man experienced in politics, finance and textile production. He moved to Maine in 1858 when he acquired the cotton mill at Saccarappa Falls, Westbrook.3 Under his management the mill, renamed The Westbrook Manufacturing Company, flourished and expanded. In 1874, his elder son, Frank Haskell, assumed the role of agent. At the same time James took advantage of, by now, well developed machine twist-making technology and launched into the youngest branch of the textile industry--silk.

  • America's Hemp King Introduction
    America's Hemp King by Dennis Rens, Grandson of Matt Rens 1995 Acknowledgments Author's Comments America's Hemp King Though the US. Hemp king was our granddad, we smoked corn silk when we were growing lads. Introduction I grew up literally surrounded by hemp. Raised on a Wisconsin dairy farm between Waupun and Brandon in the early 1940's, one of my earliest memories was that of me and my older brother Matt (not to be confused with my Grandpa Matt) trampling down patches of hemp in the middle of my dad, Dayton Rens', hemp field to create "rooms" for the house we were "building." I also remember that Dad wasn't too pleased when he stumbled on our creation one day. Something about mining his profit, as I recall! This was the stuff, you see, that they cut in the fall and then eventually took to Grandpa Matt Rens' Hemp Company just down the road on highway 49 where they turned it into fiber and then sold it to make such things as cords, rope, and thread. The Highway 49 hemp mill during its heyday It was only many years after his death in 1950 that I discovered that my Grandpa Matt was pretty famous in some circles and known widely as "America's Hemp King." In today's world when you tell somebody your grandfather was "America's Hemp King," your listener either draws a blank or gets that knowing smile on their face. You know the look. The one where they are a bit smug but a trifle sympathetic that you feel compelled to reveal your family's sordid history in the narcotics industry! Today when you hear of hemp, your mind --- if it registers at all ---jumps quickly to marijuana.

  • ROPE and TWINE INFORMATION
    e and Twine miiiftifi tion The Chatfield & Woods Company Written by A. L. SYKES ROPE and TWINE INFORMATION COMPILED BY THE GHATFIELD & WOODS GO. CINCINNATI, OHIO BRANDS ...A ,<"^ The use of brands makes the necessity of under- standing qualities a simple matter. The best quality of our rope or twine will always be "Crown." The second quality will be "Gross." The next quality will be "Scepter." It is unnecessary for us to advise you of the import- ance of mentioning brands instead of grades. Any salesman can readily see the advantage of saying "This is our Scepter Brand" instead of "This is a third-grade rope." The grade of rope is the same whether it is called "Scepter" or "third-class," but the influence on the mind of the customer is not the same. The best quality of rope or twine that we can offer will be sold under the, "Grown Brand." The "Gross Brand" represents our intermediate grade, and is to be offered when the price of "Grown Brand" is too high and there is danger of losing the order. For those desirous of the cheapest quality we have our "Scepter Brand." By using these Brands in an intelligent way all dis- cussions of quality with the customer are done away. As you will find, very few people want to buy third class goods but want to imagine that they are buying first class goods at third class price— and it is not good policy to undeceive them. OCT 1 7 .J./ ©CI.A477065 TWINE AND ROPE INFORMATION ^^^>^HE history of Cincinnati and its nearby cities and suburbs ^J^ is most closely connected with the twine and rope in- dustry.

Submit your additions to: Mary Lane: [email protected] Thanks for helping out!] Glossary of Tapestry Terms Abrash – Slight variations in the weft color due to different dye lots, or to differences in dye absorption in the same dye lot. Arrondiment – (French) Soumak. Aubusson – (French) A city in France in which many commercial, low warp ateliers are located. The word is often used to refer, in a generic way, to low warp weaving. Awl – A pointed, metal instrument used for piercing small holes in leather, wood, etc. Weavers use awls to loosen, or pick apart, the densely packed weft and to manipulate the surface of the woven fabric. Basse-licier – (French) Low warp tapestry weaver. Basse lisse – (French) A low warp loom; low warp weaving. Bâton de croisure – (French) Shed stick.
