Mattress stuffing used by New York dealers in trade
Immigrant workers grind domestic fibers into a common stuffing used for divans and chairs. The material travels from Philadelphia to New York via dealers, then to coastal shops, with New Jersey shore fibers also entering the supply chain. The trade centers on New York firms paying about $15 a ton, distributing to regional dealers for upholstery use.
