ONLY MILL .OF ITS KIND IN WORLD \
NOW OPERATING IN KINGS MOUNTAIN
-A
Lynch Buys
The Herald
I w sh to announce that I have sold the Herald Publishing House
wi.h the Kings Mountain Herald to Mr. Haywood E. Lynch who has been
operating the business under lease since January. Mr. Lynch expected
from the first to buy the paper and business if after trying it out he
liked the town and the prospects. He has been more than pleased with
the fine patronage the people have given him and the royal welcome
he and his family nave received fr m the people.
As in the beginning of Mr. Ly ch's residence in the town I want to
again commend h.m and his good wife to the .earnest consideration
and patronage of the good old town of Kings Mountain. I say “Good old
town" advisedly. My reasons are good. I visit all the towns in North
Carolina east of Greensboro several times a year. Many towns in Vir
ginia come under rny observation and I occasionally cover all of South
Carolina. And in all my travels I find no other town that surpasses!
Kings Mountain. There comes nearer being every store building and res I
idence occupied in Kings Mountain all the time than any other town!
that I see. And the people of Kings Mountain are unsurpassed in civicj
pride and religious life.
Mr. and Mrs. Lynch are young and industrious as well as ambitious
to forge ahead and make their best contribution to the growth and de
velopment of the town and county and I bespeak for them the same
fine loyal support you always gave me and have started out giving
them. A good newspaper is an absolute necessity to the growth of any
community but a man cannot pr: duce it and board himself. Blessing-,
upon you all.

FABRICS, Inc., NOW IN
OPERATION
. - \
j Kings Mountain now has auolher
mtll added to its already long list.
Fabrics, Inc., as the new mill is call
ed is owned by Messrs Gene, Paul
Joe and Hunter Neisler and A. U
Hill. Fabrics, Inc., is located near
the Victory Gin t'o., and manufac
ture rugs, mops, and vara from
which rugs can be crocheted.
The history of this mill dates bade
to 18 years ago when Mr. A. L. Hill
saw what beautiful and lasting rugs
could be made from loops from the
toes of stockings. The loops had to
be looped together by hand which
was a very slow process. Mr. Hill
decided that a machine could be
made to do this work And so after
years of work and study Mr. Hill
has perfected a machine that will do
this work. Six of these machines are
now installed at Fabrics, Inc., and
more will be added later as the de
mand for the finished products in
creases.
Patents for this machine have
been issued lc Fabrics. Inc., from
tlie U, S. Patent office at Washing
ton, 1). C. This is the only patent
that has ever been applied for a
machine of this kind.
The experimental stage of the past
twelve months of Fabrics, Inc., has
passed and now they are ready to
start production. A number have al
ready been employed running the
looping machines, wrapping and
parking the skeins of yarn.
The rugs are made in a variety of
patterns and colors. The colors are
fast. Mr. Hill in speaking of the
nigs, laughingly said, “The only
thing wrong with these rugs from
a manufacturer's standpoint is that
they last too long, they just will not
wear out."
The yarn for hand making ruse
are put up in 8 oz.' packages in 23
different colors.
The looper machine invented by
Mr. Hill will loop 1.350 yards of
yarn each hour. One man by hand
can only loop about 00 yards per
hour. One man can operate five ma
chines. Accordingly one man with
this machine can turn out as much
work as 70 men can by hand.
Mr. P. D. Herndon is connected
with Fabrics, Inc., as manager in
charge of production.
Quite a coincidence of the an
nouncement of Fabrics, Inc., is the
fact that 20 years ago this week Mr.
O. E. Neisler announced the erection
of a new mill for Kings Mountain.
The Herald wishes to congratulate
the men behind this new enterprise
of Kings Mountain. We go forward
in the Best Town In The State.
