	The South Union, Kentucky, Shakers in Logan County provided a number of services for their own use and for the benefit of "the world", including fulling cloth. Fulling involves cleansing and shrinking fabric, usually woolens, before it is finished. This broadside provides "instructions for the information and benefit of Domestic Manufacturers in Woolen Cloths" and a list of stores in Kentucky and Tennessee that accepted the fabric for the Shakers. This 1815 advertisement also explains how customers were to wrap and identify their bundles for delivery.
