This gentleman, Mr.. John c. God
ding, who is enjoying the peaceful
autumn of life at his home on High
holborn street, passed 60 years of his
life in the paper mills of Gardiner
and, one might say. grew up in them,
from the time he was 10 years old.
| 1t is interesting to listen to his
| stories of the past history, not only of
| the mill, but Of the town. Although Sc
years of age, time has dealt gently
| with him, and his eye is as bright and
intellect as clear as if he were much
younger.
In telling the Journal Of the first mill
he began by saying that the whole ter
ritory that now constitutes the busy
portion of the city known as the New
Mills, was woods, but few houses hav-
ing been built at that time.
The original mill was built at about
the same time that he was born, and
was burned within a few months OF
the time of its erection, but the second
mill he distinctly remembers, as it was
in that mill that he began to earn his
daily bread
The mill was wooden building, and
was known as a two-vat mill. This
seemed to be the standard by which
the capacity Of paper mills were
gagged in those days. The watts were
not as symmetrical in shape as those
Of today. but were made of plank. and
the only attempt at an oval shape was
made by inserting blocks inside to givea
curve TO the square corners.
At first hand dasher was used in
the vat. but afterward was succeeded
by the cylinder called a hog" with
wheel to turn it. The vat with its hog
really was crude form of those in
use today. The same may be said OF
the heater engine and washers, but
here the similarity ended. AT first the
stock was washed and beaten in one
engine.
After the stock had been cleansed
and beaten. it was dumped into chest.
and was then ready for the mold. This
chest would hold about four engines full
Of pulp. The production u the mill
was measured by posts. \ post was

Gardiner for the past 81 years-almost
within hailinS distance of a century.
The history of paper making in
America dates from the year 1890
when a mill was built at Roxborourb
Penn, by one William Rittenhuysen, a
native of Holland. Another mill was
built at Germantown, Penn, in 171O. bv
man named De Wees. In 1928 an act
was passed by the general court of
Massachusetts to encourage the manu-
facture of paper in New England and
a patent granted to party of five for
the sole manufacture of paper for 10
years. As a result of these proceedings
a small mill was built on the Neponset
river, in the town of Dorchester.-now
Milton-near the lower bridge. This
was the beginning of paper making in
New England.
The first paper mill in Maine was
built at Falmouth, on the lower falls of
the Presumpscot river. by Samuel
Waldo. a merchant of Boston, and was
followed in 1888 by another mill at
Stroudwater. also in Falmouth, by Col.
Thomas Westbrook. This mill was
built on a small stream known as
StroudWater river, which ran through
Colonel Westbrook's farm.
Although nearly so years elapsed
from the date of erection of the two
mills mentioned above before a mill
was built at Gardiner, yet to the latter
belonged the distinction of being the
third paper mill to be built in the State
of Maine.
This first mill at Gardiner was built
either in 1911 or 1872, by Robert H.
Gardiner and John Savels. Mr.. Gar
diner was a grandson of DR.. Sylvester
Gardiner, the founder of the city, and
inherited from him a large tract of
landed property, coming into posses
sion of it when he was but five years
of age.
Mr.. Gardiner graduated from Har
ward College in 1901, and in 1903 came
to Gardiner to live. He was a man of
enterprising spirit, and realizing the
magnificent water power that was go
ing to waste on the CobbOssee stream,
resolved to utilize part of it by the
erection of a paper mill. n few years
later he visited the mills at Milton,
Mass, to see how the work of paper
making was conducted, and while there
met and made an arrangement with
John Savels, who had learned the
trade in the Milton mill, to come to
Gardiner. William Sumner, the owner
Of the mill at Milton. was an uncle to
Mr.. Savels, and also to Senator Charles
Sumner. Mr.. Savcls was great grand
father to the writer of this article.
Mr.. Savels came to Gardiner in 1911
or Il, and formed partnership with

lingsworth & Whitney" The follow
ing year the firm bought dams No 4
and 5, with land and privileges, of the
Gardiner estate, and in 1880 began the
erection of a pulp mill on dam No. 4,
which mill was completed in the spring
OF 1881. The mill was called the Aroos-
took MILL 1t had but short career,
for it was burned when it had been in
but a few weeks. 1t was re-
built at once and was started again the
same fall. In April, 1888. it was shut
down and changed over into a paper
mill, being operated as such until 1886.
when it was again closed to allow an
and extensive repairs.
Work was resumed in August of the

years by the above company.
In November, 1868, Chas. Swift was
succeeded as agent by Mr.. Henry E.
Merriam, who has since continued in
the office. When Mr. Merriam came,
three-fourths the stock of the COM
pany was owned in Gardiner, and the
balance in Boston. In 1867 the mill
was bought by S. d. Warren & Co.
AT that time the equipment of the
mill was an S4-inch machine, with a
capacity of two tons Of paper daily.
The capacity of the same machine now
would be four or five times that
In 1873 extensive alterations were
made on the mill, and in 1884 a new

firm, was conducted very successfully,
and paid dividend of 20 per cent, but
Moore, Springer & Co. run the capital
all out in less than seven years.
After disposing of his interest in the
Gardiner mill, Mr. Cox formed a part
nership with Calvin Spaulding of Hal
lowell, and Glazier, Masters & Co., Of
the same town, under the firm name OF
Geo. Cox & Co." and built n paper
mill on Seven Mile brook at Vassal-
boro. The mill was burned in 1S4S, and
never rebuilt
In 1886 Francis Richards, a son-in-
law of Mr.. Gardiner, and Henry B.
Hoskins formed a partnership and
built new mill of brick on the site of
