"Apparently th cotton Industry
is rapitlly getiinK: on its feet and ef
ficient cotton mills have little to

iiientionahle. Only the futun can
tell whether woolen drcHH kooiIh

claim that they ure on tbt verge

to forecast what the women of the

ever, that people live In warmer
houses, travel tn closed cars mid
own fur coats, makes them less In

every beatiiitf system installed, for

Into the coffin of the woolen Roods

"In a recent windy of the textile
situation, one factor has come to

of note: namely, that the smaller
mills are dointf relatively better

course the truth Is that hi most
cases ceilaln poplc wanted to :ell
out and this 'consolidation' argu
ment was u:a d as a cloak to liable
them to pass on their holdings to
the public. Subsequent history has
shown very clearly that there was
nothing in this 'mass production
economy for textile Industries. ,
1 "Statistics show clearly that both
, cotton and woolen goods are being
! manufactured today mitre effteienl-
y and more economically In small
I plants than in large plants. Many
small textile manufacturers today
:aro making money, while nnst big
! manufacturing tetiie corporations
are having serious difficulty. All
I of this should be very cue uurugini;
, to small independent ma nut act tir
ers. The day of Urn small textile
manuiactiirer in America is not

J der absentee ownership. .
I "tine thing more," concluded Mr
Ulabson, "which this study has
I shown me, ami that, is one of the
real difficulties of our big textile
corporations today. I hiring the
j war these large corporations rose
on the tide of high prices and large
profits due to war orders. The gov
ernments of the world competed
with one another for textiles, espe
cially for woolen gobds. The cost
I of manufacturing was not a factor,
no ability was needed for, selling,
ond yet these corporations made
Inuge profits. As n remit they built
I up large overhead cxpeiisi a, paid
'big salaries to their officials, sales
managers, district ni a n a g e r s.
