Excerpt from Wool, the World's Comforter: A Survey of the Wool Industry From the Raw Material to the Finished Product, Including Descriptions of Manufacturing and Marketing Methods and Dictionary of Wool Fabrics It is safe to say that, while wool is the oldest of all our textiles, the public knows less about it than about silk, cotton or linen. Folks realize in a general way that woolen fibers come from the backs of sheep, yet they have little or no conception of the vast difference that exists between wool as it comes from sheep in various parts of the world, for example. Most people think that wool suits or hats or socks are all alike, whereas there is often a very tremendous difference in those articles that may appear exactly alike. One may be of virgin wool and the other of wool that has been worked over many, many times. Wool is the one textile for which no substitute has been found. We have fibre silk and materials made of various fibres that answer the purpose of cotton or linen, but No material has been discovered that will take the place of wool. So-called imitation wools may look, feel and appear like wool, but the body refuses to react to these in the same way it does to real wool. Selling or buying woolen materials or products of any kind involves more than the sale of just the item. What the buyer wants is comfort or protection. The salesman who fails to realize this is missing a big opportunity. That all may know the properties and kinds and types of woolens the Dry Goods Economist has had prepared one of the most complete brief treatises on wool ever attempted. We doubt if any volume of its size gives in condensed form so much vital information about the oldest of our materials. As is usual in Mr. Darby's writings, the book is free from technicalities so that it is easily understood by a layman. Whether you buy or sell woolens you'll get greater pleasure from the handling of them if you are familiar with the facts conta.
