ran into further difficulty. The
new machine would work well only
with peculiar twi re. He had mad lie
ready to build the machines on a large
scale. but he must be sure Of supplies
of twlne.
He made the rounds of the c0rdage
mills 10 search OF Irvine. The precise
kind he waited wasn'J then made to
any extent. Edwin II, Filter of
Philadelphia told him that to make
This peculiar twine, except By hand,
would take new and special machinery,
ind that cOrdage makers would not
be justified in going to such an eX-
pense unless, certain Of large orders.
About how much did Mr.. Deerng
thlnk he could use?
Mr.. Deering said he had thought of
placing first order for ten car loads.
! Mr.. Filter. who had been courteously
explanatory rather than acutely IL
terested, SAB up and took notice right
away. Ii Deering was ready to risk
a fortune In building machines that
would use that much twine right at
the start Filter wasn't going to miss
the chance of making the Irvine. He
didn't,
The harvester was ready before the
Irvine. The new machines were pour
ing on the market, creating demand
for this special Irvine, when only
few cordage mills we're equipped to
make the Irvine on large scale.
Irvine mills multiplied, but for some
years they were always behind the
demand which the new binder was
creating. And SO twlne prices were
"high."
Perhaps in the years while the
cOrdage mills were getting into bal
ance with the harvester mills-gettiDg
supply up to present and future de-
advantages were taken
OF this peculiar situation. The TWICE
binder introduced new cordage and |
created for it an enormous demand. |
1t enlarged the cordage field. which
had bee1 shrinking as the sailing |
ship went out, to dimensions unknown
before.
In time the industrial situation got
into balance. Binder Irvine is now
made by free labor at prices which
none can call high" since it is sold,
at profit, in open competition with
twine made by prison labor costing
only its bare subsistence.
Incidentally, the failure, indus
trially and commercially, OF the Kan
