“I knew families who operated sewing plants for several decades until the cheaper foreign imports put them all out of business. “
I guess you don’t know the difference between a sewing plant and a textile mill. They are as different a business as there could be. The only common thread is that they both involve thread. Textile mills involve chemicals, and potential water contamination, the EPA has driven them out of business.
Lol, I absolutely know the difference and have been through both types. That's why I used the term 'sewing factory' to clearly distinguish from textile mills that produce various fabrics.
You sure made youself look foolish in thinking you were making some brilliant correction. Lol.
