This is one which perhaps doesn't get a lot of publicity, but in our area it should. Although cotton fields are but few in this area, cotton still re mains the hub of our economic well-being in Newberry County, for it provides employment for many hundreds of our county residents. Too seldom do we pause to remember about the importance of cotton. Not only does it pro vide employment, but the city and county, the schools and all residents benefit from taxes paid by the Kendall Company, Newberry Mills, Inc., the J. P. Stevens Co., and the smaller manufacturers of cotton pro ducts. National Cotton Week gives us a good opportunity to express our appreciation for these fine industries which have been the backbone of dur economy for many years. You can support this industry by buying cotton goods at every opportunity, and by looking for name brands pro duced by our local manufactur ers. Support our local textile in dustry—buy more cotton!
