As you read these sources, pay close attention to who the authors were and what their purposes were in writing.  Write 750-1000 words on one of the following topics:

1.  How do these pieces either support, contradict, or add to the portrayal of cotton textile mills (and those involved with mills) as portrayed in our reading from Allen Tullos, Habits of Industry.
2. Compare the textile industry as portrayed in the “Health and Happiness Number,”  of the Southern Textile Bulletin, with the textile industry as portrayed in the other two pieces.  How does the purpose of each piece shape the article?
