While the building of a mill in
Beach street by the Westerly Narrow
| Fabric company, and the formation OF
| the company, meant large financial
| loss to many of the citizens who in
| vested their good money in the pro-
| ject, it has finally resulted in the eS-
| tablishment of a thriving industry in
the town. The large one-story bdick
| mill building in Beach street, and the
acres of adjoining property was pur-
chased about three years ago by the
| George w. Moore company, of WOrces-
ter, manufacturers of elastic fabric.
| The MOoreS moved to Westerly and
| commenced business on a moderate
scale, and built d handsome residence
| on the purchased property, but far re-
moved from the mill building, which
was built we'll back from Beach street.
The George w. Moore company is
now to build in front Of and adjoining
the present mill, a two-story struc-
ture of brick, 140x6O feet. This will
more than double the capacity of the
present mill and the addition is war
ranted by the steady and healthy in
crease of business.
