he's loose li xian as an

oreo today on a roundabout new jersey we're going to visit the city of paterson which was one of america's earliest factory center as you watch this program you might ask yourself the following question first one thousand located where did that came from partisan name will be an error how do the lives of the factory owners and the lives of the factory workers i hope you enjoy your visit to sell it the pain that's what patterson was called one hundred years ago the us is the great

falls the story of paterson as the silk city began right here so as we go around then about you do patterson is and the north eastern section of the state laws in north out of the great swamp into new work day with sake river passes through a gap in the watch on mountains it drops more than seventy feet over lake erie ariel how powerful that what

really matters in was established here because of the rain all the great falls has everything to do with patterns when paterson was a young guy with no electricity and the power of a fast moving rivers was the best way to run factory machine this was called water power factories use water we return to turn the water wheel and the water wheel turning hear stats and downs which ran the machines inside that that's alexander hamilton when george washington's present hamilton with secretary of

treasury the man in charge of an e one of the new nation to have both farms and factories so he encouraged the local businessmen to build a factory center now back to re center should be located near a city like new york where products could be sold and that it would need a source of energy like the river covered by water the great waltz wasn't perfect to supply water was taken from the river before it went over them all it flowed into man made canals called race ways because the water raced through them in the factories along these rays ways to use the water power raceway target is located in patterson's historic district

even today you can see the race plays an attempt to repeal these years not anymore by the time paterson became the subsidy most factories used the factories use electricity and certainly questions still became the most important product made in these factories silk was woven and machines called the feed paterson museum jack destefano and weaver larry adler that showed us what still leading in factories

was like the store silk city exhibition that we have the paterson museum focuses on the textile industry in the city of majors that one person your soul comes from yes china's mother one vivid pricilla was imported from china and japan still is a fiber that comes from the greek root of the silkworm and you'll notice that there or the fibrous nature and it's actually these fibers that are going to be the year their hair like that they're the fibers that are gonna make a skein of soul that sale for eight is boiled in large korea like theirs it's called sky you here in patterson it was a walden interviewed bin and clark nsa or so sure obviously to get from the stage to hear it requires a little steps and one of the festering used to illustrate that process is our issue right here's a little of this machine is

oh that is an issue that makes it leading together crosswise and then flies back widespread are inserted through a gap in the widespread by means of a device that goes back and forth known as the shuttle these cost wise words on a story called the box that is inserted into the show how are you yet ready to go to work not going to school anymore you know you'd be looking for your first job

and be a bobbin boy the boys without a factory they do operations in the early days of sex ed children as young as ten years old were distraught and pushing carts full of audience from one machine to the other girls that same worked in the factory and two in the spinning room with a loaded antibodies morsi own children sometimes worked ten hours a day six days a week because their families needed the money how would you like to work in a factory was called dark and long hours a day una i went to uganda that i mean it can sit in and there was no tv one hundred years ago almost every family in paterson had someone working in the silk industry that's why people understand the

pain today it's a museum comes to mind when you think of the castle that's right the factory owner lived here wanted people to think he'd nailed this castle and arid mountain overlooking patterson like a movie set is it contains magical he wanted to win well oh yeah just like this what happens

well if you were ms jarvis as lambert's guests you would be served by different courses will have thirty different dishes for each course you know it just a walking heartache any servants would great auditions in from the pantry mr lambert was one of silk city's wealthiest man he wanted not only to live far away from these batteries but also high above all now many workers stayed in neighborhoods around the factory and some other workers however moved to suburbs because by nineteen hundred families are taking people from outside madison to work every day and his wife

hey audie and on the ground email us the new

us editions surprise changes to union dues are visitors from now machines order or is the sentiment that worked and he was here and his family earn money you hear different than living at lambert kasell so this let's listen that's right in silks at factory owners and factory workers that are very different from each other no now we know three things about ants and why the great falls was a good location where batteries city

issued ids patterson says much differently there's an insane city to grow as its industry grow many manufacturing cities with industries other than sell grow in a similar way and that is how we became a nation not just the farms factories too it's b it's
