AMERICAN DYES ARE
AS GOOD AS GERMAN
New York Evening Post.)

The uncolored story of American
dyes has about $50 shades, as compared
with the nine hundred of the German
chemical saga. The most convincing
presentation of what American manu-
facturers of dyestuffs have accom-
plished since August, 1914, was given in
the sixth national textile exhibition,
which has just been closed at the Grand
Central Palace.
Not all of the $50 dye makers of
the United States are. represented in
the booths and stalls, but there are
enough Of them to show that the indus
try has made gigantic strides Any
trade would indeed require seven
league boots to overtake in forty
months what it took Germany forty
years to develop.
AS a matter of fact, the dyes which
are made in this country are. taking
a general average, just as good for the
specific purposes for which they We're
intended as any colOrs ever dumped
from a German submarine. Much of
the dissatisfaction registered on the
faces of American woma nkind con-
corning cur native dyes has not been
due to the products themselves. but to
the fact that the dyes are often applied
to uses for which they were not in
tended A vigorous complaint made
only a fe wmonths aso concerning some
goods which had faded was we'll iusti-
fled, because, although the color used
had the distinction of having been
brought here on the underseas freight
er Deutschland. it was never intended
for silk, but for wool.
The American dyestuff industry has
come up out of great tribulation. Be
fore the beginning OF the European war
the making Of dyestuffs in this country
consisted largely of finishing Off
partly completed products of SWitzer :
land and Germany. The material. coal
tar, which is the mother of so many
hundreds of aniline dyes. was con
served in Europe and thrown away In
the United States. In these days il
seems like a bad dream that America
was once sunk in such economic sir
that she squandered al! the volatile
constituents of coal in the manufac-
i ture of coke.
