Significant Post-War Changes in the Full-Fashioned Hosiery Industry
"Significant Post-War Changes in the Full-Fashioned Hosiery Industry" offers an in-depth economic and industrial analysis of one of the most dynamic sectors of the American textile trade during the 1920s. Written by George William Taylor, a noted industrial relations expert, this study meticulously documents the rapid transformation of the hosiery market following World War I. The work examines the shift from seamless to full-fashioned production, the impact of changing consumer fashions-particularly the rising popularity of silk stockings-and the resulting technological advancements in knitting machinery.
Through rigorous data collection and industry observation, Taylor explores the challenges of overcapacity, labor relations, and the geographical migration of manufacturing centers. This volume serves as a critical primary resource for understanding the industrial history of the United States between the World Wars. It provides valuable insights into how a specific consumer luxury item evolved into a mass-market staple, reshaping urban economies and manufacturing standards. Scholars of economic history and textile production will find this a comprehensive record of the institutional and technical shifts that defined an era of American industrial growth.
