THE SUPERINTENDENT
of the factory is Mr.. c. w. Hobrook,
who has had charge of some of the most
extensive Mills on this continent, and on
each floor, and in each department, are
men and women who are experts in the

skill and experience, command liberal
salaries. Ofcourse
THE PRESIDING GENIUS
of the Mills is Capt. VIM. Oliver-one
of the most genial gentleman it has ever
been my pleasure to meet with. 1t is to

stands forth to-day as the grand, leading
industrial establishment of the State of
Mississippi.

manner. He has a corps of experienced
tailors, and also employs quite number

in appreciation of the cleverness of
Capt. Oliver, and the skill and taste of
Mr.. Hamburger.
