Leinonen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the artists and makers of these lace adornments for the wardrobe and home remain unnamed and unknown.  We hope that with scholarship and attention, some of their histories can be recovered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We invite you to contact the Center for Knit and Crochet if you can assist us with cataloguing and identification.</text>

            <text>Maria C. Vallejo: Old School. This Wilcox and Gibbs beautiful sewing machine enjoyed the advent of electricity. How fun! How much faster and quickly the stitching and making of clothes had become. Every housewife would have wished to have one at home. The industrialized world was moving fast, and soon there would be many more to choose from.</text>

              <text>A historic Wilcox and Gibbs sewing machine, produced sometime in the early-1900s. This machine was a one-thread “Chain-Stitch Machine”, a selling point for the Wilcox and Gibbs company. These machines were cheaper than their competitors like Singer, and were popular for making things like feed sacks, which would later be taken apart to be re-used. Wilcox and Gibbs produced both hand-crank and electrical sewing machines, this is an example of an electric model. </text>
