1t Takes A Lot Of
Cotton To Make A Cal

Ever since Eli Whitney invented
the cotton gin in 1898, cotton has
been King of the South, the very life
blood of this section of the country.
Consequently, the size and price of
each crop constitute a topic of con-
versation in these States second only
to the weather. i L {. lh 4
The most common use of cotton is
for yard goods and dress material,
and, when cotton is discussed this
use of cotton most readily comes to
mind. Yet a very large percentage
of raw cotton is used in the manu-
factuFe Of a varied list of eommodi-
ties. lAslgreater useris made of cot
ton for new and varied industries,
to that extent is the economic life OF
the South stimulated.
When a bubble of gasoline was
harnessed. to a motor car. engine in
the early years of this century, ans
industry was born that today, I'M
doubtedly, uses more raw materials.
in huge quantities, from every sec
ton of the country than any other
manufacturing industry. e..
This industry used cotton, too, in
large quantities. In fact. millions of
dresses could be manufactured from
the raw cotton used yearly by the
automobile industry alone.
For instance, during 1887, General
Motors used 2S!575.OOO pounds of cot
ton in unholetarv and made and Ok =
$4,000 pounds of cotton linters-
small particles of cotton used in
batting, glass plastic, sheetings and
cheaper cotton fabrics while an
other 35.261.37S pounds went into
the tires purchased by General Mo-
tors car divisions. Tx to Is pounds
of cotton per car tires.
In fact. SO pounds of cotton went
into each General Motors car.
