CAROLINA TEXTILE
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
Survey Shows Southern Mills Have
No Accumulated Manu-
factured Stocks.

CHARLOTTE, N c., October 90
Carolina textile mills face the prospect
OF a period of continued prosperity
with a highly favorable reaction on
business in general indicated, accord
ing to information from the office here
of David Clark. publisher Of the Tex.
tile Bulletin, after an extensive and
thorough survey Of the industry In
the two States by the textile expert.
1.-THE textile mills Of the Carolinas
have definitely and clearly entered
upon a period OF prosperity which
promises to be sustained over a con-
siderable period" said the statement
from Mr.. Clark. What the con.
tinued operation of all the textile
plants in this section means to the
general prosperity OF the Carolinas
is easy to see," it was pointed out.
Going into the factors on which he
based his prediction Mr.. Clark pointed
out that practically none Of the mills
have accumulated stocks of manu-
featured goods in their warehouses.
The survey conducted by Mr.. Clark
revealed, 1t was said, that in the last
10 days approximately dozen North.
ern textile plants had announced
plans looking toward the development
of plants in this section.
"Cnquestionably the position Of both
the textile worker and the investor in
textile plants in the South is stronger
and more to be desired than the po-
sition of the textile worker and
holder OF textile stocks in any other
section Of the country" the state.
