FINISHING PLAN I

Award Contract For Cedar
town Mill

Robert & Co., of Atlanta, mill
engineers, representing the United
States Finishing company, said to
be the largest concern in the Unit
ed States engaged in finishing dye
ing cotton fabrics, has let contracts
amounting to approximately ST.
100000 for the erection of a fin
ishing plant at Cedertown, Ga, The
plant will be the Southern branch
of the finishing concern, it is
stated.
Accordig to "Chip" Robert, presi-
dent of Robert and company, in
corporated, the new plant is being
built and designed to take care of
the rapidly increasing textile de-
velopments in the South, and is the
second large Eastern cotton goods
finishing concern to move con-
siderable part of its interests to
Georgia, the other being the Low
ell Bleachery, of Lowell, Mass, who
are now completing a large plant at
Griffin, Ga, in connection with the
Kincaid Manufacturing company
5nere.
1t is becoming more and more
clearly apparent that the center of
the cotton manufacturing industry
will be shifted to the South in a
few years. said Mr.. Robert. mo
concerns are going to move their
entire plants from New England
to the South, but when existing
! concerns now located in New Eng
land plan extensions and additions
to their plants they will for the
most part build Them in the South,
and in addition, some concerns, in
stead Of building new Southern
plants are purchasing and operating
already existing plans in odrer to
lower the average Of their produc-
ton costs"
Mr.. Robert, who has just return
ed to Atlanta from a trip into New
England to make reports to GER
tain New England manufacturers
regarding probable development in
the Southeast, declared that there
s now more textile industrial de-
seIopment along the Southern rail
way from Danville to Atlanta than
can be noticed in all the various
textile centers in New England.
Although no figures could be Sc
cured from interested parties, it is
said that the complete development
program planned by this company
for their Georgia plant will when
finished aggregate considerably in
| excess of $1,0OO,OOO. The parent
company is capitalized at nearly
$8,00O,OO0 and has a number of
branch plants, all of them, however,
being located in New England Its
annual output now is $50, 100000
yards of finished cotton goods.
