Raleigh, Sept. 1—One of the interesting features of the North Carolina State Fair this fall will be several complete weaving outfits by North Carolina cotton mills.
The Rosemary Manufacturing Company, which last year had a blue ribbon exhibit in the shape of two highly complicated looms for making table cloths and napkins, will be back again this year with a larger assortment of machinery.
The Erlanger cotton mills of Lexington will also install a loom for the manufacture of light shirtings. Other Tar Heel cotton mills have indicated their interest in the fair, and the textile feature will be one of the distinct attractions this fall.
Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt, the hustling president, is interested in the development of the furniture industry, and is particularly interested in having exhibits at the fair, for the reason that High Point is the second largest furniture manufacturing city in America, while Lenoir, another North Carolina city, stands third.
Several furniture manufacturers have made reservations of space and this new feature of the fair will give added interest to the plan to show what North Carolina is doing in the way of manufacture.
Reservations for space in Floral Hall, which will be given over entirely to the industrial enterprises of the State, indicate that the fair will have the most complete line of exhibits in this department in its history.
