British Textile Firms Jubilant.
America Only Land to Estab
lish Industry Firmly Since War
BY n. E. C. BRYANT.
Washington, Jan. 17. Southern
manufacturers who use dyest lifts will i
be interested in the progress the gov-;
ernment is making to supply the dyes
formerly imported from Germany.
A statement issued from the com
mittee on public information says:
"The United States is the only
country that has succeeded in estab
lishing a successful dyestuff industry
since the war began, and it has been
found that American dyes are as good j
as German dyes, according to a report
made by the bureau of foreign and I
domestic commerce. Formerly lm-j
porting annually as mucn as 1 10,000,-
AAA k. . 1 11 J .. 1 . V. I

country exported during 10 months of :
last year 112,500.000 worth of dyes in
21 foreign countries and exports are
growing rapidly. The largest pur
chaser last year was Britain, which
used over $3,000,000 worth of dyes in
10 months.
"In view of her situation as to
dyes, Britain is congratulating herself .
on the recent capture of the recipes '
of 257 German dyes. It is said that ;
these were secured with great danger :
and difficulty by British textile firms
assisted by the British foreign of- j
flee. Prof. Philip B. Kennedy. com-
merclal attache of the American em
bassy in London, who cabled the
news to the United States bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, says
that it is reported that all the red- j
pes have been tested in Switzerland J
by F. M. Rowe, of the Manchester 1
School of Technology, and certified I
by a British consular officer. The
recipes will be given to the British
government, which will establish a
dye industry in England.
At;ictiiuii2i iiuiii me request ril-j
isn aye nrms ana rom tnose in Swit
zerland are now in this country to
obtain information about the Ameri
can dyestuff industry, with a view to
co-ordinating their efforts with this,
country's in covering the world mar- i
kets after the war.
"In this connection it is regarded j
particularly significant that some two ;
hundred manufacturers of dyestuffs!
from all parts of the country will '
meet at the Chemists' club in New ;
York January 22 and 23 for the pur-;
pose of forming a national associa-1
tlon. This association when formed 1
will pay particular attention to the (
high quality of American dyestuffs. '
and the standardization of colors, j
Through this meeting It is hoped that !
some co-ordinated plan may be reach:
ed by American manufacturers to ;
cover the foreign field for American ;
dyestuffs in the future. j
"Among the developments in Amer
lean made dyestuffs has been the per- j
fecting of vegetable dyes and mor-
dants. One which has served a par- i
ticularly useful purpose has been tha :
osage dyes, first exploited by the de
partment of agriculture, and devel
oped for utilization as khaki dyes for
uniform cloth." !

An Advantage to Buyers of Fire Insurance
Members of this Association and others may now buy their Fire
Insurance direct from the Mechanics Mutual Insurance Agency, which,
has been recently chartered by directors of the Building and Loan
Association. These gentlemen serve without salary or compensation
of any kind and' the profits arising from the insurance business will
, be applied to 'maturing the shares of the Building and Loan Asso
ciation. ( ' .
Borrowers are bound to find it especially to their interest, inasmuch
as they are obliged to carry Fire Insurance, and the Mechanics Mutual
offers them the advantage of participating in the profits of the busi
ness. The non-borrowers will also be benefited through the fact that the
shares are bound to mature in less time.
The manager 6f the Agency is Mr. Lawrence S. Boyd, an Insurance
man c-f. large experience, who has been connected with the Building .
and Loan Association for the past six months. . ' i
