RIVERSIDE wooLEN MILLS.

The only mill in Stafford Hollow is that of the Riverside Woolen Mills, which in general equipment and archi- tectural beauty surpasses any industrial plant in this vicinity. It is owned ex- clusively by William Park, one of the most prominent woolen manufacturers in this country. It was built in 1881 by Cyril Johnson and B. c. Pinney, and was at that time run in connection with the Central Woolen Company in Stafford Springs.
 In January, 1906, MT. Park bought the property and has since devoted it to the manufacture of fancy suitings and dress goods. He employs no hands, and has an equipment of forty looms, seven sets of cards and $500 spindles.
 The main building is of brick, four stories high, and 115x56 feet. A dye house, 4Ox30, is connected, and there are two large storehouses. The mill is being run at full capacity all the time, and does an annual volume of business that reaches $350,000.
 MT. Park has greatly increased the capacity since he assumed control four years ago. He has made speciality of distinctive styles and weaves, and his product is disposed of through the agency of Messrs. Birch 6 Joel, Nos. 3-5 West 18th Street, New York City.
 Mr. Park makes his home in Stafford Hollow, on an eminence overlooking the mill. He is a member of the Masonic bodies, and is treasurer of the Carded

JACOB GLOVER & SON.

The days of the slowly grinding, water-power grain mill have long since passed for the residents of Stafford, since Jacob Glover & Son installed their big 2O-horsepower engine and attached it to their grinding machinery. Now, no matter how many farmers come to the mill, or how big their loads of grain, Jacob Glover & Son can turn it into meal almost before they can say "Jack Robinson.'
 With their big engine and their grind ing machinery they now have a capacity of 1,600 pounds of meal an hour.
 But this is not all of their business. In the store adjoining the gristmill the firm has a fine assortment of stoves, ranges, hardware, crockery, etc., which they sell at retail. It is the only store of the kind in this part of the town, and keeps three men busy in attending to the needs of customers.
 Jacob Glover is Mason, and mem Der of the school committee of the town. His son, Fred Glover, was for merly one of the board of selectmen, and is trustee of the Universalist Church.

Partial Front View of Cyril Johnson Mill.

story granite structure of plain but eff fective architecture, was originally used as a cotton mill. It was built in 1841, and at the time of the great flood was submerged to the level of the second floor, but successfully withstood the rush of waters.
 In the past few years a number of extensive additions have been made to It. The big finishing room, the weave room, sorting room and storehouse have all been added, and these sub stantial stone and brick buildings are provided, with modern machinery and thoroughly equipped for the manufac- ture of high-grade kerseys, meltons, cassimeres, cloakings, coverts and other woolen fabrics.
 MT. Johnson's peculiar genius in di- recting the policy of his mills has made him successful where others would have failed. During the long depression which began in 1893 and lasted until 1897, his mills were the only ones in his vicinity which were not shut down for protracted period, and during the entire hard times the wages of none of his employees were lowered, but were maintained as they were during the highly prosperous years of 1891 and 1892. His relations with his employees have always been of the most cordial

CYRIL JOHNSON.

No finer example of the self-made man can be shown than that of Cyril John son, the veteran woolen manufacturer of Stafford, and who is now sole owner of one of the most widely known, also the most prosperous, woolen mills in New England. MT. Johnson has also a large and prosperous manufacturing plant in Irvington, New Jersey, which manufactures toilet articles and drug gists' supplies, and which is known as the Jennings Silver Company.
 Born in West Stafford, Conn.,, Dec. r, 1882. His early education was ob tained entirely in the schools of his native town, which education, though limited, was used very advantageously as shown by his great business successes in later years. He comes of Scotch ancestry and is the son of Cyril and Clarissa (McKinney) Johnson.
 Mr. Johnson s woolen mill training began at the age of sixteen years, beginning with his apprenticeship in the card room of the then Staffordville

A. l.. HOWARD.

Little by little, A. L. Howard has been extending his dry goods store on East Main Street, until he now has one of the largest stores in town and as fine an assortment as can be found in any city.
 He has recently secured large space at the rear of his original store and has converted this into storeroom, thus relieving the salesroom and providing extra space for the display of dress goods, dry goods of all kinds, fancy articles, notions, etc. In this store a lady may be fitted from top to toe without difficulty, as his stock of goods is complete and in all sizes. Quality counts for everything with MT. Howard, who has an unusual assortment in all the lines, and makes an especially at tractive window display.
 MT. Howard keeps four young ladies busy all day in attending to the wants of his patrons. He carries an excep- tional line of fancy waists and wrap pers, and offers unusual bargains in petticoats and skirts.
 A veteran of the Civil War, MT. Howard is member of the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic, and makes his home on Westford Avenue.

nature, and he has their sincere respect and affection. This is but deserved tribute from his employees to the very rare ability required to profitably con- duct such large enterprises through years when competing mills, under less capable management, fail and close down, throwing their employees out of employment, while those of MT. John son s mills continue to receive the same generous wages as were paid during prosperous years.
 The product of MT. Johnson s mills is widely and favorably known, and the success which has been attained is di- rectly attributable to MT. Johnson s capable and intelligent management. The product of the present company is sold direct to the trade through New York selling agents, and the output of which for the last year reached figure close to one-half million dollars.
 In addition to his supervision of the Central Woolen Company he was per suaded to accept the presidency of the Warren Woolen Company, at Stafford Springs, and in the reorganization of this company, his advice and business
The Press., 1910-04-27

resolutely refused to accept political honors. He is a member of the Home Market Club of Boston, and loyal de- fender of protection and the doctrines of the Republican party. He is also president and director of the First National Bank of Stafford Springs.
 Already eight years beyond the ':three score and ten years '" of the prophet, MT. Johnson is as active as are most men of half his age. His genial manner, sympathetic nature, generous disposition, frank and businesslike methods make him unusually esteemed by all who have the privilege of his acquaintance. He is especially beloved by the many young men to whom his guidance and assistance have been of lasting benefit.
 MT. Johnson was married May 21, 1857, to Julia C., daughter of Daniel Pinney, of Stafford. Their hospitable and attractive home is located at Staf- ford Hollow. Both MT. and Mrs. John son are greatly interested in the Staf- ford Public Library, which building was presented by Mrs. Johnson to the Library Association.

STAFFORD STEAM LAUNDRY.

Conditions in the laundry business have changed so materially of late years that the laundryman must be up and doing to keep pace with the times. The Stafford Steam Laundry, however, is ahead of the times and is coping with present conditions easily and quickly.
 The system of wet-wash work has re- gently developed to such an extent that Peter Reynolds, proprietor of this laun- dry, has found it advisable to put in extra facilities and cater largely to this work.
 He has recently placed in the laundry, which is well located on Main Street, new and improved mangle and enlarged his space for roughdrying the clothes. He makes a speciality of hotel and restau- rant work, and that for private families. By careful washing, painstaking effort and the absence of chemicals, MT. Key holds has given to his steam laundry an excellent reputation for honest work. He employs three assistants at this sea- son of the year, but as Summer ap- breaches will increase his force to meet the demands

Woolen Company, remaining there for six months, after which time he ac- eepted a position in the Fox Mill, at FOxville, also of this same town He worked there for period of two years, after which period he was recalled to the Staffordville Woolen Co.,, his pre- vious good record causing his recall. On his return to this concern he entered the finishing department and in re- markedly short time was promoted to the head of this department.
 In 1870 MT. Johnson became part owner and superintendent of the Phoenix Woolen Mill at Hydeville. After eleven years of successful busi- ness experience at Hydeville, he, with others, organized, in 1881, the River side Woolen Company at Stafford Hol- low. Within a year he was elected president and agent of the company, which offices he continued to hold until the year 1888, in which year he was the leading spirit in the organization of the Central Woolen Company, and con- tinued as president of same until April,
