INCREASE or 400 PER CENT.
 IN TWO YEARS PRODUCTION
Surprising Prosperity of KiIingiy Manufacturing company's Plant.


 The surprising increase of 400 per cent, in production during the past two years is announced in a special report on the growth of the kilIingly Manufacturing company, at Williams vile, by Agent Robert W. Boys, to the ofnciaIs of the company at Akron, o.
 It was stated at the mill Monday that the capacity of the plant will have been reached when the machin- cry, of various kinds, now being in- stalled there, is in operation. In prac- -ncally every department men are en- gagged in setting up machinery. The mill now gives employment to 400, several of it's departments being run day and night. The production has reached approximately 100, 600 pounds Q week.
 Since the Killingly company took over the plant it has been entirely re- equipped. Practically all of its ma eh1ness which are of the very latest type, are electrically driven, many of them by individual motors The plant as it is today is revelation to those who knew it of old, and it is recog- nized in manufacturing circles as one of the model mills of southern New England. It has been renovated from top to bottom. Its machinery is of the very best and the plant is pro- fabric.
 Having reached to the production capacity of the mill, Agent Boys has now taken up with the officials of the company the matter of erecting a yarn mill. The plant produces less than 50 per cent. of the yarn it uses, the remainder being purchased from other mills This new plant seems certain at an early date The work of improvement now being done at the plant includes the com plete re-equipment of the power plant. Two old boilers have been replaced with ne woneS and two more old ones are to give place to another new pair. A steel stack 135 feet in height is be- ing erected near the boiler house to replace brick one that has done ser- vice for years.
