Cotton Textiles By The Millions Used In Sleepers Rich Source of Cotton Industry Income Since Year 1859 Enough cotton sheets and pillow cases to tuck 44 times the entire population of Edenton into bed were purchased last year by The Pullman Company. Its total bed linen inventory, an nounced in Chicago by Prank S. Rick, general storekeeper, would be suffi cient to give clean sheets and slips to each of the 3,935 men, women and children of Edenton every night for 303 nights. Pullman owns 2,342,186 sheets and 1,881,387 slips, worth about $2,000,000. This unique view into the opera tions of the sleeping car company, which was probably the largest user of linens in the world before the war expanded the requirements of the armed services, was offered to the cotton industry which in 1941 sold more than $260,000 worth of sheets and slips alone to Pullman. The total estimated value of all linens in the inventory report was put at $2,571,000 and the annual laun dry bill in recent years has exceeded $1,600,000. With the price of cotton higher now than two years ago, Pullman expects to surpass its 1941 purchases, provided its increased orders for lin ens are not curtailed, Rick pointed out. Often called “the world’s great est housekeeper,” Pullman plays host to more than 40,000 travelers nightly. Its fleet of cars, now numbering 7,000, has represented a rich source of income to the cotton industry since 1859, when the first .sleeping car was put on the tracks.

C., THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1942 William H. Coffield “Mi&sing In Action” Mrs. W. H. Coffield received a message Wednesday morning from the Adjutant General’s Office of the War Department, which was writ ten on May 18, saying that her son, Private William H.
