 America Is Down to Its Last 100 Cotton Mills
==========

Many of the US's remaining textile factories that turn cotton fibers into yarn and fabric are shutting down for good. The Chicago World's Fair in 1893 showcased the growth and prowess of the US textile industry, with over 60 cotton-specific manufacturers. The US is now left with only 100 cotton mills. Export markets remain the last hope for farmers.
