MONTESANO MILL LEASED
New Corporation Takes Over the
Syverson Plant. and Will Soon
Begin Operations

MONTESANO, June S-The Syver
son lumber mill. the large local
plant that has been idle for a number
OF months was leased on Monday by
Receiver T F. Wilcox to the Empire
Mill Company, a new corporation that
was organized 10 take over and oper-
ate the plant. The new company is
making preparations to open the mill
about July i and will employ be.
tween fifty and seventy-five men.
The Empire Mill company filed ar
ticles of incorporation in the office
Of the county auditor on Monday of
this week. The directors are G.. A.
Ohm, of Tacoma. J. E Culver, OF Los
Angeles, Cal, and H. A. Culver. Of
Tacoma. The company is capitalized
at 100000.
The mill will probably not be open
ed at full capacity at first, but will in
short time be working a full crew.
1t is thought that the opening of the
Syverson mill presages the settlement
of the legal difficulties surrounding
the Ninemire mill and that it will al
so be in operation within few
months.

In an interesting history Of pins
just published under the title of Pins
and Pincushions," one learns that
there was actually no factory in Eng
land for the manufacture OF pins until
1925. Up TO that period supplies all
came from abroad. But having estab-
lished itself the industry has flourish
ed and now the English pin is re-
garded as the best the world pro-
duces. Another interesting fact CLEAN
ed from this book Is that the fancy
box into which we now put pins can
boast OF more ancient lineage than
the pincushion.
II was somewhere about Queen
Elizabeth's time that the pincushion
came into vogue. Then II was a posi-
tive thing of beauty adorned with ex
quisite needlework and painting. II
was in early Victorian days that the
pincushion cult reached its zenith. We
now prefer the fancy box as a recep
tacle for our varied assortment oil
pins.
