The Textile Development Company surveyed all aspects of textile mills operations, making recommendations and supervising their implementation for textile mills in the United States and abroad. Paine sold the company in 1934. (Powell, William S. "Paine, Sidney Small." In Dictionary of North Carolina Biography: Vol. 5, P-S. Edited by William S. Powell. Vol. 5.
