Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fleece and the Loom: An Address Before the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, at the First Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, Sept; 6, 1805 The occasion of the first annual meeting of the "National Association of Wool Manufacturers" would seem to demand from your Secretary something more than a meagre statement of transactions of the Association necessarily limited by the brief period since its organization, and has suggested, as the most suitable subject for an address which shall have a wider scope than a mere official report, the consideration of the national importance of the wool manufacture and the means of developing it. The principal articles of the wealth of a nation are the yearly products of those industries which supply food and clothing, and the instruments by which they are produced and diffused. The distribution of these products constitutes the commerce of the world. Of the four branches of textile industry which clothe mankind, the one to which we are devoted is the most ancient, the most important to the inhabitants of the temperate regions, and, therefore, to the most civilized portions of mankind, and at present the second in commercial importance.
