The H. K. H. SIX Co.,, with mills in Putnam. makers of the Heminway silks and Hammond-knowlton Mach inc silks, has changed it's name to "The Heminway Silk Co." The change is one in name only, and in no way effects the sales policies. per sOnnel. branch offices or foreign rep resentatiyes. Thus is re-established the parent name of fhe organization which began with M Heminway < Sons" operating a small mill at Watertown. There, General Merritt Heminway, the founder. conceived and executed the spooling of silk thread for the first time in this coun- try. General Heminway's entrance into the silk industry came as a natural development of his work in the raising of mulberry trees and the breeding of silkwcrms. which so oc- cupied the attention of American farmers and villagers during 1880. Althoughf ths. gigantic attempt to domesticize silk culture received the support of state and national govern ments, the obstacles against 1t were so great that following the famous mulberry panic" of 1889. the at. tempts were virtually abandoned.
 In is4e. General Heminway. found. ed the firm of NJ. Heminway & Sons in Watertown. and under his guid- ance and that of his children. the house grew to be one of the most im- portant factors in the spool silk in- dustry.
