  • Thanks for video.

    Linen products are easy to store, they can withstand temperature differentials and the toughest washings, which make them even softer, whiter, and more clinging to the body. You can find best linen fabric store on my profile.

    All over the world people want to use only natural and environmentally friendly materials like linen and cotton!

  • Great stuff. We used to have 5 textile mills in town. I ran a spinning mule. The textile mills have all gone overseas now.

    All that is left here is low paying service jobs.

  • I am attacking anyone who will listen to me about stories similar to yours.

    I watched the textile industry disappear from New England. Our government played a cruel trick on Americans in joining WTO and ratifying NAFTA.

  • does anyone know a video that shows weaving in the industry? Or does anyone know the name of the method, i need a reply by monday evening! :)

  • I hope you got your answer...

  • yeah !! but they have to bail out more then the big 3 the banks how many banks so many investment comp also

    it's a fuckin mess

  • It's sad that the U.S. Government didn't bail out the textile industry like they are doing to the Big 3.

  • The textile industry doesn't need bailing out.

  • Well, you can't bail out something that doesn't exist anymore. I guess when you live in the South and are Republican, Washington doesn't give a you-know-what about you. But if it's Northern based, like the Big 3...

  • Bail it out? They caused it to collapse, so that today they can ram Healthcare legislation down our sore throats!

    The funneled billions through GM bailouts t oprop up unions which will inturn fund campaigns that keep the flood gates open.

    The USA needs a trade war with China and Europe. Both will collapse if Americans ever wake up from the TV comas

  • @hamace I live in South Carolina. There are 3 mills that have shut down. My father worked at a textile plant in a neighboring town until his sudden death in 1974. That mill is still in operation, but if it closed, it would devastate that town and the surrounding areas. Some of our clothes are now Made in Vietnam, a country that we had an embargo against because of slave labor. Ditto for Laos, Cambodia, North Korea, and Cuba. Money talks, BS walks.

  • Yeah brother, Two reasons to oppose such trade... Jobs lost here in the USA. And really, I don't like buying something made with slave labor.

    Onbe of my biggest problems with the status quo on illegal immigration is the fact that illegals are taken advantage of...pawns.

    Enough is enough.

  • @hamace I served in the Navy and we made a visit to St. Thomas. We were told what merchandise we could & couldn't buy. We were told the before-mentioned countries. No, we couldn't buy Cuban made cigars for that reason.

  • Good luck with your mills brother. Democrats talk the talk on trade, but are the biggest benefactors of outsourcing and ff shore manufacturing

  • @hamace It seems that with the textile industry becoming extinct in the south, farming, timber, and poultry (which I now work with) is becoming a big thing here. The Clemson/North Carolina State football game is known as The Textile Bowl, celebrating this industry in the south. But with 90% of the mills closed, what can they call it now? Made in China Bowl?

  • I would laugh, but it really isn't that funny...

  • @hamace I also heard what Bill Cosby had to say about the condition of the US. One day, the phone might say, "Press 1 for Spanish, press 2 for Arabic, press 3 for English."

  • Oh boy! That's not funny at all....It might even say all that in Chinese, since they own our debt.

  • Wonderfull. In Mexico we could find some like that some 20 years ago, but producing, not as a museum!!

    I wonder how it survived WWII

  • what was the power for all the mechinery? water/steam/electric ectra?

  • Originally the machinery was powered by a steam engine. Now the belts are electrically driven due to environmental protection issues.

    At the next visit I will upgrade my footage to show some missing parts in the process.

  • shame, the mechines have survived, but the steam engines are not still driving them

  • I have never seen a line shaft system in work, great vid! Textile machines are awsome, I want to get a picker and hopper feeder setup.

  • Good!!!
