BIG HOSIERY Mill
Will Be Under Construction At
South PittsbLrg Soon.
Preiminaries All Settled for Its Location
at MariOns Metropolis is-0ther
New Things There.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, April
THE Aycock Hosiery Mill people
have decided to locate their mammoth
plant here All. the preliminaries have
been settled and the papers drawn up,
and this industry is certainty. The
plant will have frontage on the rail
road of 500 feet, extending through an
entire block or about three acres of
land. They do not ask any stock to be
taken by local parties, and propose to
furnish all the capital. They will e.
rect at the start brick building 40x200
feet, two stories high, to be completed
by the first day of August next. The
building will cost about $40, 600, out
side of the cost of the land. In this
they will place $50, 900 worth of the
most up to date machinery. They will
start with not less than 100 people and
the plant will be increased in size from
time to time, and within few years
they expect to have the entire 500 foot
frontage covered with buildings and
machinery. This will add several
thousand dollars more to South Pitts
burg's already large pay rolls, and it
will give employment to a great many
women and girls, who otherwise would
be idle or doing drudgery work. II
will also employ considerable skilled la
Dor. Mr.. Davis, who holds large
part of the stock is connected with the
Davis Hosiery Mills and Richmond
Hosiery Mills, located at Rossville,
Ga, near Chattanooga.
Dirt will be broken within the next
fifteen or twenty days, and the worl
on the building pushed to completion.
Much of the credit for the location
of this mammoth plant here is due tt
Mayor w. Fl. Wilson, who has beer
working on this industry for more thar
a year When in full operation, thi
mill will turn out 1000 pairs of hos'
each day.
9. A. D. Faris & Co. are placing
their big boilers for their saw an(
planning mill, and will soon have tn,
brick work completed. This will b,
one of the best mills in the entir
South.
Chattanooga parties are now in tn
city looking over the prospects for
large brick yard. They say all the in
grediants required to manufactur
brick are found here, and that thei
coming is certainty.
