rili/.eu follow*. :
"Is it jaWlble that this l? the
Maine Hermitage Village that 1
inovi^ ii family to six years ago?"
The ttltove nuestlon was asked by
a truck driver who recently
moved a family to this village.
Why did lie think this was uot
the Maine village?
Several years ago a group of
mou looked' into the future and
saw bright pnjKjHM't+^-fo^ the*-matt
ufaetiuv of cotton into cloth.
A mill was organized with Ion
thousand spindles ? about thirty houses
were built a. I id o|>eratives came in from
other mills and surrounding country.
The mill was first called "Caiudeii Cot
ton Mills."
From J SIX to HK)f>, fi#*t . onv finan
cial trouble mid then another threat
ened t lie mill, culminating in a financial
crnsli in 11X15. The property was -sold
in bankruptcy.
In 1 !HJo the present Hermitage Mill
was organized with II. (J. Carrison as
president; <\ II. Yates, vice president
and secretary : and K. It. lMtts. mana
ger. In I>ecember 1U11 ^I'r. It. 11. Pitt*
took chaw n ^ president ami treasurer,
which position lie still holds.
The mill lias natural advantages that
I few mills in the State have. I/Ocated
j just a mile from Camden In a m ove
| of large pine trees. Mvitli a canal just
at its edge, the beatify Is unsurpassed.
The sanitary conditions arc good. M.
A. l'\ Hrlggf|, with his corps of work
er*. Is getting good results and benefits
are. seen everywhere from cooperation.
The Mill now has 10,040 spindles.
The homes of the uinplyees arc In good
condition ami new homes are being
built.
A splendid hasp hall foam was or
ganized and is finite a snceess? -not
only fur tho victories won. but on af?
eonnt of the elean sportsmanlike man
ner in which the hoys .play.
A good school is located at the edge
of the village, also a neat church,
swimming, tennis, volley hall, basket,
hail and indoor games at tin* Communi
t.v House aro enjoyed by all.
It is the aim of thp organfcatloa to
make the village and Mill not only at
j tractive to work in bnt also to live In.
The Hermitage Mill is fortunate ia
ImMiik owned entirely by Camden dtU

We wish to announce to the Automobile owners of Camden and vicinity that beginning August 1st, we wi
commence to operate .all transactions and sales of Gasoline, Oils, Tires, Accessories and Repair Parts and Wj
on a STRICTLY CASH BASIS. Thia^ action has become absolutely necessary on. account of disastrous 101
month after month due to failure to collect a considerable percentage of bills. This together with the si
percentage of profit derived from the sale of Gasoline and similar accessories make it impossible to conl
business on a credit basis without cutting the quality of service rendered. This we do not care to do and it
therefore to protect our good customers that this action is taken. For the information of all concerned,
publish herewith an agreement signed by all members of the
Camden Automotive Association
which will be strictly enforced in every; instance.
"We, the undersigned Garages and Filling Stations, hereby agree and pledge ourselves that
commencing August 1st, 1920, we will operate our sales of Gasoline, Oil, Tires, Accessories
and all Repair Parts and Work on a Strictly CASH BASIS, making no exception whatever to
anyone. In other words, nothing included in the above mentioned lines will be sold or allowed
to leave our places of business until it has been fully paid for in advance."
By selling for Cash Gasoline will now be sold at 34c the Gallon instead of 35c, the former price.
