Decorations for the King's visit: making union jacks, 1909. From "Illustrated London News", 1909. 'The Song of a Shirt: A Song of Comfort...Messrs. Smethurst and Holden, in Manchester, commenced business as shirt-manufacturer in 1875...there is the large building with big, airy rooms, well lit and ventilated, awhir with the rattle of numberless sewing, button-holing, and button-sewing machines, in whose bright, healthy girl and women workers it is impossible to recognise the industrial successors of the ''woman weary and wan."...these modern sempstresses earn wages rising to and exceeding thirty shillings a week, according to their skill and industry.' From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
