The Interesting Story of “Lonsdale Rhea” For many centuries the Rhea plant, which grows in Tndia, China and Egypt, has been known as yielding a fiber far stronger than flax or cotton, but its cloth had to be woven by hand. It was known as “the linen of the Orient.” It is an ideal material, for with its tremen- dous strength, and a quality that improves with each washing, it will not mildew. See the towels tomorrow.
