FORT WORTH g WOODEN MILL.
The Bigsby brothers, owners of the
Huntsville WOODEN mill plant, the oldest
and one of the most important manufac-
turing establishments of our city, have
perfected arrangements to remove the
entire plant to Fort Worth, Tex. and
are, now engaged in taking down and
boxing the machinery for shipment to
that point. This mill is provided with
the latest and best approved machinery,
and was fast attaining an enviable and
widespread reputation for the excellence
of it's work under the superior manage
ment and skill of the Bigsby brothers,
who have had charge of it for the past
few years. Under their experienced
management and supervision the
gooe 8 manufactured have been brought
into successful competition with the same
grades and kind of goods from the lead
ing manufactorief of the country, and
especially has this been true of the dress
flannel manufactured by them. Indeed,
an extensive trade has been worked up
for these goods throughout the state,
and they will be missed by many pleased
patrons elsewhere as we'll as here. The
BigsbY brothers are industrious. euer-
getic and skilled workmen, and We re-
greet exceedingly TO have to chronicle the
removal of themselves and their impor-
tent industry from our town, but since
they have determined to go, We COM
mend them and their excellent families
to the good people among whom they are
about to cast their lot, and bespeak for
them the patronage and consideration
with their merits. -
