In general the larger plants were those manufacturing full-faghioned
 hosiery. One plant with 700 employes was manufacturing both
types of hosiery but the bulk of their product was full-fashioned
hosiery. Of the plants manufacturing seamless hosiery, none had
more than 250 employes. Table 6 lists the hosiery plants by size of
establishment and type of product.
