Brainerd
& Armstrong Waste Embroidery Silk
Back
a few years ago, I posted some information about the silk manufacturing company
Brainerd and Armstrong showing
some pages from their 1885 Art
Needlework, Knitting, Crocheting and Embroidery book. I mentioned their ads for Waste Embroidery
Silk for 40 cents, that included
a sheet of Designs
for 100 styles of Crazy Stitches enclosed in each package. See posting at:
