Spinning and weaving for the home trade and the world. Keep the looms running when the world stops buying cloth.
Lancashire made cloth for the world, and in the 1930s the world is buying less of it and buying more from Japan and India.

Orders come through the Manchester merchants at prices the mill does not set, and short time is a phrase everyone in the town knows.
