Nelson johnson at the mill is doing a
good business in the manufacture of
brush backs. He and his son turn out
5000 daily. This is business that has
grown up from small beginnings, first
grst-mill then the addition of light manu-
featuring. There is ample water power
for quite further enlargement, and we
heard Mr.. johnson say the other day
that he wished some man with capital
would come along and develope the pos
sibilities of this plant. If this was done
it would be a grand thing for North
SALISBURY.
