Labor-Saving Machinery Is
Sought at Southern Tex
tile Exposition.

~ tno Aesoc1ate0 Frees.
GREENVILLE, s. c., November 4.
Scores of exhibitors at the seventh
Southern Textile Exposition, under
way here this week, have already
sold thousands of dollars worth of
new machinery to mill officials visit
ing the exposition, it was learned
yesterday from the management of
the show and from many exhibitors.
New machinery shown at the ex-
position this year in most cases fea.
lures the element of labor saving, and
this Is making a tremendous appeal
to Southern cotton mill eXecut yes and
owners. Equipment which a few
years ago required three or four per.
sons to accomplish a given amount
of work in the process of making
cloth now takes only one operative,
and 1t is this which Is bringing about
re-equiping Of many mills.
The management of the exposition
announced yesterday that a large
number Of exhibitors had already re-
served space for the eighth South
ern Textile Exposition to be held at
Textile Hall in the Fall Of 1928.
A meeting of the American Society
OF Mechanical Engineers will be held
here today, and on Friday the an
nual gathering Of the Southern
Textile Association will be held Both
gatherings usually attract a large
number of mill engineers and exec
utives from over the Southern textile
belt.
