The New Yorker - 10/25/58
Shortly after the close of the World War, S. Stroock & Co., Inc., in its own laboratories, and with the aid of specialized chemists, skilled textile machinery technicians and intensively drilled workmen, began in its mills at Newburgh-on-Hudson, N.Y., a series of exhaustive experiments with the determination to produce commercially a cloth of 100% pure, fine camel hair through the exhaustive use of the "noil" and the finest portion of the No. 1 Quality fibre after continuous combing. [. . .] The accomplishment of this task, the development by Stroock of this wholly-new method of processing 100% pure, fine camel hair - the production of a cloth "fit for a king," yet available to all - is today still one of the rare and outstanding achievements of Western World textile manufacturing, and so recognized throughout the length and breadth of Occidental countries.
