Mercerized cotton was first intro.
duced as a substitute for silk some ten
or twelve years ago, although the
process for making 1t was invented
about 1910 by celebrated English
dyer, John Mercer, the Craftsman SAYS.
He discovered that when cotton, either
In cloth or yarn, was subjected for
short time to the action Of strong
caustic alkali and then thoroughly
washed the resulting material was
much stronger than before, had shrunk
very considerably and had a much
greater affinity for dyestuffs. Mercer
patented his discovery and made some
use of 1t in calico printing, but the
process was nearly forgotten until, In
1889, 1t was discovered that by proper
treatment cotton could by this means
be made so lustrous as to compare not
unfavorably with silk.
To make the cotton lustrous the
goods, after dipping into the strong
alkali, are kept firmly stretched, and
their strong tendency to shrink resisted.
until the alkali has been thoroughly
rinsed off and the last traces neutral
lied with little acid If this is done
carefully, when finally dried the cotton
hbers will be found drawn out smooth
and lustrous, while still retaining their
new qualities Of strength and increased
dyeing power. To get good results In

the very best silk, but 1t is quite well
marked, and for replacing the cheap
grades Of heavily weighted silks, as, for
instance, for Underwear, Innings, etc.,
the mercerized goods are of very great
value owing to their strength and dur
ability, as well as their cheapness.
