225  Knitting Mills

This industry group includes three types of organizations which operate in
the knitting mill industry: (1) the integrated mill which purchases
materials, produces textiles and related articles within the establishment,
and sells the finished products; (2) the contract or commission mill which
processes materials owned by others; and (3) establishments commonly known
as jobbers or converters of knit goods which perform the entrepreneurial
functions of a manufacturing company, such as buying the raw material,
designing and preparing samples, and assigning yarns to others for knitting
products on their account.
