This remarkable fact is so re-cent
that neither "Information
Please Almanac, 194T' nor "World
Almanac. 1947" mentions textile ex-ports
as coming to us from
Guatemala. Yet they are coming
at the rate of 10,000 yards a month
and increasing monthly. Both
bocks mention textiles as being
imported into Guatemala. True,
textiles from English and Amer-ican
mills that -are made by ma-chinery
without a touch" of indi-viduality;
not such textiles as are
coming out and growing into im-mediate
favor for very original
sportswear for both men and wom-en.
ASPS ago. long before the
Spaniards saw Central America,
the Mayans had remarkable skill
(shown by wrappings of the dead)
in hand-spinning their native cot-ton
and other threads into fabrics
of remarkable fineness; in vat dye-ing
with varied colors extracted
from woods-and nuts and .plants;
and in hand weaving for their own
uses. And it should be added: dec-orating
with ancient emblems that
were symbols once but" now unique
ornamentation. In* fact among the
.Guatemalans the colors and the
weaves worn by the men and wom-en
even tell from what province
or village they'come (just as our

Mr. Clements had an idea
—two in fact—select the finest
handweavers in Guatemala to pro-duce
under careful supervision,
uniform quality to export, assemble
the product at- Guatemala City and
take it to New Orleans by airplane
for Customs Entry. A native
Guatemalan took the lead in gath-ering
under one roof the most
skilful weavers of his and neigh-boring
provinces; and Clements
took the lead in handling the en-tire
output. There is no power ma-chinery
