October 18 - 24, "Textile Week”
Monday, October 18-24 is
“Textile Week” in North
Carolina. With the theme
“Textiles: Touching Our
Lives Totally,” the 3rd
annual event will include the
Textile Bowl football game,
Saturday in Raleigh, be
tween North Carolina State
and Clemsorr Universities.
The textile industry is the
nation’s 10th largest em
ployer, manufacturing the
equivalent of 24-billion
square yards of fabric each
year.
In North Carolina
textiles remain the
leading industry, employing
some 250,000 men and
women and manufacturing
over sl2-billion worth of pro
ducts in ‘Bl alone. The more
than 1,000 textile companies
in 82 of the state counties
have made North Carolina
the leading producer in the
U.S. and a world leader in
textiles.
Industries started moving
South after the War of 1812,
when farm prices dropped.
By 1914, there were four
loud manufacturing firms;
Edenton Cotton Mill, Wilks
Veneer Company, Branning
Manufacturing Company
and M.G. Brown.
The Edenton Cotton Mill is
a small manufacturing

company owned by
stockholders. The Mill’s
president-treasurer is A1
Philips,
secretary is Tom Philips
and assistant secretary is
Beth .Taylor. Hie firm
employs approximately 220
people and produces about
100,000 pounds of yarn a
week. Cotton processed
there is purchased not only
locally, but from as far
away as California. The
cotton bales are combined,
to produce a stronger
product and spun into spools
of yarp, which are then sold
to weavers or knitters,
mainly for upholstery. Some
of the yarn is used for such
products as bandages and
some is even made flame
retardant and used to cover
electrical wires.
The textile industry is
highly competitive. The
Edenton Mill has to compete
with prices of U.S.
manufacturers as well as
government subsidized
firms in such places as Peru
and Brazil.
The Edenton Cotton Mill’s
safety record is remarkably
good. The U.S. textile in
dustry as a whole, has been
rated among the safest
industries in America - in
recent years among the top

Although the Edenton Mill
is still using the traditional
I ring-spinning equipment,
they plan to convert to the
more modern method of
open end spinning in the
next few years if the
economy and business keep
improving. Not long ago
mills processedaroundsofeet
of yarn a minute. Open end
spinning equipment
processes around 300 feet
every 60 seconds.
The textile industry is
among the nation’s leaders
in contributions to charities,
spending at a rate better
than twice the all-industry
average. The Edenton Mill
does its share by con
tributing to various
projects, one of which is the
broadcasting of the Aces
football games.
This week we all join in
saluting the textile industry,
both locally and all around
the state. Their thousands of
products for consumers and
industry, touch our lives
everyday, from clothing,
home products and
recreation to health care
and space exploration.
Americans yearly purchase
an average of nearly 60
pounds of textile products
per person.
