Punch, or the London Charivari, July 1, 1914

The little crafts! How soon they die!
In cottage doors no shuttle clicks;
The hand-loom has been ousted by
A large concern with lots more sticks.
The throb of pistons beats around;
Great chimneys rise on Thames's banks;
The same phenomena are found
In Sheffield. (Yorks) and Oldham (Lancs).
No longer now the housewife makes
Her rare preserves, for what's the good?
The factory round the corner fakes
