INSPECTION OF THE SILK
MILL WAS SATISFACTORY
Nothing Definite will be Known
Until Negotiations Are Far
ther Advanced.

The visit of two prominent silk
manufacturers OF New York City to
Revnoldsville last week to inspect the
local silk mill caused considerable
interest in town and the Association
officials have been beseiged since with
inquiries as to the probability of the
mill operating. All that can be said at
the present time is that as far as the
mill and Reynodsville is concerned,
conditions seemed eminently satis-
factory. The visit however was simply
preliminary to entering into real
negotiations to secure the mill and
whether the firm will lease the mill
depends mainly on the terms quoted
them by the officials of the American
Silk Company.
II secured at all, it will be under a
long term lease. Some time ago the
Association officials attempted to secure
purchaser for this mill IN the same
manner in which the steel plant deal
was swung, and succeeded in interest
ing very large New York concern.
But when the concern investigated the
title to the mill they reported that
owing to the financial entanglements Of
the two companies owning it, to
mortgages affecting it and other
property, to notes and various other
liens, it would be hardly possible to
secure clear title until after the
American Silk Company had passed
through bankruptcy (which at that
time seemed imminent.) The AS
sociation then dropped all efforts to
secure an outright purchase and has
since been in correspondence with
several companies trying to interest
them in leasing proposition.
