[5] There were a few factories erected in Turkey by foreign
capitalists, notably those of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers,
Ltd., the American Tobacco Company, and the _Deutsche-Levantischen
Baumwollgesellschaft_. In general, however, the factory and the factory
town were not common phenomena in Asiatic Turkey. An interesting
account of the effects of the Industrial Revolution upon economic
conditions in Turkey is that of Talcott Williams, _Turkey a World
Problem of Today_ (Garden City, 1921), pp. 268 _et seq._; W. S.
Monroe, _Turkey and the Turks: an Account of the Lands, Peoples and
Institutions of the Ottoman Empire_ (London, 1909), Chapter X; M. J.
