Show Big Pin Money. Some of the lt.o-0 dress manufacturers manufac-turers In New York, In whoso factories a considerable amount of draping must be done, find that their bills for plnB frequently run as high as $1,600 a year. Used only once, the pins are removed and permitted to fall oji the floor, where they are swept away. Even If gathered up at the day's close they would be too dirty for use again. A company, Just starting In business, proposes to effect a saving In tho pin Item by taking all tho used pins, aed, having denned and polished them, return re-turn them at half what they cost the, manufacturers originally. The experiments experi-ments to produce a clean, reflnlshed pin entailed over a year's work. It was found that If the pint were gathered gath-ered together by using a magnet they made a mark on white fabrics, so this, method was dlbcarded. A process has been discovered, however, whereby tho satisfactory result was obtained. |
