This document is a three-ring binder 14 cm x 18.5 cm x 3.5 cm. The binding is very poor; all that remains is part of a binding in soft brown leather with a pocket stamped in black ink “Property of General Electric Co. Schenectady, N.Y. If this book is lost finder will please return it to the above address.” The contents attached to the metal rings are many pages of typed and printed pages of information regarding textile mills and allied interests in the United States. The first “page” had typed on cardstock “Textile Mill Data Book No. 75 If this book is lost, finder will please return to the Mill Power Dept. of the General Electric Co., 84 State St.., Boston, Mass. Charged to C. A. Baer 1330 Pine St., Philadelphia - Philadelphia Office.” Part of this typed information is crossed out in pencil.
