industrial development in general and cot
ton manufacturing growth in particular"
This is one of thousand or more tell
ing truths presented in industrial Georgia.:
Cotton Manufactures" an ably written and
delightfully."- illustrated volume, which the
Georgia Railway and Power Company has
published for distribution among opportu-
nityseeking investors and particularly
among executives at the International Tex
tile show now in progress at Boston. Re-
peatedly The Journal has directed attention
to facts, figures and impartial comments
that witness to the wealth of Georgia's I'M
developed and inviting resources for cotton
manufactures. Never before, however have
we seen eXtensiv, striking, and at
the same time so conservative an unfold
ing of the case as this book contains. 1t
cannot fail to impress those for whose pc
rusal It is primarily intended; not to in
spire with larger enthusiasm over the States
industrial prospect, every Georgian who
scans its revealing pages.
We all have been aware, in a general
way, that the textile future promises great
things for a commonwealth whose climate
permits year-round mill operations at costs
lower than where winters are rigorous. and
long; whose hydro-electric resources have
their largest development and usefulness
yet to come; whose labor speaks one Ian
guage and is all-American in custom and. in
impulse; whose raw material is produced in
fields that lie only few hours or a few
minutes journey from spindel and loom.
But not until these and kindred generalities
brought home to use by concrete facts,
do we begin to glimpse their full, far-reach-
ing import Herein lies the peculiar service
of Industrial Georgia: Cotton Manufac-
lures" 1t not only records, but is certain to
make much history.
