What a fine advert this is, issued by the Dee Mill Company, a form of cotton spinners based in Shaw, the small Lancashire town associated with High Crompton that sits between Oldham and Rochdale and that formed part of the vast number of textile processing companies that were situated in south Lancashire. The Dee Mill has been constructed in 1907 and survived, latterly as part of Courtauld's empire, until the 1970s.
The mill is infamous due to the sad loss of the mill's steam engine that was counted as one of the finest of its type and that had been run as 'preserved' on occasion following the late shift to electricity at this mill. The engine and engine house was even scheduled as an 'ancient monument' but this did not save it as it was allowed to deteriorate and become vandalised after the demolition of the main mill building in c1984. Eventually even the engine house and equipment was cleared in the 1990s.
The company, as seen here, specialised in superfine yarns in both American and Egyptian cottons, the latter possibly accounting for the hieroglyphs on the advert frame. The vignettes show the cotton plant and boll as well as a cop, a cone and a hank of the finished yarns.

The museum was originally built as a worsted spinning mill in 1875, then in more modern times was bought by Bradford Council in 2000 and opened as a museum in 2004.
One of the many brochures and publciity items issued by the world famous Platt's of Oldham who were, for many years, one of the great names in textile machinery. Frames, of the Slubbing, Intermediate, Roving and Fine Roving types, were a vital part of the production of cotton yarns and this brochure looks at various models manufactured by the company. These Flyer Frames could include various components such as Ashton & Moorhouses Patent Duplex Cones, Curtis & Rhodes Patent Winding Motion (this overcame objections to the Houldsworth "Jack-i'th-Box motion) and Platt & Hilton's Patent Change Gear, all illustrating the technical complexities and innovations of textile technology.
The brochure dates from 1938 and has an eye-catching cover depicting thread being wound onto a bobbin. Platt's dated back to the 1770s when Henry Platt was a blacksmith manufacturing equipment and the concern through the family line until 1868 when as a limited liability company they were based in the massive Hartford Works in Oldham. In a town dominated by cotton, and with other major machine manufacturers, by 1929 Platt's employed 12,000. The company continued to expand and in post-WW2 years they effectively became two companies; manufacturing and sales. In the 1970s a series of mergers and takeovers, primarily by American concerns, saw Platt's become part of an international group and the Oldham works closed.
Stanley Mill was planned by Sir Richard Arkwright of Cromford fame - part of the first development of industrial labour and production. It was never the success (or the size) of New Lanark in Scotland, but it struggled on till the 1980s.
It is interesting to imagine those faces from the past trying to make sense of the world we now inhabit, where these mills are penthouse flats desired by wealthy commuters. To these people, commuting, if it had existed as a word, meant the cart from Bankfoot to Stanley.

I am guessing that this was taken before the first world war (there is at least one Edwardian collar). Like much else of their kind in the UK, these mills finally closed in the 1980s.
