turing Co., winch. promises TO De OF
great benefit to the village and town.
The company was induced to come
here by the gift of an excellent site and
water power, including the old mill
property standing on it, with taxation
exemption for ten years. The COM
pany agrees to employ, at least, the
average of one hundred hands for the
next ten years. Larger buildings were
erected than was stipulated by agree
ment, and the factory is now in ope-
ration, having just been completed.
| Forty or fifty hands are now employ
ed and new ones are being added as
the older ones become so skilled as to
teach the new corners The power,
machinery and size of the mill are
such as make it possible to employ
two or three hundred hands. The
erection of the factory has already
| given a new impetus to the affairs of
the village. We predict a growth in
the year to come that will be much
larger than in any single year in the
past.
