KNITTING MILL
IS NOW READY
COMPANY GRANTED A CHARTER
YESTERDAY-PLAN TO RUN
ON FULL TIME.

The Brunswick Knitting Mill and
Manufacturing Company is now ready
ITO begin operations in full force and
in a very short time it viii be turning
cut socks to the full capacity of the
plant.
The machinery has all been placed
in position and has been thoroughly
tested and is ready for operation. In
fact the entire plant has been at work
recently and two or three hundred
pairs of socks have been made.
In the superior court yesterday the
new company was granted charter
and during the present week an or.
ganization meeting will be held, at
which officers will be elected and eth
er matters disposed of.
! Quite a large force is now employ.
ed at the mill, but ten or twelve more
girls could be used and the manager
hopes to secure them in a few days
This industry has started out under
the brightest auspices. Those con.
nected with the enterprise are enthus-
iastic over the outlook for great sue,
cess, and the industry promises to be
one of the largest in the city. Ev.
erything at the mill is in a flourish.
Ing condition and as soon as all the
help needed is secured the plant will
be operated on full time and will turn
socks out at a rapid rate.
