Written on reverse: "A view of the vacuum extractor and some of the odd dye kettles of the Arlington Mills in its high business life around 1920-1925. This dye house, by loading each draft with a single piece would accommodate [sic] 1084 pieces at one time. The production of this mill at this time averaged about 550 piece mostly made of chrome (bottom or bottom?) blue mens wear worsted serge. Many worsted dress goods were also pressed.
