EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling industrial heart of Dunfermline, Scotland in 1905, as depicted in this photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The image showcases the thriving textile industry of the town, with six prominent businesses displaying their advertisements on the sides of their factories. At the center, the grand R E Walker & Co. advertisement proudly proclaims their expertise in "Manufacturing Damask, Tartans, and Plain Cloths." The Reid & Co. Limited sign, to the left, boasts their commitment to "Manufacturing Linen and Cotton." Further to the left, Albany Works of Inglis & Co. specializes in "Textile Manufacturing," while Andrew Reid & Co.'s Pilmuir Works focuses on "Linen Manufacture." Hay and Robertson, another textile manufacturer, is represented by their advertisement on the far right, showcasing their extensive range of "Damask, Tartans, and Plain Cloths." Lastly, James Matthewson & Son Ltd., a linen manufacturer, completes the scene with their simple yet effective advertisement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the Edwardian era's industrial landscape, showcasing the diverse range of textile businesses that contributed significantly to Scotland's economy during the early 1900s. The factories, with their towering smokestacks and intricate advertisements, symbolize the spirit of innovation, ambition, and hard work that defined the era.
