How Much Thread - Made III II
Wear.

The following article under the above
heading appeared III the ATLANTA Consti-
tuition, OF d cember 18th, 1881, and the
substance Of It has subsequent y been
issued and extensively circulated i'll
pamphlet form by competitor:
"A prominent advertiser of spool cot
ton has furnIsued some figures Il adver-
tis.us tia he makes sutfic enJ thread ev-
cry day to go four times arGnud the world,
upon which tp form al stimae. Ia
us : how much thr' ad L. takes 20 90
four imcs a~Oun t wO Id.
One dozen Of thread of 200 yards con-
tains 2,400 yards. Now, the world at the
equator is 800 degrees of GO 10 statute
miles, or 24,912 miles III circumference,
] ,760 yards to the mile, or 1915 l2U
yards. 1t requires, therefore, l6,203
dozens to go around the world, and
daily product of four times that quantity
amounts to 1906 dozens per day, or
with three hundred working days, IN the
year, the prodigiOUs quantity OF q, 922,
500 dozens for one company alone. How
they wind it all does not appear, fer the
automatic winding machinery, of which
they boast that they have seventy-e'G ut
machines, turning out 6,OOO to 1850
spOOls per day, can, at their highest
estimate, turn ont 1880 dozens per day,
or 1860 dozens per anuum.
1nis Is one company alone, and not
the largest exhibitor at Atlanta, Pow
much thread is made in a yea? Who
knows?'
The manufacturers of Clark's CONT"
Spool Cotton are the prominent adver-
Users referred to, and their advertise
ment from which the author quoted
reads as follows;
"The ONT factories at Newark, New
Jersey, aud Paisley, Scotland, employ
800 operatives.
Make sufficient thread daily to go
arouud the world four times.
Use 5000 horse pOwet.
Consume 1900 tons of coal annually,
or 40 tons daily.
The manufacturers of ONT are
The largest manufacturers Of spool cot
ton Ill lLe world.
The discrepancy between what is al
legged as their production, and the
73,O76 dozens per day nee essary to 90
around the world four times, is easily
accounted for.
Tie autl Of the article n ques ion
ha led, wilfUlly or otherwise, 10 lead
Inc public to believe that TINS at N 1T
is without fOuuGat Oh IN ia BY faIi'ng
to take into account the production Ut
ghe w,rhs in 2 sisley, SEQ laud. Their
advert ,-emett distinctly sta es tina.
The 0. \. L. fac OF at Newark, n. j.,
aud Paisley, S otlaud, MAX sufficient
thread daily to go around the worli
Il rec ines, and tho gir his quantity
m.y be termed "prodigiou-,' it is never
theless correct.
Even had their advertisement read
more tuan sufficient tire Il to 90
arou d the world our tim s daily" they
would still have be n st ting the literal
truth.
The article also states that the manu-
facturers of Clark's 20, \. Z" are not
the largest exhibitors at the Atlanta
Exposition.
If this remark refers exclusively to
spool-cotton manufacturers and the
magnitude of their pfoduttio theu they
would simply reaifirm that "lhe manu-
facturers of %. n. T. are the largest
manufacturers of spool cotton in the
world"
