THE MINTERBURN MILLS COMPANY.
This is the youngest of the four companies comprising the Hockanum Mills Company. It occupies the old site of the Rockville Warp Mills Company, being the first plant on the Hockanum Kiver. It was incorporated in 1906, and after tearing down
the old and dilapidated buildings on the site, work was commenced on the erection of a handsome, modern concrete construction building, which is likely to stand for a generation. It is the largest mill in the city and one of the finest in New England of concrete construction.
The main building is 300 feet long by 06 feet wide, five stories high. It is equipped with the latest approved automatic sprinklers and an improved steam plant of 250-horse power has been
installed in a boiler and engine house in the rear of the main building. A chimney of concrete construction 165 feet high, in connection with the mill, is one of the sights in the east end of Rockville. No better lighted or ventilated mill, manufacturing woolen and worsted goods can be found in the country.
Opposite the main mill is the warehouse, constructed of brick, 100x45 feet, and an office building containing counting room, large vault, private office and directors' room, lighted by electricity.
The machinery is the very best money can buy. The mill is equipped with 68 broad looms and there are 4,080 spindles. Employment is given to 225 hands.
