Cotton Manufacturing Statistics The Cotton Manufacturers of the United States consumed last year a little over five million bales of cotton. If they could be kept busy, that is every spindle running, the present year, they would probably consume two million bales more. Every user of cotton goods can help, wheth er Uit v are bought for wearing apparel or fur cotton bags, or for household use. In helping the cotton manufacturer you help the farmer sell his cotton and help the manufacturer keep his help employed, and there are over three hundred and fifty thousand people engaged in the cotton milla, to say nothing of the thousands of other people that are employed directly and in directly in aiding the manufac turers. Ten million people are also directly and indirectly de pendent upon the cotton mills for Miiiport. The American Cot ton Manufacturers make every thing' that is suitable for wearing apparel for men and women, and every character of cloth for hoil.iohold use. For any futher information, address, T.
