Rutherford County to Get Large New
Textile Bill.
Riitherfordton, N. C, Dec. 28.
Rutherford County will probably get
a large textile mill which is to be
erected in the South by the Appleton
Mill, of Lowell, Mass., ( according to
rer.aoie inrorauon received -nero.
The Appletnn Mills is one of the"
largest manufacturing enterprises in
the New England States, antimatter
careful study of the conditions in va
rious parts of New England and itf xhe
South, have decided1 that It is- advis
able to make further expenditures or
the enlargement of plant, which for
the manufacture of certain lines of
goods which it is unable to carry on
at Its Lowell mill, must seek the
Southern field, where advantageous
freight rate, coat of coal and labor
and less hampering restrictions with
respect to hours of operation and lower
taxes will afford distinct advantages
over - operating in New England.
It is understood in this connection
that the Appleton Mills, in addition
to Its control of the Florence mills,
of Forest City, together wjtli its asso
ciates, also constitutes tne .arge sell
ing agency known as Catlin and Com
pany, of New York City.
