to season. Sometimes they
will print small multi-colored
polka-dots on white bleached
cloth, or some small floral patterns.
At another time the
trend will be to stripes, using
a great variety from little
pin-stripes all the way to
wide blazer stripes an inch
wide or more.
There are print designs on
our cloth based on history, or
old pottery and china designs.
Sometimes they use paisley
prints, adapted from old patterns
from India, China and
the Far and Near East. They
use typically American deciffrtc

often comb the entire world
for new thoughts and ideas to
make fabrics attractive and
different.
Many times we see cloth
from Clinton and Lydia after
it is finished by our customers,
and it is almost impossible
to recognize that
these beautiful fabrics were
gray goods produced at Clinton,
S. C. Although I have
mentioned dresses a good
deal, the same applies to
men's, women's and children's
underwear, pajamas, aprons
and almost everything worn.
Often our converting customers
put as much money in
the styling and finishing of a
piece of cloth as the cost of
the original fabric, but it certainly
makes a tremendous
amount of difference in the
demand for our fabrics.
