| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | These mills are located at the corner of Ford and Lafayette Streets, and were established prior to the war by James Ogden for the manufacture of cotton goods. James Cresson & Co. purchased the property in 1864, when the manufacture of woolen goods was added to their former production. The head of the firm died in 1872, and during the following year the present firm was organized. The mill building is of stone, four stories in height, fifty by one hundred feet in size, with a dye-house adjoining, built in 1867. Sixty hands are employed in the establishment, producing three
hundred and eighty thousand yards of jeans in the year. The wages paid amount to about fourteen hundred and fifty dollars per month. There are two sets of forty-eight inch cards, one thousand and forty-four spindles on woolen and thirteen hundred on cotton yarn, five cards and all the requisite preparing machinery. The property is estimated to be worth fifty thousand dollars. The mill at this time is under the management of John McArthur. |
