Timber has been hauled on the ground
for the new wooden factory on Tenth
street, near the dam, opposite to the
Thompson single mill, and the work OF
erecting that place Of industry has COM
menced. The men principally interested
in the erection Of the factory are L. V.
Skillings, o. L. Partridge and A. N.
Estes. The two last named reside in
Alpena, and the first is practical expert
in the business Of Dexter, Me. The
works will not be large at first, but the
capacity as business permits. 1t will
prove Of great benefit to Alpena, and will
be apt to make better market for wool,
and encourage the raising Of sheep. We
trust the enterprising men who are in
terested in the factory will meet with
success, and we certainly believe 1t will
prove paying investment.
