The Midland Journal. published at Rising
Sun, Cecil county, Nd, Independent Republi-
can in its issue of August 20. SAYS
''The manufacturing plant of Cambria d
Co., which was moved from Baldwin's, the
old Lords Factory near Elkton, on the
Big Ella, to Havre de Grace last spring, is
getting in shape at the latter place. The
works make table cloth-damask-mostly,
and when in full operation will give employ
ment to several hundred hands, Forty looms
are at present at work. When the works are
completed as contemplated $40 looms will be
in operation.
Cecil manufacturing establishments have
almost ceased to exist, and were it not for the
Singerly paper making business extensively
carried On at Elkton and Marley, manufac-
turing would have virtually ceased TO be an
industry in the county, The great iron Works
at North East, Rowlandyille and Westamwell
have become extinct, with little or no pros
pect of their ever again being revived. The
great Principle Furnace works have dwindled
to one forge hammer which works on scrap
iron.
