J.P. (President of the Textile Institute), ' Manchester and the Cotton Industry '
MANCHESTER is, of course, the centre of the great cotton industry, on which its prosperity is based. Mr. Howarth, as President of the Textile Institute, stands at tho head of tho industry, and is thus well equipped to tell tho story of this great network of business organization, stretching from the flooded borders of the Nile, where the cotton is sown, to tho remote provinces of China, where the coolies wear English cotton shirts.
