Before each table stands
an operator, who slips a glove over each frame, draws it down to
shape, and after a moment's exposure to the warmth removes it, smooth,
shapely, and ready for the box. The frames upon which the gloves are
drawn are long and narrow for fine gloves and short and stubby for
common ones. Then the glove is taken to the stock room, where there
are endless shelves and bins to testify to the chief drawback to glove
making, the necessity for innumerable patterns.--_The Mercer._

FABRIC FOR UPHOLSTERY PURPOSES.
The object of this invention is to produce a firm, solid,
dust-resisting, and durable woven cloth, composed, preferably,
entirely of cotton, but it may be of a cotton warp combined with a
linen or other weft, and is particularly applicable for covering the
seats and cushions of railway and other carriages, for upholstering
purposes, for bed ticking, and for various other uses. To effect this
object, a cotton warp and, preferably, a cotton weft also are
employed, or a linen, worsted, or other weft may be used. Both the
yarns for warp and weft may be either dull or polished, according to
the appearance and finish of cloth desired.
