Making the World's Cloth

This space will shaw weekly a new aspect of one of the great indus- trial institutions of the world.

Successful manufacturing depends upon economies of operation. With the perfections of electrical power machinery new ways to economy have been opened to the progressive manufacturer. Economies of maintenance, economies of labor, economies of fuel.

For electrical power permits of the use of individual motors on each machine, thus effecting great power savings. It eliminates the continuous whirl of

pulleys, belts, and shafting whether the machines are working or not.

Westinghouse Electric Machinery means surer, steadier operation, less losses through breakdowns, less cost of repairs, more efficient operation. Many manufacturers have cast aside thousands of dollars' worth of

machinery to install Westinghouse.
