Perhaps many of our readers do not realize what a veritable hive of industry the Manning Hoisery Mill is. and when we strolled over there we realized for the first time what the mill was doing for the town of Manning. The mill at present gives employment to nearly fifty hands, and, in conversation with Mr. Mleiers. manager, we learned that a large number of machines were daily expected to augment the output. At present the output is 100 dozen hose a day, and with the additional machinery the mill will be able to turn out about 160 dozen per day. Of course, with the increase in facilities the force will be increased and an increase in force means an increase in the money to be distributed amony our tradesmen. If we had a few miore~ in dustries of a like nature, we would soon see see our town growing at a rapid pace.
