THE STORY OF ARTIFICIAL SILK 
these new profits? How can I hitch my 
wagon to this new star ? ” 
There will be vast changes, very soon, in 
our clothing trades, textile machinery trades, 
carpet and rug trades—in all manner of 
trades. 
As for our cotton, wool and linen trades, 
they must at once face new problems. Their 
markets are in danger. Nothing is as it was 
10 years ago. A new factor has changed the 
whole situation. 
So far as I can find, this is the first non- 
technical book on Artificial Silk that has been 
written in any language. There are very few 
books on it of any kind. There are only four 
in the English language that give a technical 
description of the processes. 
Not much is known by the public of this 
wonderful new textile. There has been very 
little advertising, for the following four 
reasons -— 
(1) The demand is greater than the supply. 
(2) The Artificial Silk firms have had to 
concentrate their attention upon manufactur- 
ing problems.
