The entire first floor of the mill is de-
voted to weaving machinery. 1t again
reminds n of magic to see the shut
ties moving back and forth at the rate
of 800 feet per minute, the different
colored threads dropping into their
proper places in the patterns, and the
automatic and complicated mechanism
of the looms. At this point the report
er was introduced to the genial, gray
headed Scotchman who has charge Of
the works, and had some of the inter-
esting mechanism If a fancy loom ex-
planned by one of the best mechanics
in the country. \.
A trip to the basement was taken to
follow the cloth in it's course through
the numerous strange machines re-
quired to give the finished product it's
softncss and finish; followed by q
peep into the dye-house, where great
steaming watts OF different colors are
always in use.
The top floor Of the room is used for
storage Of the thousands of. sacks OF
wool, which come from nearly every
p~Ostoffice in the Northwest. In one
part Of this floor Is the space reserved
| where the c0mpany's important line
of underwear and shirts is made up.
The company makes its principal bus
mess wool exchange and custom work
direct with it's consumers, and receives
annually shipments of wool from thous-
ands Of farmers and sheep-owners in
the Northwest, who send their wool to
the mills to be exchanged or made up.
Almost everything in wooden goods Ia
made at the Grand Forks Wo0len
Mills. including yarns, nanuels, blank
cts, mackinaws, tweeds, cassimeres,
skirts, head and shoulder-shawls, IN
derwear, shirts, mackinaw jackets,
etc. Another speciality which the COM
pany has successfully developed is the
making up Of tailor-made suits, and
during the season a large force Of TAIL
ors is employed on this work.
Not only Grand Forks, but the state
and the Northwest, may well feel proud
Of the building up Of 80 extensive q
home industry as the Grand Forks
Wooden Mills.
