Industry 1000 Years Old.

The silk industry of China is more
than 1000 years old. 1t began with
the domestiCation of the wild insect
which is now the valued silk worm,
and it has continued without serious
interruption in China ever since. AL
though the industry has had hts ups
and downs like others. it is still
fourishing and growing in spite of the
artificial silk industry. due to the
growing popularity OF silk as a fabric
for the Western world. The silk stock
ing vogue has had much to do with
recent progress.
