Manual of Work Garment Manufacture : How to Improve Quality and Reduce Costs (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Manual of Work Garment Manufacture: How to Improve Quality and Reduce Costs

In comparing the overall and other work garments of today with similar apparel of the past, it is obvious that the demands of the American workman for quality, fit, and attractiveness have been large ly fulfilled. The men on the farms, in the engine cabs, in the shops and engaged in building construction are now wearing the product of efficiently conducted factories, where every conceivable means known is employed to turn out garments that satisfy.

That the sewing machine deserves credit for a good portion of this goes without saying, but it is generally conceded that Union Special machines revolutionized the overall industry by doing away with the old bundle system. This enables each operator to remain continuous ly on one operation, resulting in greater and better production. The use of Union Special sewing machines has increased rapidly and many machines that were designed to meet special operations have finally become perfected and standardized until today a list of sewing ma chines stands ready to fill the overall manufacturer's every want for seams of strength and elasticity.

In Union Special machines, the thread goes into the seam with all its strength and luster unimpaired. No chafing of the thread by passing many times through the eye of the needle before being finally drawn into the goods as is the case with all shuttle stitch machines.

Users of Union Special machines realize their characteristic high speed and many other points in their favor set forth in this booklet.

It is our intention to give a reliable treatise on the proper method to manufacture overalls and allied garments, giving the best machine specifications for each Operation, Whether Union Special make or not.
