The Most Splendid Carpet (Classic Reprint) by Susan H. Anderson Pdf
Excerpt from The Most Splendid Carpet I cannot help but believe that it was so for the Senators who comprised the upper house of the first six Congresses of the United States, which convened in Congress Hall in Philadelphia from 1790 to 1800. The carpet's message was implicit in its design elements; it spoke of America's promise, her abundance of natural resources, and the power vested in Congress to govern the country with wis dom and justice. To the men who debated the ratification of Jay's Treaty, or deliberated upon the admission of new states into the Union, the implications of a linked chain in the carpet's design was a message that could not be ignored.

The book summarizes the development of the American carpet industry from the early nineteenth century through the 1930s. In describing the tufted carpet boom, it focuses on Barwick Mills, Galaxy Mills, and Shaw Industries as representative of various phases in the industry's history. It tells how owners coordinated efforts to keep carpet mills unorganized, despite efforts of the Textile Workers Union of America, by promoting a vision of the future based on individual ambition rather than collective security.
