Textile Industry Rise in Piedmont Mills Spotlight
An interview with Col. James L. Orr, president of Piedmont Mills, traces the Piedmont textile sector from its early 19th century roots to today. He discusses pioneer mills, wartime government control, large-scale spindle counts near 1.5 million, substantial dividends, and the shift toward finer goods as Southern mills expand both by equipment upgrades and new markets in Asia and Africa. He warns against overproduction while highlighting the sector as a strong long term investment with stock demand rising.
