The Willardville Hosiery Mills VIII In
crease its Plant.
The Willardville Hosiery Mills, one of
the city's latest industries. is a success
in every respect.
The plant was originally located at
Willardville and started about two years
ago and has met with the greatest
success from the start. Two months
ago. 1t has met with the greatest
and the great demand for its products
continues.
The mill now employs ninety hands
and has no trouble in dsposing of it's
entire output. In fact orders amounting
to 10000 pair of half hose have had
to be turned down since it has been es-
tablished here.
The mill makes both hose and half
hose Of every weight of 81 needle grade.
Nearly the entire output of the mill
is shipped to. purchasers in the North
and West. The freight rates are against
Southern shipments. When these pro-
ducts are shipped North they are foE-
warded at fourth-class freight rate,
while on shipments South they are
placed at tirst-class rate. ITO illustrate"
said MIR. Samuel y. Ashe, Jr, one of
the owners and managers of the mill,
"a case of my goods can be shipped to
New York for 80 cents less than the
same case can be shipped to Wilmington,
\. G.
In the next three or four months the
capacity Of the mill will be doubled, and
1875 hands be employed.
Among the new machinery which will
be installed will be machines for making
the finer grades of hose and half-h)se
for home trade.
1t is gratifying to note the prosperity
of this young enterprise. 1t is just such
industries that bring prosperity.
