?klC Tl KT HICK HOSIERY ?SSS Tho 1'hmt lins Hoon (Jroatly Im proved and. Knlni'gcd. On Tuesday morning we visited the Ilotrlck Hosiery Mills and spent an hour viewing this plant, which is up-to-date in every detail. Chas. F. Hotriek took ns i ii charge and explained the work In the various departments and processes. Enter ing the holler and ong.no room wo found an Ideal power plain. An 80 hornopowcr boiler and a OT.-liorse power engine are installed, furnish ing steam tor the dye house and power for Hie machines. Modern appliances for economizing In fuel, .?"??sin and power are utilized. The /?M?jKhouso i' equipped witli IUD;].-in inrrchincs for dyeing, drying, singe ing and washing goods in the most ?.M?lent manner. lu the Unit ling room a novel and interesting sight ls presented. IL is a busy room, with nearly L'OO ma chines in operation, Knitting diff?r ent kinds and styles of hosiery, from misses' ribbed to ladles' lace goods. Hero about loo boys and girls (mostly girls) are knitting, looping, woltlng, sewing and inspecting .'goods in tho white. The absence of noise and dust and dirt is particularly noticeable. The girls In their white shirt waists present a beautiful pic ture. There ls no class or work, it seems to us, that could be eleanor and nicer for girls and'women. Tho sanitary conditions aro perfect; good light, thorough ventilation and light work. The knitting room may be aptly compared to a lady's sew ing room-with the advantage, how ever, that the power is supplied. When the whistle blows for noon, evening, and the employees leave building, it looks like a school turned out. the boys and ?iris are so frosh and clean. The finishing department ls lu charge ol' Mr. and Mrs. William St raub, who came to Walhalla over a year ago with the I bu rick brothers when they removed their plant from Philadelphia, and united it with the plant of the Oconee Kn Itt Inf Mill, with Wm. A. Hetrlck as pr. ut and Chas. 1''. Ilotrlck, secretary . ,d treasurer. The Hetrlck brothers have been in charge of tho mill now about one year, and the whole plant has been renovated and remodeled from start to finish, lt has been a diJI?cnlt task, and has required time, patience and perseverance lo estab lish the ideal conditions which ob tain to-day. Yet they are looking to the future for greater growth and development, lt ls remarkable that, coming from a great Northern city into a small Southern country town, tiley have so readily adapted them selves to their new surroundings ns they have done in '.lie short space of one year. The whole nilli has prac tically been built anew and changed on lo the linest grade of hosiery fori men. women and children dial eau! made of cotton thread. AU "tho j U ploy ees, too had to be trained 1 I w. ; We believe it is the only mill in 111 South timi is manufacturing ex te&lvely the Hues: grade ol' ladies': lao? and mercerized goods. The ca pacity is now about 700 dozen per day, although about one-half of tim; production has been obtained during tile last 'tiree months, owing to the depressed condition of business in cotton goods, whether cloth, hosiery or underwear. Hut goods are begin- < ping to move again, mid the future prospect for business is good. Hav ing their plant in line condition they ?ire prepared for a large Increase in lin' volume d' their business. And looking forward to this end. the managers of Hie mill want twice the number of girls now employed in the knitting, looping, welting, inspecting and Uni-bing rooms, lt is a mystery jf'io us why there should ever bo lack of help in those departments, the work heilig nice and Hu? pay far above the average, lt requires a lil lie time and patience to learn how lo do the work right and to vet off the lull production from the ma chines, but when the art ls once learned it ls easy. The girls now in tile mill are pleased with their work, ?ind they are making good wages, too. Several girls on the pay roll as knitters and loopers earn from $ 1,2fl to ^ per day. During the next two months the nilli ian give employment to about Ibo more girls and boys. This ls a ?Icndid opportunity for girls who rn their livelihood lo obtain nice sltloiis and make themselves in dependent. The mill owns fourteen nice houses for families ol opera tives, each house containing from lour lo six rooms, in the village, and over hall' ol' I hem are now occupied. There is room yet for ahoul a half dozen more families. There are many in the country who can im prove th? ir condition very materi ally, we believe, by moving lo Ibis village, and at the same lime afford tho girls ami boys the opportunity c>f regular work ?ii good wages. We were agreeably surprised ?il I he magnitude of ?lils industry iii our midst. One seldom has tho op portunity to visit any manufacturing plant where cleanliness, business judgment, business met hods, energy and good results are so apparent ?it every linn. The mill as a whole runs as one big machine under the control ol' one master guiding band. 'I he word "business" is Indelllbly stamped everywhere about (he place Indelllbly and plainly stamped, yoi Invisibly, The place Itself is "business." -? ? . - Corn Crower*' Association, I hereby call a meei lng of tho Oco nee Corn dowers' Association lo he bold at tho Court House on Friday, August IO, at 10 o'clock.
