A textile official said last week that
the industry “spends nearly $15 billion
each year for products and services of
a number of other industries” to main
tain its almost 7,000 plants across the
country.
F. Sadler Love, secretary-treasurer of
the American Textile Manufacturers In
stitute, told the West Charlotte Rotary
Club that “many Americans don’t real
ize just how large an interest in textiles
they have.”
For example, he said, “$150 million
is spent annually by the industry for
electric power, $500 million for con
struction of new plants, $640 million for
new machinery, $2.4 billion for man
made fibers, $100 million for the haul
ing of textiles by the trucking industry,
and about $240 million for paper prod
ucts.”
Mr. Love said that the textile indus
try accounts for 42 per cent of manu
facturing employment in North Caro
lina, and that its payroll is four times
larger than any other in the state.
