National Textiles Week Celebrated At Eden
(Continued from Page One)
tours of the Karastan Rug Mill.
Dr. Hance said the special week was
a way to impress on the people of the
nation how important the textile in
dustry really is. “It was also a good
way to introduce students to the career
opportunities open to them in the in
dustry and a way to make people aware
of how dependent they are on textiles
for many of the things they use and
enjoy.”
He noted the considerable effect that
the textile industry has on the econ
omy of the nation. He pointed to the
7.000 textile plants, in nearly every
state, giving employment to 969,000 peo
ple, and the 2o,000 apparel plants with
1.373.000 employees.
Dr. Hance said textile employees earn
$5 billion a year, and apparel people
$6 billion. Textile sales reached $22.3
billion in 1971 vbth a total profit of $488
million. Capital spending amounted to
$590 million.
He pointed out that the textile in
dustry is the largest employer in Rock
ingham county, employing 60 percent
of the work force. Fieldcrest Mills, with
5,000 employees in Eden, is the city’s
largest employer, providing payrolls in
Eden amounting to $32 million a year.
Fieldcrest is also the largest taxpayer
in Rockingham County with city and
county taxes totaling nearly $1 million
a year. Dr. Hance said these local taxes
paid by Fieldcrest help provide schools,
streets, water works and sewerage sys
tems, law enforcement, fire protection
and other advantages that make Eden
a good place to live.
“While this was the first National
Textiles Week, we hope that it is the
beginning of regular annual observanc
es that will enable the public to be in
formed about the dynamic textile in
dustry and its contribution to the lives
of all the people,’" Dr. Hance said.
