She may have attractive under- wear if she is wise in the selection of materials and careful in making it or in choosing ready-made garments. It is not the amount of money that one spends so much as it is good judgment in the choice of styles, materials and trimmings.

    A War All Our Own: American Rangers and the Emergence of the American Martial Culture by James Sandy, M.A. A Dissertation In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTORATE IN PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • TEXTILES What Every Homemaker Should Know by Marion Weller, Division of Home Economics
    IDqr Jtutnrr.atty nf fltuursnta AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION DIVISION Special Bulletin No. 15 University Farm, St. Paul October 1917 PublisJ.ed hy the University of Minnesota, College of Agriculture, Extension Division, A. D. Wilson, Director, and distributed in furtherance of the purposes of the coOperative agri­ cultural extension work provided for in the Act of Congress of May 8, 1914. TEXTILES What Every Homemaker Should Know By Marion Weller, Division of Home Economics INTRODUCTION The women of this country are realizing that an intelligent expenditure of the family income is necessary to efficient homemaking. An examination of household budgets, compil ed by investigators-the budgets of individuals and families living on the lowest incomes adequate for physical efficiency-reveals the fact that from 15 to 25 per cent of the income is spent for clothing and home furnishings. It is, moreover, a fact that women are increasingly the I direct retail purchasers; 90 per cent of the money spent for home maintenance , in this country is spent by women. The homemaker who is the purchaser of the clothing and household fabrics should, therefore, know how to buy eco­ I I nomically, and it is the purpose of this bulletin to give to her such in formation concerning textile fabrics as may be helpful in planning and buying for the household. " There was a time when the production of textiles or woven fabrics for the home was entirely within the home. Women were the creators of these utili­ ties and ' controlled the quality of the product. They knew when a piece of cloth was all wool and what grade of wool went into it.

  • Textile Manufacturing and Trade Without and with Coercion: the Indian Experience in the Eighteenth Century Om Prakash India
    Textile Manufacturing and Trade Without and With Coercion: The Indian Experience in the Eighteenth Century Om Prakash India has traditionally been a major textile manufacturing nation. Indeed, until the early part of the nineteenth century when the Industrial Revolution conferred a distinct cost advantage on the West, India had dominated world trade in textiles. Such domination was clearly in evidence in the Indian Ocean trade, alternatively referred to as Asian trade, in the period prior to the arrival of the Europeans in the Ocean at the end of the fifteenth century. In part, this indeed was a function of the midway location of the subcontinent between west Asia on the one hand and southeast Asia on the other. But perhaps even more important was the subcontinent’s capacity to put on the market a wide range of tradeable goods at highly competitive prices. By far the most important of these goods was textiles of various kinds. While these included high-value varieties such as the legendary Dhaka muslins and Gujarat silk embroideries, the really important component for the Asian market was the coarse cotton varieties manufactured primarily on the Coromandel coast and in Gujarat. There was a large scale demand for these varieties both in the eastern markets of Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Burma as well as in the markets of the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and East Africa. While it is impossible to determine precisely what proportion of total domestic demand for mass consumption textiles in these societies was met by imports from India, the available evidence would seem to point in the direction of this not being altogether insignificant.
