Of particular interest to the distinguished visitor was the first cotton mill which John Horrocks erected. In those days the only employees were John and his two sisters. Thousands of girls are employed to-day in Horrocks’s mills, amt they gave King Fuad a rousing welcome as he passed under an arch of 120 bales of Egyptian cotton, weighing forty tons. He witnessed the whole process of manufacture from the opening of the bales to the finished article.
