Textile Machinery Trademarks

The textile machinery suppliers were the enablers.  Without the driving “Yankee Ingenuity” that drove invention and manufacturing in the 19th century, advances would have been slow to say the least.  Here are a few of the trademarks.  Hopefully full articles will follow!  Scanned logos courtesy of Peter Metzke.
