Inscription:

inscribed - on image, u.r.: ““WHY is it that the WILLIMANTIC THREAD will / life more ounces of dead weight and is smoother / than any others? Any other manufacturer can buy / the same sort of cotton and the same sort of / machinery to work it. Why, then, the superiority of / their product? Simply because it is made by people / who know more than any other people in the world / engaged in the same work. They put more / brains into their work than others do. They / are intelligent enough to know the value of / care, intelligent enough to be conscientious / about employing it, intelligent enough to know / how to employ it with skill, to pro- / duce the best results. Does it not pay / them directly, then, to increase their / knowledge? Decidedly.” - From the / New York Sun, Feb. 22, 1883.”
