KNITTING MILL.
Merchants' Association Working on

Merchants Association Working on
Proposition Which Looks Good.
The Ellsworth Merchants association
has in hand proposition for the estab-
lishment here Of knitting mill manu-
featuring underwear.
While in Boston last week. G. L. Morang
happened to hear through business friends
Of a contemplated change in an estab-
iished knitting mill now located in Penn
sylvania. By fortunate circumstance he
was able to meet in Boston gentleman
interested in this mill, and after talking
the matter over with him induced him to
come to Ellsworth with him and look over
the situation here.
This gentleman has two SONS in the
knit underwear business in Pennsylvania.
At present they are in business together,
but it has been decided to separate the
business, one taking the underwear knit
ting business and moving to new loca-
tion.
The gentleman who visited Ellsworth
with Mr.. Morang is practical knitter
himself in fact, one of the pioneers in
the industry in this country, having been
in the business since 1884. He is of high
business standing and financial rating,
with a reputation in the trade as one OF
the best knitters in the country. His sons
have learned the business under him, and
are holding up the reputation for this
mills product estab ablished by him.
On his visit to Ellsworth he looked over
the Union shoe factory building, and pro-
nounced it most suitable for knitting
mill. He also obtained = price for cleo
trical power, and made other investiga-
tions, after which he pronounced condi-
tions here as favorable for the business.
Half the product of the mill is already
sold for two years ahead, and with an es-
tablished reputation and marEet, there is
every reason to predict that the mill
would be financial success from the
start.
The proposition involves the raising of
money as subscriptions to stock as work.
ing capital and the organization of q
company here. The plant, which is thor
oughly modern and complete, would be
moved here. The mill would employ at the
outset about fifty to seventy-five hands,
and one Of the thinga necessary, il the mill
comes to Ellsworth, is assurance OF at least
fifty girls who would be ready to 60 to
work in the mill by March next.
At q meeting OF the Merchants associ-
ton last evening, the matter was referred
to special committee consisting OF G. L.
Morang, with the standing industrial
committee, consisting Of H. B. Estey, E.
G. Moore and E. F. Small. This committee
is now busy canvassing the situation with
the view of making definite proposition
to the knitting mill people within few
days.
