From out If the chaos of new industries
the down trade has sprung to a most con
spicuous place. Down pillows and head
rests, as well ms down comf0rtables, were,
up to Il short Willie ago, imported almost
entirely, but today they are manufactured
very largely in this country, and many
grades are produced and sold here more
cheaply than the imported.
The idea OF manufacturing quilts or com.
fortables filled with down goes back in Its
origin to n patent secured in England many
years ago hy Yorkshire drummer who
conceived eden Of filling a crctonne com
Portable with silk waste The thing hung
fire for a while until some one introduced

by the hot vapor of the hydrocarbons COM

densing thereon. 1t is very light, porous
