Gastonia Gazette, January II: lone
of the great lessons that the United
States Is going to learn from this
war" remarked Mr.. ]. F. Thomson
manager Of the Thomson Mercantile
companys big store, to the Gazette
man recently, rs that we can make
in this country most II not all the ar
ticles which we have for all these
years been importing from France
Germany and England at great cos'
to our own industrial life. For in
stance" he said as he drew down from
a shelf a pasteboard box containing al
imported article with Made In Ger
many stamped on the label, mere IL
an embroidery cotton which the LADIES
use in doing practically all OF theii
fancy work. Heretofore we have al
ways bought It in Germany. 1t is made
out Of raw cotton shipped to that coun
try from North Carolina or some other
southern state. On account OF the de-
moraliZed conditions in Europe re-
sulting from the war 1t Is not being
manufactured now and as q result the
supply was practically exhausted. An
American manufacturer has duplicated
this article and Is now putting II on
the market. We bought some today
It Is exactly the same thing, just as
good as the imported article, and the
beauty about II Is that 1t Is being
manufactured in our own country. An
other interesting thing about this par
ticular article Is that the manufactur-
er has just closed a contract with a
Gastonia mill to furnish the yarns
from which 1t Is made. So IT Is not
only an American product but IN large
measure d IdStoHid ptouuS"
war will get the American people out
of the habit Of demanding imported
goods and demanding American
goods it will have taught them les

lars being kept at home which has
heretofore gone abroad" -. The COM
