Three Textile Firms
With St61 Million
Assets Are Merged
BY The Asseeiotsd Press

BOSTON. Feb. 10. - Three
well-knewn textile firms-Ameri-
can Woolen. Textron, Inc, and
Robbins MiIls-were merged to-
day into one giant corporation.
Textron American, Inc.
American Woolen stockholders
ratified the merger overwhelm-
ingly yesterday, the last Of the
three concerns to agree to the
merger.
Legal details involving the
unification are expected to be
cleared away February "a. when
directors Of the new corporation
viii meet in New York.
Probable Officers.
At that time, the following
officers are expected to be
named:
Royal Little, chairman Of Tex
tron, as board chairman Of the
new corporation; Robert L. HUI
fines, president Of Textron, as
president Of the combined COM
panies, and Joseph B. Ely. presi-
dent of American Woolen, as
chairman Of the executive COM
mittee.
The new Textron American,
Inc, has aggregate assets Of $161
million, net worth Of $94 million
and working capital Of $50 mil
lion.
After the merger vote Mr.. Ely.
one-time Democratic governor
of Massachusetts,. disclosed that
while he is hopeful a large pro-
portion Of American Woolen tex
tile business in the north will be
retained. nevertheless. negotia-
tions are in progress for sale Of
II Of that company's closed mills.
OF the II, eight are in New
England, two in New York State,
at Fulton and Utica, and one
In Louisville, KY.
Ely Is Optimistic.
Mr.. Ely expressed hopes for a
projected pilot plant at Pitts
field, Me-, and possibly Winooski,
VT, and said it appeared likely
that manufacture of fancy WOOL
ems and worsteds is "going to
do pretty well" in the North.
However, he said that Tex
irons recent experience with one
of its own Northern mills-at
Machias. Me.-had given Mr..
Little reason to believe that
some Northern Operations could
be competitive with the South.
The vote of American stock
holders was announced as: More
than 50 per cent of the common
stock in favor of merger; nearly
72 per cent of the 7 per cent |
preferred in favor, and more
than rs per cent of the 81 pre-
ferred for the merger.
Six classes of stock in the
other two companies and the
more than two-thirds of Amer
ican stocks made the merger
effective.
