EocKwoop's KNITTING MILL.
Situated at the upper end of Main street
are located the Mt. Anthony knitting mills
more commonly known rs Rockwoods
mill
The main building is 40 feet deep BY 30
wide, built Of wood, two and one-half
stories high On the east side is an add-
ton built of brick, 40x75 feet, and in the
rear OF the main building is the picker
| room, also Of brick, 30xj0 feet.
1t is full four-sct mill, employees sixt,
hand and twenty sewing machines. Its ay-
erage production per day is fifty dozen
gents cotton and wool and all wool vests
and drawers. The pay roll amounts to 81
900 per month. and the value of the prop
erty is estimated to be $751; 900.
The machinery is run mostly by water,
the mill being provided with tlfty-horsc
power Turbine water wheel 1t is also pro
vded with steam to he used in cases Of
need, the engine being sixty horse power
q ON Wood & Mann, which is placed in
the addition on the east side. The mill ls
heated by steam, thirty horse power
boiler being used for that purpose alone
Ample means for cgrcss are provided. in
case of fire Steam is also arranged so
that t fire should break out, every room
can be instantly filled with it, and in addi-
ton three inch pipe extends through the
mill, from which water can be carried to
any part If it through the hose with which
every floor is fully supplied, y separate
wheel is placed in the basement, which is
used only ~ force water through the pipes
which extend through the mill The ma
chnery is all tirst-class, is kept in the best
of order, and when in operation the floors
are scarcely Jared, SO quietly does it run.
We were much pleased in our tour
through the mill to notice the plan adopted
by the proprictors Of the works, to keep
the different sizes of their goods separate,
rs by it they can tell at a moments notice
what size Of goods they are the least sup
| piled with 1t is their intention to place
more machinery in the mill as soon as
spring opens, as with their present force
they cannot supply the demand for their
goods, it being universally acknowledged
that of their class Of goods none better can
be procured, and although, they kept their
mill in operation during the late panic,
| (Which seriously affected some parts of the
country they can scarcely supply the de-
mand now made upon them. As is the
case with all of our manufacturers the firm
are liberal and upright men, and worthy of
all that kind fortune may bestow upon
them. b.
