PURPOSE
To provide detailed data on production and shipments of sheets,pillowcases, and towels. The United States Code, Title 13, authorizes thissurvey and provides for voluntary quarterly and
mandatory annualresponses. The American Textile Manufacturers Institute funds thecollection of supplemental detailed information such as thread count andsize breakouts.
COVERAGE
All companies that produce sheets, pillowcases, and towels in the U.S.(most but not all are partially in SIC 2392). In 1993, the value ofshipments of sheets was over $1 billion.
CONTENT
Data are collected for over 50 types of products. Data include production,quantity and value of shipments, and inventories by type of fabric, size,end use and method of
distribution.
FREQUENCY
Quarterly and annually; reported data are for activities taking place duringthe applicable reporting period. Data on sheets, pillowcases, and towelshave been collected since 1960.

manufactures and arecontacted using form MQ23X. Quarterly data may be revised if firms laterprovide corrected data or return the annual report. Annual figures arecompared with the data
