Show im wool" Ml To jHatfe a Full Knib-bpg Knib-bpg plaph, Capable of Turning- Out 100 Pairs of Rose Each Day. Twelve Oompton Looms Mow On tho Road frcm San Francisco. To Take the PSace of the Narrow Ones Mow in Use at the Factory. A visit to the l'rovo YToolen 'Mills yesterday elicited the fact that the recent re-cent visit of Superintendent Underbill to San Francisco, Cab, will result in much benefit to the variety of go ds that will from now on be niaiuifactiued at this institution. Heretofore, tiie dress goods turned out have been limited lim-ited to but very few patterns, mostly plaids. Now, however, the variety of design is almost unlimited. Superintendent Superin-tendent Underbill showed The Dispatch Dis-patch man no lets than liftyof the finest designed fabrics for ladies" dross goods, that will make a regular corner on the market when the fairer sex r;cL to see the product. Sunt. Underbill says he proposes to get" out new pit-terns pit-terns each season. Among the machinery purchased by Supt. Underbill on his visit to the l io-neer io-neer Woolen factory, at San Francisco,, was a complete knitting plant, which, when in full working order, will manufacture manu-facture one hundred dozen pairs of hose each day. Twelve full C'rompton looms, manufactured in Massachusetts, were also purchased. Each of th -so ar 123 inches long, 12 harness, wit-i 4 boxes on each end. These looms are capable of turning out b'ankets, ladiesr dress goods, ami other fabrics of six-quarter six-quarter width, or iifty-four inches wide. Laid down in Provo, the looms will cost at least $4S() each, or a total of $.5,700 for the twelve looms. These looms will replace some of the narrow oues now in the factory, which are. as the superintendent puts it, "out of date."" There is a great, deal of diiferenceiii the brilliancy ot the woolen goods now manufactured and those of a year a ,m. This is due to the fact that hei eiolorc the wooi has not been sufficiei.tlv scoured. To show the difference Sunt. Underbill conduced The Dispatch representative to the top floor of ibe main building and nicked up a handful hand-ful of wool thai had bfen sent up a "cleaned." It was liky a mop suciy. greasy aud compact. "'ee the dil 'tr-end-v1 said Mr Underbill, showing us a handful of bright, lose, Hake-like wool. "This has been well scorned.' The only difference in the washing between t ie two samples is this, tna't this wool alluding to the well scoured article has been allowed to stay in tiie water longar than was the custom h re, and treated to a bath m another vat, which 1 had made on my assuming the managmeut of the mills". Asa result I of this extra cleaning. ", continued Mr. Underbill, "the it.'odfs now mado are not only bng7ae, in color, but they haye not t hat greaVy touch t hat was the case witii the goods" heretofore turned out. Then, again, our carding ma-chinos ma-chinos do not suffer from the clean wool like they used to do. Whon the wool is not well scoured the curds become gummed up, and are bent and twisted in every conceivable slupe. Consequently Conse-quently we not only turn' out better goods by cleaning our wool, but we save several hundred dollars every year in the wear and tear of the machinery." ma-chinery." Thanking Mr. Underbill for .is kindness in explaining to us these several points, The Dispatch man withdrew. |
