CREASELESS COTTON. After research extending over fourteen years, the discovery of a process for making creaseless cotton and artificial silk was recently announced at .Manchester by a large manufacturing oncern. Large sums of money have been expended in the researches and many reverses have- been experienced before a. , so)>icn was found. .Previously, creasing had been overcome to a very limited degree by adding twist to the yarn, but that produced a crepelike material and added to the cost of production. The new process consists in putting what is called a synthetic condensation product inside the cotton pair itself., -and similarly inside the silk filament, just as dye is put into a coloured cloth. This gives a wool-like property and adds to the- weight of the mat3rial, Already it has been proved to be commercially valuable, and the firms’s factories have been increased to deal with th lfi anticipated, demand for cotton and artificial silk that will not crease.
