W0RSTED MILL READY.
VIII Start About the Middle Of Nav
with One I! undrcd Hands.

BY the middle Of May, men of Scran-
ton will be able to wear suits made
from cloth of our own manufacture.
AT least so said the members of the
Taylor Worsted company at the meet
ing held yesterday for final organiza-
ton. The 75x125 plant located in Tay-
lor is about completed, the machinery
is being put into place, expert weavers
from England and New England have
been engaged and a S50,000 order Sc
cured as the first contract
There is no question, the company
contends, but that it can manufac-
ture goods equal to the best English
make and at much smaller cost, and
with the cheap fuel and water that this
region affords, there is little question
but that the New England factories
can be successfully competed with.
The mill will occupy one hundred
hands at first and the company hopes
that its business will grow to such an
extent that this number will be quad
rupled before many years.
The officers of the company are: p.
Mulherin, PRESIDENT r. +. Jordan, vice
president; j. p. Law, secretary; NJ. c.
Judge, treasurer; George b. Jermyn,
p z. Jordan, II. Renard, J. NJ. Rhodes
