The growth of what is generally
known as the Crawford plants here
has been so rapid and successful, as
to require even another addition.
But recently, an additional mill had

Pants company has the boom, and
requires an, enlargement of the
plant. To do this, the capital stock
has been increased from so to 300
shares. These three plants, now in
operation, gives employment to
about 800 persons, and Mr.. Craw-
ford contemplates making Martins
