American Woolen Mills

Famous quotes containing the words american, woolen and/or mills:

    The ideal of the self-sufficient American family is a myth, dangerous because most families, especially affluent families, do in fact make use of a range of services to survive. Families needing one or another kind of help are not morally deficient; most families do need assistance at one time or another.
    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)

    Three forms I see on stretchers lying, brought out there untended
    lying,
    Over each the blanket spread, ample brownish woolen blanket,
    Gray and heavy blanket, folding, covering all.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing.
    —Irving Mills (1894–1985)
