THE STORY OF ARTIFICIAL SILK 
only until the last day, when it was packed 
with an amazed throng of 12,000 people. 
Here were the most beautiful fabrics that 
I had ever seen. Famous actresses were 
posing as mannequins. It was a display, one 
would think, for queens and princesses alone. 
And yet the prices put these fabrics within 
the reach of millions of women. 
This new Artificial Silk, I realized, is at 
the moment the most important new thing in 
the world. 
It will eventually re-clothe the human race. 
It will revolutionize the whole textile trade, 
from silk to jute. It will make good clothes 
cheap and universal. 
Best of all, it now gives us a chance to 
recover our supremacy in textiles, as we 
control 80 per cent. of the Artificial Silk trade 
of the world. 
ARTIFICIAL SILK Is BrrtisH. It was in- 
vented and developed by British chemists, 
and its present success is wholly due to 
British business men. 
I venture to say that we are now making 
more net profit out of Artificial Silk than out 
pie
