Brothers great plant sewing silk, the ar
ticle with which they began business. is the
only article Of silk not now manufactured
by them.
Long ago the culture Of the silk worm
was given UP by American silk manLfact-
urers as unsuited to the soil and climatic
conditions of this country; hence the raw
silk is imported From statistics It is
shown that the greatest production Of raw
silk comes from China, Japan and Italy, in
the order named that China. the United
States, France, Japan and Germany are the
great manufacturers or consumers of raw
silk. This gives the United states rank as
the second silk manufacturing country in
the world. even greater than France.
There is much that is interesting in a
description of the different processes en-
poyed in this South Manchester plant, and,
while in a brief space IL is impossible 10

the reeers or flatures. A number Of them
are placed in basin Of hot water, and
after the gum is softened the outside ibrcs
are removed. so that the ends run free and

is known as raw silk, and imported 10 tho
