A January 1929 directory of textile manufacturing plants in the territory served by the Southern Railway System, listing 1,182 plants with 13.8 million spindles, 273,566 looms and 57,763 knitting machines. It opens with a statistical introduction and bar charts on the growth of cotton spindles and cotton consumption in southern versus other US mills since 1880. The bulk is tables by state and post office giving each company's looms, spindles, power source and goods made, for cotton mills, knitting and hosiery mills, and bleaching, dyeing and finishing plants, with a summary of machinery and a closing map of spindle locations, power lines and coal areas.
