American Dyes

Dy~o
During the war the people OF tn.
niied States were very jealous TO
the establishment. OF the dye man
featuring industry in this country.
Germany had held the pole on the
manufacture OF dyes and had the sit
uat.on 80 we'll in hand that il was
difficult for our textile mills and her
manufacturers TO get along without
the German goods. This depend
enoe upon an enemy country seemed
TO excite a fervent determination in
America TO free itself fom this de
pendence upon a foreign nation. In
consequence. American business men
engaged actively in the manufacturing
OF dyes. The products. though not
at first satisfactory in quality. were
nevertheless welcomed by the people
OF the United States who were will
ing to suffer inconvenience while
exercising patience in behalf OF Am
crican dyes. But tn. spirit seems 10
be something OF the past. since the
United States Department OF Com
merce has vouched for the authen-
ITCHY OF the statement that the I'm |
tied States dye industry is mcnaced |
Germany is again foregoing towards |
domination OF the dye industry OF the |
world. The Department OF Com
MERGE attributes the German success
in the dye industry to centralized
control and amalgamaiion, elimination
OF wasteful pradices. specialization
by plants. complete lines OF products
util zation OF by-products. cooper
tive buying. selling. production and
competition in world markets. Am
erican efficiency is cndcavorng to
reach the German standards but arc
losing out heavily in the European
fields. 1t is perhaps for the latte
reason that we find the America,
Government engaged in rallying the
country to stand by the manufac'uf
crs of American dyes.
