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 invented
 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
