The development of the textile finishing industry during this century is traced, with particular reference to commission finishing. New factors affecting the future of commission finishing are discussed, and an attempt is made to define the probable future balance between horizontal and vertical organisation. Those commission‐finishing units which continue to operate as a purely service medium to converters are at greatest risk. The chief operators in a ‘commission’ sense will be the vertical organisations. Particularly with industrial textiles, different patterns may develop, but these will essentially be based on the finisher being directly involved in the production and marketing of the final products.
