THE News have ever given serious thought
to the great inventive faculty OF The genius
who first evolved the machinery for the
spinning of yarns which enters into the
manufacture of the high class fabrics OF

this | ne no concern has been more active
or has shown more absolute perfection In
their manufactured products than the
Phoenix Spinning Co. OF this city. Ibfs
company was organized with L. >. Peck-
ham, Jr., and 4. w. Filling hast as copart-
ners in 1893, their building was 1O5x5O IT,,
but the business rapidly outgrew this ca
pacity, and recently a large wooden addi-
lion has been erected. This only temper"
arily relieved the overcrowded condition
of the plant, and the firm are now seeking
arrangements, whereby further enlarge
ment may be possible. So perfect have
the mechanics of this firm succeeded in
making the machines used, that more pro-
duct can be obtained from q smaller num-
Der of men than in any other mill OF this
kind, only % being given employment. The
company was first organized under the
name OF the Phoenix Hosiery Co., manu-
featuring amless hosiery OF all kinds,
but some weeks ago they concluded to
devote their entire business to the manu-
facture OF spinning yarns. changing the
style of the company to the Phoenix spin
ming Co. In the manufacture OF custom
spinning yarns of the hig hest grades, the

Of the most advantageous points in the

fact that the company make a speciality of
spinning their yarns OF very large cops,
instead of SINAI ones, as Is usually done
by other manufacturers this alone proving
a great saving for their customers, besides
being an unquestioned convenience. Tbs

placing their orders elsewhere.
