THE STORY OF ARTIFICIAL SILK

Ta

I must give the last word to the leader
of the world’s Artificial Silk industry—Mr.
Samuel Courtauld. He is a modest, understating
 man. He says: ‘No industrial
development could be more beneficial to this
country than a growth in the weaving side
of the silk and Artificial Silk trade, but there
is a long and hard row to hoe first.”

There is much work yet to be done. There
are new machines to be invented. There are
new miracles of chemistry to be performed.
There are markets to be opened. There are
larger mills to be built. There are hundreds
of millions of pounds to be made. ‘
If this little book helps a bit to arouse the
minds of British business men to the unimagined
 possibilities of this most wonderful
of all new trades, it shall not have been
written in vain,
