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
