The mill Of the Nicely Manufactur-
inx company now stands practically
ready for business, everything being In
place except the electric motors, ana
they have been shipped. President
Moore says that with everything here'

of the most complete and perfect OF us
kind to be found anywhere. 1t Is
equipped throughout with the very pest
of machinery. and everything has been
placed just as long experience has
taught that 1t should be. And the mill
has been bought and equipped at re-
markably low cost. For instance, the
average cost Of mill floor space Is
generally figured at about 65 cents per
square foot This mill has cost only
about SO cents per square foot. Ma
chimes which cost $3.50 each are not
now to be had from the manufacturers
for less than $500. The entire machin-
cry outfit was bought on the same pa
sis. There have been numerous appli-
cations from operatives for places, ana
there Is no reason to fear any difficulty
about getting as much help as Will be
desired A sufficient number OF houses
for the operatives have been completed
A small supply Of cotton has already
been laid in. The mill, Of course, Will
be warmed by steam and this Will re-
uuire a 25-horse boiler. AS matters
now stand it Is not thought that any
steam will be needed for power.
