TV vision anti loyalty of textile wn in Cleveland countyand surround ing section throughout the past year tWoiil!ts perhaps more than any one I tiling Tor the growth of Shelby during j ihe year, which surpasses the growth | of any other year in the history of the town. Despite the fact that during the jut I-' months the textile situation bas been one of depression, this coun ty in a general way hardly felt the fiwalled “hard times," and now that the situation is "perking up” those not j any more connected with production! are enthused over the improving out-i lock for the manufacturers who sus-1 taint'd a loss in keeping their wheels,) spinning and their employes on a full i mrking basis in order that the de pression would not be felt generally." New Cotton Mill. There is not a vestige of doubt but' hat every textile concern in the sec-! Piou has been losing money recently,) bat the loss was confined to the man afaetmr and not employe or com-! .iutiitr. Their-ahility to “weather”. th$ j bad months has served as a tonic to die mill men themselves. The result is1 that Shelby will soon have a new $400 0(10 textile plant, to be erected by Jno. ‘ R. Dover and associates; another large; slant i- making a $100,000 addition,! sad still another constructing a new power darn, while many improvements ' of lesser importance are being made t: practically every mill in the Shelby! section. Although they do not voice their i optimism for future business to any extent the improvements and new plain speak loud enough for the out-| look here. Busy at Dover. The Shelby textile situation is al im -t summed up by John R. Dover, who divides his interest between his j textile plants, welfare work and his fhurch. The> three mills which he heads —•‘Eftskie,” “The Dover” and “Kath eririf —never halted for a moment during the period of depression.' Although orders were scare for pro-' ducts from the 11,000-spindle sateen] plant at Eastside and the 11,500-spin-• * specialty plant at Dover, not a sin-; die wage was cut—no employe had j to fight the wolf” other than on his < regular job. Needless to say every- j titimg-hums around the Dover chain! wav and within some months the new W; million dollar "Ora” will add to tie hum. Mr. Dover, who has just re turned from consultation with busi es representatives in New York, siiys: "Business has been more active h recent weeks than in some time, and practically every one I talked with in kw York was optimistic over the out Kk in the textile business. The con ikleace I have in the future may be *tn in the new mill.” The Me Murry s, J. J., and sons: A. ^ and S. A., who control the Belmont Ijiil and arc interested with the Roys ■s in the Double Shoals plant, look ™ considerably better business in the rooming months.

At the Shelby Cftt.on mills, the twn’s largest plant of 20,000 spindles, t'ery thing- is on a full time basis, and tnere have been no wage cuts. R. T. kGtand, superintendent of the mills which the the late Joe C. Smith '•i1- secretary, says “that all indica tioii-. are for an increasing business 7 a better run of orders.” The view 0 ™G8e behind the big plant for fu business may be seen in the $100,. .

The two plants are also ® 11 full time basis, and have made *) "age cuts—and moreover, to the 'Kbt of their employes they say ey *1° not anticipate doing °' Ann improvement in the textile situation,” they say, “can be felt al , ydi as yet it is of a minor nature steady in the increase.” At Lawn the power center, the Schencks j Ve erected a new power plant and sm tvitha view of an increasing plant ,!''i to furnish the rural sections there ft with electric lights, onsidering that Shelby and sur ofriuing section has maintained a Wy growth in recent months there Nothing whatsoever to cast a pall of , °m ov«r the situation now and that Pitted in the future, ousters of the Cleveland county medict—1“Shelby a city of 20,000 ive years or so.” It looks as if they aJ be right from the activity of the *1 e industry and the county’s out an,llng lead in the agricultural word.
