THE CLOTHMAKER Textile Industry Good Provider And Neighbor "As goes the Textile Industry, so goes the South" (and much of the nation!!) is an oft quoted truism. Our Southlands' economy is no stronger or weaker than the textile industry. Not only does the textile industry provide a high standard of living through direct wages and fringe benefits to its thousands of employees, it also provides in an indirect way through the purchase of supplies for operation and maintenance, a healthy business climate for other industries and their employees. ine texine industry is a customer for more than $800,000,000 worth annually of chemicals and $430,000,000 worth of miscellaneous goods from various industries. In one typical year, states the Division of Inter-Industry Economics Bureau of Labor Statistics, the textile industry paid out some $105,000,000 for fuel and power; $186,000,000 for transportation; $25,000,000 for starch; $31,000,000 for packing material; $20,000,000 for paper products; $16,000,000 for paint; $14,000,000 for electrical supplies and $7,000,000 for hardware. These figures were based on census data of 1947 and today would run consid erably higher in a number of categories. Although complete recent data is not available, the Department of Commerce estimates. for example, $223,000,000 was spent for fuel and electricity in 1953 or more than twice the BLS 1957 estimate. Translated into industrial jobs, these purchases signify employment and livel:l i r l i 1 - r *i_ uriuuu iui nunureas 01 mousands of workers in other industries. Another unique aspect of the textile industry's place in the national economy is the huge domestic market which it provides for an American-grown agricultural commodity. In the most recent crop 1 year ended July 31, 1956, the ' U. S. industry consumed 9.200,000 bales of cotton and 1 about 98 percent of this fiber ; was American-grown. For its cotton the industry paid American farmers nearly $1,- ' 500,000,000 last year. To this * must be added the 275.000.000 1 the Mississippi Delta to the < Southwest and California. 1 Linked to textile industry i operations are not only the 1 scores of business activities i Illustrating the letter below j Supervisor for Lydia Mills, ai Dear Dad, I feel that no one could have Dad than I have had and still ha^ played all the positions, as well i when you felt you weren't neede< ' than all the books in the world c and by taking us on trips, visits always placed us on first and y somehow arranged it so that we s were bad you batted in the clear time you led off with a sacrifice in the clutch and, as far as I kn< fast ball past us.

On the average, two-thirds of the American cotton crop is consumed annually by mills of this country. Hence the industry is the major support of cotton agriculture and a key factor in the economy of a region sweeping from the Carolinas through Clinton-Lydia Mills were r host at a recent Luncheon t honoring the sons and daugh- c ters of their employees who 1 graduated from high school t and college this year.
