Everyone dressed in what their mothers had sewn, and sometimes there was such a good mood in the factories that there was a dance there — there was a significant concentration of the clothing industry in Kouvola, then the work stopped like a wall.
Textile and clothing factories employed more than 3,000 women in Kouvola and Iiti in the 1970s.

In the 1970s, there was hardly a home in Myllykoski that wasn't dressed in clothes made by local clothing factories. Teiniasu, Ragtime, Dixi and Krison employed hundreds of local women in Myllykoski in the 1970s and 1980s. Kaitila, Gefa and Artella in Kouvola were no worse.
