Dyes and dyeing have been recurrent themes in JCE. Volume 3 (1926) contains three articles on the history and importance of the dyestuff industry. Especially noteworthy is "Growth in the Dyestuff Industry: The Application of Science to Art", by R. E. Rose, in the September 1926 issue. The article traces the development of synthetic dyes from 1771 to 1926 and includes small patches of cloth tinted with the dyes being described. Rose makes eloquent and timely statements about the importance of the research chemist in the industrial setting.
