Rock ISLAND GooDs. Young & Wriston of
Charlotte manufacturers of Cassmeres at the
Rock Island Mills in Mecklenburg county, took
the highest premium 900 at the Richmond
| Va.) Fair week before last on goods exhibited.
The Richmond Examiner, speaking Of the
! Rock Island goods, says:
''These goods surpass in beauty and intrin-
sic worth anything of the kind we remember
to have seen, and should attract the attention
| of purchasers wherever they may be exhibited
We noticed among the samples displayed, sev-
eral grades and Styles any one Of which would
grace the figure of the most fastidious, and are
fair opponents of Southern enterprise in the
old North State at the same time clearly prov.
ing that we have already at our doors the
means Of favorably competing with any manu-
factory in the country. The goods are made
of pure wool, free from the cheats and mixtures
often found in Northern fabrics, and are put
up in handsome and attractive style. BY their
energy and perseverance, these gentlemen have
built up business Of about one hundred thou
sand dollars annually, overcoming The obsta-
cles so long and urgently argued against South
ern enterprise. and made the Rock Island Mills
an important institution of the South. With
all our heart, wish them greater success
than they have even yet enjoyed
The highest premium was also awarded at
the North Carolina State Fair and at the Neck
lenburg Fair to the Rock Island goods. These
goods deserve the attention of all Southern
dealers at least.
