CHANGES AT THORNLEYS
Overall Department Moved to Dover in
Charge of W. c. Mcdowell.

OndTge OF w. y. MCDOWELL.
Important changes are being
made at Thornley's factory to make
room for larger output of nainsook
underwear for the De marvia Manu-
featuring Co. The overall depart
ment, which for years has been con-
quoted with success by Mr.. Thorn
ley, has been moved to Dover and a
special factory installed at that
place for the purpose of manufact-
uring Overalls only. This branch
plant will be under the management
of William c. Mcdowell, who had
charge of the department in Smyrna.
The building vacated here is being
converted into an underwear factory
which, by other additions, will
become an enlarged plant of the
DelmarVia Manufacturing Company,
giving more employment to home
labor and increasing the output of
the plant materially. This worthy
industry, which is doing so much
for Smyrna, pays out thousands of
dollars annually to home labor,
nearly all of which is spent right in
Smyrna. Nainsook underwear man.
ufacturing makes nice work for the
women of Smyrna and vicinity and
with the additional building room
and machinery, will open a wide op-
portunity to all concerned. Mr..
Thornley, is being congratulated on
his enterprise.

feet from the woods where the camp
is being held. Several crap games
