A 1897 Cassier's Magazine article surveying the cotton industry in India, from early legends of the cotton plant and ancient hand-spun Dacca muslin to the mechanized Bombay mills of the 1890s. It covers hand-loom weaving and warp preparation, the native churka gin, baling, mill construction and humidity problems, labour conditions and wages, and the prospects for improved cotton cultivation. Illustrations show Bombay mills, mill operatives, warping for hand looms, an Indian hand loom, a native cotton gin, and hand calico printing.
