THE STORY OF ARTIFICIAL SILK 
some day make boards by a continuous 
process, as we are now making paper and 
glass ? 
Why not ARTIFICIAL TIN for containers ? 
There is a shortage of tin. Experts say that 
the tin mines may be exhausted in 20 years. 
The price may soon rise to £500 a ton. What 
shall we do in 1950 unless we can find a way 
to make this marvellous pulp into sheets 
that can be used in the place of tin ? 
As you can see, Artificial Silk has opened 
up the way to a new industrial world. Dozens 
of other industries will spring up out of it. 
There will be scores of specialty companies. 
There will be all manner of novelties— 
entirely new commodities. The whole world 
of manufacturing will have to adapt itself 
to this new raw material that has come into 
being in the last 10 years. 
In the Artificial Silk trade there will be 
openings for skill and inventiveness. There 
will be a need for better salesmanship, as 
competition will be keener. There was an 
over-production in 1926. This may happen 
again unless the Artificial Silk companies 
learn to appreciate the value of skilled Sales 
Managers.
