Carter Applauds Idea.
Mr.. A. b. Carter, Of Grcenvillc,
s. c., organizer and founder of the
Southern Textile Exposition com
pany. and secretary and treasurer Of
the show up until the last show, was
in Charlotte this week and had this
to say about the proposed Madc-In-
Carolina exposition:
1--WE have been holding in Green
vile since 1915, scmi-annual textile
machinery show. These shows have
been a big success from the start
and they have been the means of
bringing the manufacturer and ma
chnery dea lcrs closer together. To
show how the public generally has
patronized these exhibits, there were
at the last show 10000 people in
attendance during one week.
Since coming here and talking
to your show proomtcrs have
learned things about my own state
which | did not know before. |
