E. V. Mitchell Co's Hat Factory
"... At its height, the E.V. Mitchell Hat Factory was the second largest straw and felt hat factory in the country, employing over 1,000 workers─more than the population of the town itself. Workers came from as far away as Maine and Canada to work at the North Street plant." medfieldhistoricalsociety.org
