the manufacturers will consider the prop
osition. The new combination is known
as the American wooden company. 1t
was organized at the Waldorf Astoria
hotel in New York last week, and within
ten minutes after the papers were drawn
up $40, 200, 900 of stock had been SUBJ
scribed. The company Is organized with
capital of $50, 000,0 600 preferred stock,
with authority to increase 1t to $25 ,OO0,-
600, and common stock $50, 900 600, with
authority to increase it to 90, OOO, 900.
The mills included In this company are
| the Washington mills company, Law
renee Mass. the Riverside worsted mills,
National and Providence worsted mills,
Valley worsted mills, Pocasset worsted
company and the Victoria mills, all oil
Providence; the Saranac worsted mills,

sorbed by the general company. The
company does not include any dress goods
mills nor any yarn mills outside Of those
which are directly connected with the
