Hey, Sam, your jeans are blue, aren't they? Haven't you ever seen a field of blue cotton? LOL. My first employment after high school was in a "Cotton Mill" At the time it was the wolds largest producer of denim. Raw bales of cotton would arrive at one end of the facility in rail cars. It was carded and spun, then sent to the "dye house". next came the weaving room, and lastly the "finishing dept." where I had the misfortune of spending five and six nights per week. (11:00 PM until 7:00 AM) There it was brushed, inspected, treated to the shrinking process, (except for what we shipped to Levi Strauss, we shipped theirs to them straight off the loom).It was a fascinating process, but held no future as the ladder of success there was very short. At the time the pay wasn't too bad, but I doubt if they kept up with progress compared to what other companies paid as time passed. After a year, I decided that I had enjoyed as much as I could stand, and moved on in search of greener pastures. That was 56 years ago, as someone has already stated, times have changed drastically. I am not sure if the place is still in operation at all today. Most of such operations have gone U KNOW WHERE.
