Linen Industry in United States Aims for Growth
A Bureau of Commerce report argues for a national linen industry in the United States to reduce reliance on imports. Key hurdles include finding flax growers and developing affordable chemical retting. Currently little fiber flax is grown domestically, with seeds dominating production and retting remaining costly. The piece notes Russia led flax fiber output, while U.S. industry faces market resistance to domestic linen. Also mentions Congressman Scully receiving a $2500 Wilson check for Monmouth County hospitals.
