Historical note:
The Lortex Corporation was a converting company, probably organized by the Lorraine Manufacturing Company. "Converters of cotton and silk," Lortex bought fabrics from "grey" mills and had them finished, either speculatively or on specific order. James R. MacColl was the original co-owner, secretary and treasurer. The company was incorporated in New York State on 23 March 1912.

Scope and content:
The records of the Lortex Corporation are insufficient to offer by themselves a good picture of the operations of a converting company. Only the journals (1912-1929) are of any utility.
