Text discusses the manufacture of handtufted carpets, Jacquard carpets, Oelsnitz plush carpets, and ordinary wireloom-velvet carpets -- "As we are manufacturing these four grades since 33 years in our factory, are constantly studying their wear and by unremitting experiments are continously improving them as regards construction, binding, and material,"

"Of this Mohair Angora quality a big carpet, 35 square yards in size, lies in our private dining room since 1903 being used day by day. In 1912 we sent this carpet to the "Exhibition of German Carpets in Berlin" to show to the public at large," --p. vii.
