1t was definitely reported here by the
American woolen Co, Monday. that
the worsted mill recently purchased by
the company, will be opened for bus
mess in January. 1t has not yet been
decided what the mill will turn out but
it is understood that though it starts
with worsted goods, it will eventually
became part of the woolen mill and
will turn out the same product. The
company has already begun to engage
it's help for the opening of the worst
ed mill. This mill has 80 looms and can
employ about 300 hands. The spirit of
Skowhegan people on hearing the news
quickened a great deal as the loss of
the men employed in the worsted mill
when the Wesserrunsett Co. hquidated
in the spring, hampered business a
great deal. 1t is now certain that this
building which was put up as worst
ed mill in 1908, will mean more in the
future to the town than ever before.
The mill has heretofore manufactured
4 fine grade of wcrsted cloth for mems
suitings. The weekly pay roll when the
mill was running at a normal rate, was
s2500 and the new business is not ex
pected to be less.
