A 1912 Boston and New York textbook by William H. Dooley, written for commercial, industrial and domestic arts schools and for workers in the dry goods and dressmaking trades. Its one picture shows a cotton mill's blow room, with a row of large spiked cylinders and belt-driven pulleys running overhead under a ceiling of bare beams, drawn in a plain black-and-white halftone that a designer could use for industrial scenes.
