THE STORY OF ARTIFICIAL SILK At present, there seems to be no limit to its uses. It is made into plush, tapestry, bed- spreads, cushion covers, table-cloths, elastic webbing, dress fabrics, shirtings, linings, crepe-de-chine, marocain, foulard, satin, taffeta, etc. No one can now say what are the limitations of Artificial Silk. Every week a new material is put on the market. Several hundred of the cleverest chemists, inventors and de- signers are now giving their full time to the development of this new Artificial Silk trade. The first British public man who appreci- ated Artificial Silk was Lord Rothermere, and he did not. wake up to realize its vast possibilities until he paid a visit to Italy in 1926. In Italy he found Artificial Silk yarns being made for 2s. a pound——cheaper than cotton. ‘“ The name ° Artificial Silk’ is a misnomer,” he said. * This new yarn may take the place of cotton, wool and linen, as well as silk. Anything in the line of textiles may be made of it, from carpets to camisoles.”
