Excerpt from Makers of Our Clothes: A Case for Trade Boards, Being the Results of a Year's, Investigation Into the Work of Women in London in the Tailoring, Dressmaking, and Underclothing Trades In the course of this investigation we have received the most courteous and sympathetic help from almost all the persons from whom we have asked for it - often from people whose very names we do not know. To thank all of them separately is not possible. We owe especial gratitude to the Women's Industrial Council, which body, besides allowing us access to certain information, put at our disposal for a time the services of their specially employed investigator, and to the Outer London Inquiry Committee, who have permitted us to use their extremely valuable records of the house-to-house visitation of home workers in West Ham. The inclusion of these cases brings the total of those that have been before us in this work to a thousand, or rather more.
