it to the rack. Key components include the outer fabric, or
"shell," which is cut on the bias, held together with a slip-
stitching that helps it recover from knotting, and rolled on
the edges for body; an interlining of silk, wool, or some
blend of fabric that is coordinated with the shell to add
weight and "hand"--i.e., feel; an extra slice of fabric
known as "facing" or "tipping" on the back; the
manufacturer's label, which contrary to popular practice is
not meant for tucking in the small end; and a "bar tack"
stitch which fastens the ends of the seams together.

The company A has functioned from Arrow Park in
Wisconsin for many years now. 1933 saw the introduction
of a watershed model, the Vacumatic, and with it the now
famous "Arrow" clip, designed by Joseph Platt. The
accessory X was manufactured in four colors: India Black,
Pan American Green, China Red, and the famous Tunis
Blue. Another product Y was first marketed in 1931. The
resulting product was strongly alkaline and contained
isopropyl alcohol, a solvent not previously. At that time,
most containers were manufactured using pyralin, which
was often damaged by the alcohol it contained. This
problem is what eventually led to the development of the
Z. However, the Z was only made available ten years after
Y, in 1941.

“He first describes a small hook and swings upward to
delineate the left arm, then the head and horns, the right
arm and then the spine; at frantic speed – which is shown
by the thinness of the line – he scribbles two wavering
hind legs before he slows down, almost to a stop, while
drawing the soft curve of the underbelly. As if he
suddenly remembers there is more to do, he swiftly shoots

breaking the flow, signs off with a flourish.”

 7. Historically, a particular Indian industry has
a depended on imports such as aspen from Sweden,

further limitations on the selection of indigenous
species.
