The Bregon Mills. Speaking of cotton mills, one of the really wonderful things in Anderson is the Brogan Mi?s there. Most of us know the mill by name 'out as to Its. product we know nothing. Thia mill makes colored flannel outings and ginghams and other fabrics, ono of about a dozen In tho United States. Talking to a Greenwood dry goods man about tbe mill a few days ago. he I said lt bad a national reputation. It certainly turns out a magnificent lino of goods. Superintendent Causey said they had 628 distinct patterns. The mill has another distinction. It is managed and most successfully too by ono of the youngest cotton mill prcaideu'3 in the Usited St ??es, B. B. Qosoett.
