Cotton Incorporated
 PROFILE
Battling boll weevils and synthetic fibers alike, Cotton Incorporated bolsters the US cotton industry through its research and marketing efforts. To the general public, Cotton Inc. is known for its white-on-brown "Seal of Cotton" logo -- recognized by about 75% of Americans -- and its advertising slogan, "The fabric of our lives." Formally established in 1970, Cotton Inc. has helped raise cotton's share of the US market for apparel and home furnishings (except carpets) to about 60% from a low of 34% in the mid-1970s. The company has offices in China, Japan, Mexico, and Singapore. Cotton Inc. is funded by US cotton growers and importers. It is overseen by the US Department of Agriculture.
