BOW BRITAIN WON RAYON SILK
INDUSTNY •
In a praiseworthy effort to show its
millions of readers that a country's,
greatness . depend. rather , on the en-
terprise and- tenacity of,• its people,
than upon natural resources,. the News
of the Worldis running a- series ' of
•articles. showing how In the past
British ` inventors, ' business' . men and
financiers M,ave established , great >in-
dustries.. The plain . inference is that
they likely to do so in the fut-
ure: We have already told the story
of how the foundations were . laid
for .British' control of rubber at a
.time ,that practically no , rubber grew
under the Union Jack. A•:companion
storyis that of the ' rayon silk indus-
try"' which has: had a mari'ellous
growth. ' The headquarters of the
manufacture .of• artificial: silk is in
Coventry, England,'where,, one firm'
that of Courtaulds, controls more than
a third of the money ' invested in
.Incidentally we have heard that. the
best artificial silk in the world is
manufactured in Canada. Whether its
manufacture is done by a subsidiary
company' :to a parent English firm
we are not aware, but we are' told
that four-fifths of the net profits
made by the trade as a whole goes
oto England. •
The notion that• it might be pos-
sible to make artificial. silk is a very:
old one,; and as .'long ago as 1650 Dr.
Robert Hook, ,a noted microscopist,
'offered the 'suggestion.. In the 19th
century, Sir 'John Swan, another
Englishman, made a product :whicli

real silk by the use, of nito-ceiulose.

ted the se 'called- "viscose"-methed:"

the• process to present•day standards'
and . about 85 per cent of the world
production • is through this method.

time when the directors of the busi-

Greenwood Tetley, of .Leeds, and Sir
Thomas Lathan, from; Manchester', had
to face '•• the prospect; of winding up
their concerns • or going into some
other line of manufacture.
At • this time the' manufacture of
artificial silk was in .its infancy. It
was . almost a. laboratory curiosity.
But the Courtaulds .concluded that
they would gamble in this new com-

in existence no such machinery as,

course no. skilled .operatives: So the'
former crepe manufacturers had to.
blunder along. and the blunders' were
costly. Much money was sunk in the
various attempts,, and when at last.
they -found themselves able' to pro

that there was no demand for it.
Wholesalers. would not look at it. Re-
talers were, with the greatest, re-
luctance, induced totake, some. sam-
ples and pay for what they sold. On
the . board • of directors Tetley was
about the only man who was firmly
convinced that the day would come
when . rayon would be in demand.
There was a meeting 'toeview, the
position. Most of those ' present. wer
in falter of washing their hands of
a , bad bargain. and hanging out the
crepe for the last time on the door
of the -great house. ,
Tetley insisted that the, trouble was
not with • the wholesaler or with the
retailer.' Still less •was it with the

Queen Victoria lived there was no
great .demand for it. But when .the.
old =gneeri died . and Queen Alexandra

was- perhaps the most important
manufacturer of this dismal material
hi the world. So .profitable was the
business that the Courtaulds made
nothing else. Then came Queen Alex-

ready for something else., Other mann-

POOR. LMMIGRANT BOY
BECOMES, MILLIONAIRE
•
The Paisley Advocate had the fol-
lowing story: y: • '
Through a visit made in Paisley, a
few days. ago by Mr, J. W. Walker,
of Toronto, who vitas' at the home of
Mrs:,F. C. Gibson over a. week -end,
therwas unfolded a Life=story that
Will be,of special interest to people of,
Paisley ancf district.' Fifty years ago
a .young man from Irelatild' arrived
here looking for employment', and got
a farm job at Lovat with Sir. Donald
31jcDonalti' at '$1 per month. Shortly
after he improved his circumstances
by accepting $14 a month from Mr.
Thos. Bearman of East Eldersiie, :at
farm work. It was not long however;:
beforehe' made another change; this
time going to Toronto. There in the,
course of a few yeahe invested
in ,a city.Iot and ope up a career
in the housebuilding and renting busi-
ness that has made him a multi -Mil-
lionaire, and one • of the most exten-
sive holders of, single dwellings and '
apartment . houses on. the :continent.
Mr. Walker is a man of stalwart
physique„ and a I bachelor, whose per-
sonal appearance gives no indication
of the' extent, of his earthly posses-
sion's- He is a plain living citizen, who.
is pretty fully occupied with his pro-
perty interests, finding has chief•. re- ,
creation in working in his garden
among the beds of flowers that adorn
the It rge open lot on which his conz-
modinus Baine stands. Mr. Walker re-
called that after arriving in Paisley
from Ireland. he bought his first suit
of clothes from Mr. J. C. Gibson, who
was, then •-ii the generalstore busi-
ness. He has a sister living • in Brant
,Tp., andafter visiting her came on'
to halve a look at Paisley. He per-
poses returning in the summer, as he
°found the wintry weather unfavorable
for' getting about by motor ear.
