An excerpt:
''Of all the different kinds of lace known as ''Irish'' that called ''Irish Crochet'' is the most durable, serviceable and popular. It is made in three distinct styles at the present time; one is slightly padded, one is heavily padded, while a third has no padding. The heavily padded lace is considered the most valuable and is well worth the extra time and trouble spent on it, as it is practically everlasting...''
