The Hickory Democrat, SI.OO a year
! Mr. Gwaltney Head of Big New York
Mills.
The following article from the
Utica, N. Y. Observer refers to
Mr. E. C. Gwaltney, .son of Mrs.
Gwaltney, of this city, who is
well known here and whose
friends will be delighted to know
of his promotion:
Superintendent George Fisk or
the New York Mills has resigned
his position and has been succeed
!ed by E. C. ' Gwaltney, for
j several months past the super
" iniendcnt of Mills 1 and 2. Mr.
; Fish will enjoy a rest before
! resuming mill work. He has no
i definite plans yet formed, but it
j is expected ihat he will move his
i family from New York Mills some
time during the summer. He
- has been head of the New York
j Miiis plant for the past two yeais
! and ha s , done splendid work for
the company. Thomas H. Con
ley, recently connected with the
Mohawk \ a.ey Cotton Milis,
succetas Mr. Gwaitney as super
intendent of Mills 1 and 2.
Mr. Gwaltney, the new general
superintendent, is a young man
well fitted by training and ex
perience tor nis position. Nine
years ago he was connected with
: the carding department of the
Shenandoa Mills in this city, and
by his efficient work won re
cognition as one of the best
superintendents in this vicinity.
After leaving the Shenandoa he
returned to his home in Winns
boro, S. C., but last November
| came here and accepted the
position of superintendent of
! Mills 1 and 2 at New York Mills.
His efficiency and affability
quickly won iiim the confidence
of the officers of the company.
His promotion to the position of
general superintendent of the
M'llsisa deserved one and his
friends will congratulate him
and wish him the best success
! possible.
Business is booming at the
New York Mills plant since the
settlement of the big textile
strike there about a month ago.
All the o'd employes and a great
many new ones are at work. Day
and nighc forces are employed
and new workmen are being
hired every day.
Thousands of dollars' worth of
new machinery have been order
ed for the mills, and it is the
purpose of the company to in
crease its working force and its
output in a larger degree. Splen
did grades of dress velvets and
corduroys are now being made
by the company, and a ready
market is obtained for these
goods in all parts of the United
States and in foreign countries.
The officers of the company
believe that the New York Mills
are entering upon an extraord
inary era of industry and pros
perity. Every effort is being
' put forth by the company to
meet this situation in a manner
that will ensure good results,
Mr. Gwaltney is fortunate in
, taking charge of the Mills at
such a time, and the officers of
the company are confident that
he will be the right man in the
right place.
