A room for twenty workers may be plainly furnished at a cost of $300 to
$500. If a large number of expensive sewing machines are desired, the
estimates must be increased by several hundred dollars. The Manhattan
Trade School has forty foot-power machines of the kinds most in use in
the workrooms of New York.

The equipping of a workroom for electric power operating, including
general and special machines, motor, cutting and work tables, cabinets
and chairs, will be considerably more expensive than the one for garment
making. In the latter, one sewing machine can be used by several
workers, but in electric operating each worker must have her own
machine. The electric motor adds also to the expense. The minimum cost
of equipping a shop for twenty workers would be $1,000 to $1,500. The
necessary equipment would be as follows:

ELECTRIC OPERATING WORKROOM

Plain sewing machines in rows, per head $22.50 upward
Troughs for work between the rows and tables for the
machines (per every two machines) 10.00
Special machines (two needle, embroidery, lace stitch,
buttonhole, straw sewing, and the like),
each according to kind 35.00 to 125.00
Motor, each 140.00 upward
Electric cutter, each 25.00 upward
Cabinets, tables, chairs, and irons, see above

The Manhattan Trade School has fifty-five plain electric sewing machines
and thirty-two special machines, as follows: three buttonhole, one
two-needle, one binding, one zigzag, five hemstitching, five tucker,
four Bonnaz, one braider, one hand embroidery, one scalloping, nine
straw sewing.

In workrooms conducting trades which use paste, gum, and glue, the
following special equipment is required:

Glue pots, gas, each $7.50 upward
Glue pots, electric, each 21.75 upward
Hand cutter, each 50.00 upward
