INQUIRIES All inquiries by mail, telephone, cable or otherwise must be made at the office of J. E. Conant & Co. (Auctioneers), Lowell, Massachusetts. 6 There is much reason to believe that the real estate and power plant of several of the Ashley & Bailey properties if separated from the equipment are in demand for other manufactur- ing purposes than as at present used. Several prospective purchasers for one or the other of these manufacturing realties have felt that the fact that they were full of equipment—that would be of no use to them—made their purchase insurmountable. Under these circumstances it may not be considered an act of presumption upon the part of the Auctioneers to state that from any experience they have had in the dis- posal of mill equipment in the last twenty or thirty years in seventeen different states of this country, there is every reason to believe that the machinery, mechanical equipment, etc., etc., at either of the plants of The Ashley & Bailey Company if properly managed, handled, and pledged at an absolute auction sale to the highest bona fide bidders—in lots to suit pur- chasers—within sixty days of the sale of the plant, could be advantageously sold and would yield a substantial sum of money.

All inquiries by mail, telephone, cable, or otherwise should be made at the office of The five plants in New Jersey, the four plants in Pennsylvania, and the one plant in North Carolina, are all in operation—will be con- tinued in operation—and will undoubtedly be turned over to the purchaser in operation; The Ashley & Bailey Company, however, reserve the right to have completed all the merchandise in process at the time of the taking of each prop- erty by deed by the purchaser; The Ashley & Bailey Company agree in lieu of this reserva- tion to pay the purchaser of each plant a stipu- lated price per pound or per yard for all the merchandise in process that is thus completed. Following the decision of The Ashley & Bailey Company upon voluntary liquidation and retirement from business and the disposal of their manufacturing properties at unrestricted public sale they determined not to close down any of the plants until after the day of sale— at least. Not to close down meant—so far as possible—the preservation intact of the organi- zation of each plant. The reservation of the right to have completed the merchandise in pro- cess at the time of the passing of the deed to each plant must mean a lot to the purchaser of each plant for the simple reason that it will keep his mill and its organization at work—un- der pay—while he is preparing and making ready for his own manufactures. IMPORTANT INFORMATION . FIRST GROUP The business was started in the early seventies by Dwight Ashley, Sr., and Peter Bailey with an equipment of three hand looms. In a period of forty years the business has grown from the operation of three hand looms by Mr. Bailey in the room of a dwelling house to the operation of more than 2700 power looms in seven modern widely separated plants in three different states of the country pay- ing 2500 busy employees. From a simple hand woven fabric—made from pur- chased thread—to taking the silk in its raw state, converting it into a finished product and handing it to the merchant ready for his counter is the story. This means that The Ashley & Bailey Company take the raw material as it comes from Japan, China and Italy, throw the silk, dye the skein, wind into thread, warp, weave, finish, and fold or block—as the fabric may be piece goods or ribbon. The organiza- tion known as The Ashley & Bailey Company is a most complete one whether from the standpoint of ten different independent and distinct manufacturing plants or as one great manufacturing property. Above all things these ten separate in- dustries or this one big business aggregation is well balanced and has had a per- fectly natural growth and now at its ripe maturity it is a far cry to three hand looms. There is but one reason for it all—intelligent and conservative manage- ment, strict attention to business, manufacturing the right merchandise at all times, the keeping right up to the minute in equipment and attachments, treating every- body honorably, able to stand behind the goods manufactured, and paying one hundred cents on the dollar. An asset that is only lasting when established by a policy as just set forth, hence a repute of inestimable value to the purchaser of either plant. A voluntary liquidation and retirement from a successful business is not a common thing, to say the least, even in these days of decisive movement in business. The Ashley & Bailey Company have only recently reached the height of their prosperity; the organization of the ten independent plants are practically intact, that they are to be sold without limit or reserve to the highest bona fide bidders under these circumstances is certainly a most exceptional transaction. The whole conception and scheme of the Ashley & Bailey business is rational, founded upon intelligence and experience, worked out with a forethought and con- servative business acumen to a successful and profitable result. Be ES BO -84 Ee oS The location for each Ashley & Bailey plant was wisely chosen, after mature consideration, constantly having in mind only those factors that alone could prove the wisdom of the selection of the site for a textile manufacturing plant. Not to have one’s eggs all in one basket but to have them in several baskets so perfectly distributed that an egg is never Lost, Strayed or Stolen—in other words:—that the location, surroundings, environment, and immediate conditions of each plant were such that its operation was independent of and not dependent upon what might be locally disturbing at either or all of the other plants. ook ok ok os In seeking out the location for each Ashley & Bailey plant—not a site was accepted or its ownership taken up—until it was shown and proven that the labor for its successful and constant operation was there—and permanently there— anxiously awaiting opportunity for the right kind of regular textile employment. In placing the buildings upon each lot the first consideration was the best and most advantageous position—then the room for future growth. AL IMPORTANT INFORMATION SECOND GROUP The organization built up, developed and matured by The Ashley & Bailey Com- pany is a great asset in any industry; the capabilities of this organization are equal to any demand that may be made upon it; the resourcefulness of this organiza- tion will be hard for any manufacturer to fully realize who has not been equally successful in the same work—that this organization is practically intact, that the plants are in operation, that the Company is behind in its orders, is all to the value of the property. This great value can be handed over to the purchaser of each property. Pao tuho fa ao bo The five plants in New Jersey, the four plants in Pennsylvania, and the one plant in North Carolina are all in operation—will be continued in operation—and will undoubtedly be turned over to the purchaser in operation; The Ashley & Bailey Company, however, reserve the right to have completed all the merchandise in pro- cess at the time of the taking over of each property by deed by the purchaser; The Ashley & Bailey Company agree in lieu of this reservation to pay the purchaser of each plant a stipulated price per pound or per yard for all the merchandise in process thus completed. ck Se se Sb ee Following the decision of The Ashley & Bailey Company upon voluntary liquidation and retirement from business and the disposal of their manufacturing properties at unrestricted public sale they determined not to close down any of the plants until after the day of sale—at least. Not to close down meant—so far as possible—the preservation intact of the organization of each plant. The reserva- tion of the right to have completed the merchandise in process at the time of the pass- ing of the deed to each plant must mean a lot to the purchaser of each plant for the simple reason that it will keep his mill and is organization at work—under pay— while he is preparing and making ready for his own manufactures. *k KR Kk KOK All supplies, repairs, replacements, etc., etc., etc., etc., connected with the opera- tion of each plant—and necessary to the operation of each plant—-and upon the respective premises the day of the sale will be included with the sale of the respective plants—unless specifically reserved at the time of sale; all finished product, mer- chandise in process, raw material, books and records of the company necessary in the closing of the affairs of The Ashley & Bailey Company, are specifically reserved from the sale of each plant. The Ashley & Bailey Company are one of the few owners of silk weaving mill properties that dye and finish their own product; from the very start the growth of The Ashley & Bailey business has been gradual and substantial and the product covered the entire range of fancy, plain, and staple goods. % ck ok ck kok The manufactures of the Ashley & Bailey Mills are conceded by ‘““‘THE TRADE” and the interested public to be the equal of the manufactures of any American silk mills both in the class of the work and the product per loom; the seven mills in the order of their completion have been unqualified successes; the oldest plant as the properties stand today is not twenty years of age although the business has been in existence some forty years, the original plants for one reason or another have been re-built and re-equipped. The product of the mills has been dress goods, ribbons, linings, shirtings, handkerchiefs, etc., etc., etc., etc.; no consistent demand upon the plant has ever been turned away; gold medals have been awarded the firm from Expositions for the “EXCELLENCY OF MANUFACTURE,” for “BEAUTY AND LUSTRE OF FINISH;” the product is well known and has the credit of standard repute from the Atlantic to the Pacific; the company has always distributed its own goods from its own New York City store now located at No. 109 Spring Sreet; with the exception possibly of a half dozen American Silk Industries there are none that have been established longer than have Ashley & Bailey—the product of none stand higher. IMPORTANT INFORMATION THIRD GROUP The equipment of the Ashley & Bailey Mills can be used not only for the manufacture of silk but in the main for fancy cottons, ginghams, etc., etc., etc., etc. CR i SS The buildings in every instance are modern structures erected after approved plans; the plans of the buildings before erection were submitted to the Associated Mutual Insurance Companies for approval; there is not a building of any size or importance, in the ten plants, that is 20 years old; one of the great features of the buildings—if not the greatest feature—is the extreme cleanliness, tidiness, and condition of repair, of every manufacturing room; the bright white walls, the white ceilings, large window openings, and the distance from floor to ceiling of every room; open space surrounding each building, and the shape of each building; until the several buildings have been inspected a full realization of the abundance of natural unobstructed light within the walls of every floor will be hard to realize; outside walls of buildings facing each other—both widely separated—are white; many of the buildings extend from street to street, hence have unobstructed ends. Ci SE i SE As to the equipment of the Dye House Plant, why nothing could be of a later type or better in character. The finishing equipment is also of late type and is equal to the finishing of any product of the industry. The warping equipment if purchased new today would not excel the warping equipment already installed. The winding, the quilling, and the spinning is up to date both from the stand- point of equipment and from the standpoint of production. The ribbon looms are high speed, of standard type, and late date—manufactured by the best builders. All the looms at the several mills are standard, a good percentage of them are new, all the box looms are of late type, many of the loom frames have been retained for new equipment—this is particularly true of the plain looms; 260 looms have recently been widened out to make from 36 to 40 in. goods; the re-building and the re-equipping of the looms has been done upon the premises—the model for this work being in the machine shop at the Broad Silk Plant (Lot One). 13 The equipment of the plants of The Ashley & Bailey Company is up to every requirement and every necessity of the business; the experience of many years in successful manufacture at minimum cost has made the selection of the equipment for each mill just as it stands today; in other words each equipment at each plant is the result of forty years experience in successful manufacture; the beauty of this statement is its wholesome strength and truthfulness in connection with the repute of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures; a very noticeable feature at each plant is its extreme cleanliness, noticeable tidiness, and the first class condition of everything— inside and out. Ce I a Ss Where specific counts are given of supplies, repairs, replacements,, attach- ments, etc,, etc., etc., etc., etc., these counts were made at the time of the dic- tation for this catalogue; as the mills are in operation these counts are-very liable to change—one way or the other—from time to time. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOURTH GROUP The business started as a firm comprising Dwight Ashley, Sr. and Peter Bailey in the early seventies—before the introduction of the power silk loom; The Ashley & Bailey Company was incorporated in 1894; has grown from three hand looms to 2700 power looms; from a single room in a dwelling house to seven distinct and separate plants—in three states—553 miles between the most northerly and the most southerly property; from the hand weaving of a single fabric to the power weav- ing of all types of silk fabrics demanded by the channels of trade; from a business _ of very much less than $5000. a year to a business exceeding $3,500,000. per year; this growth has been well within the resources created by the premises of The Ashley & Bailey Company. The ten splendid Ashley & Bailey manufacturing properties are perfectly situated in rare locations for female help; in several instances in rare locations for male help; because of these facts—with a single exception—the localities are free from labor agitation; in several instances the Ashley & Bailey property is the only textile industry or manufacturing plant within its environment; the fact that they are desirably equipped at the present time for the manufacture of any given product, need not necessarily prove disturbing to a purchaser for other purposes, because the machinery and mechanical equipment, etc., is of such a character that it could be readily disposed of at good prices at a properly handled public sale. CE i i i SI The Ashley & Bailey Company in choosing locations for their mills sought out ‘communities where men were employed by the hundreds and where no opportunity existed for the employment of the women and girls of their families; they always sought growing communities of good repute with a population of native born English speaking people. COE Sa is St Si The Ashley & Bailey Company at all times have decided what they would manu- facture; and until just now have distributed their own goods through their own store at No. 109 Spring Street, New York City; this statement is made with but one single view in mind namely, that the product of The Ashley & Bailey Company has been such that it was readily absorbed in the open market; how many large manufacturing plants today—or industries of any kind so far as that is concerned— can go ahead upon their own resource, without dictation from any body, and manu- facture a product year after year that is always salable and always in demand in the open market. = 14 The Ashley & Bailey Company have moved with a steady, regular, business- like and modern progressive growth, in mills and equipment, to the present size of ten complete and more or less widely separated plants, from a beginning of a few hand operated looms in a single room of a cottage house—yes, and ali this in a period of forty years; the raw material from Japan, China, and Italy is received direct and delivered to the Department stores of the country as a finished product— all uone within its own resources; it is a long way from a business of much less than five thousand dollars per year to a business of three and one half million dollars per year—yet this has all happened within the life time of the ever active original partners of Ashley & Bailey; now retirement from business is decided upon and the ten successful manufacturing plants are to be dispersed to whomso- ever will pay the most for them in open competition at unreserved public sale. Ci i a a The two principal or prime factors in the persistence of growth or the con- sistent increase of the Ashley & Bailey business can be explained but in one way:— the great skill in weaving and knowledge of fabrics possessed by the late Peter Bailey and the characteristics of a Merchandiser possessed by Dwight Ashiey, Sr. Mr. Bailey was one of the pioneers in this country in the manufacture of silk; his career is tangled up with the beginning of silk weaving in America; a place for American manufactured silk in America had to be absolutely created in the face of strong prejudice and against popular sentiment; because of this feeling merchants disliked or refused to handle it; it was first sold from door to door, thus the demand for American Silk was created by the consumer—not by the initiative of the Selling House nor the advertising of the merchant. Mr. Bailey was by nature a silk manipu- lator and manufacturer and he won great fame in the weaving of plain and fancy shaft work; as a matter of fact he was so much of a manufacturer—in love with his work and art—that he wholly lacked the characteristics of a salesman. Upon being brought together they discovered the inherent strength each of the other, and Mr. Ashley the merchant and Mr. Bailey the manufacturer formed the firm of Ashley & Bailey; the result:—an industry only second in size and capacity in the country today of its kind—the voluntary decision of The Ashley & Bailey Company to liquidate places their many manufacturing plants at the mercy of the public. CE i a a Sa The fact that every mill is in operation, that every department is at work, that the organization for every plant is practically intact, that the entire equipment to proceed with the making of goods awaits the approaching change is another way of calling attention to this exceptional sale. 15 HOW TO REACH THE PATERSON PROPERTY LOT ONE—LOT TWO—LOT THREE—LOT FOUR FOUR WAYS There are twenty-five trains daily each way—via Jersey City— between New York City and the River Street Station, Paterson: River Street Station is diagonally across River Street from the prop- erty—Lot One; ten-trip tickets from West 23rd Street and the Chambers Street Ferries, New York City to River Street Station— Paterson, cost 27 1/5 cents a trip each way; a monthly commuta- tion ticket costs $7.10 or 24 cents a round trip; local trains take one hour and eleven minutes; the second way:—take express train to Paterson Station, fifty-seven minutes—then five minutes by automo- bile to the property; another way between River Street Station (at Lot One) and New York City is via the Hudson River Tubes—from Broadway and 33rd Street, etc—which takes sixty minutes; in addi- tion to the service of the Erie System there is the service of the N, Y., 8. & W. Railroad (‘‘Susquehanna’’)—the Riverside Station of which is within one-half mile of the Paterson Property—Lot One— it has the same terminal at Jersey City, hence connects with same ferries and the Hudson River Tubes from New York City although it takes a little longer. From Paterson to or from Philadelphia the quickest way is via Jersey City, thence by the Hudson River Tubes to Grove Street and transfer to the ‘‘Manhattan Transfer’’—the Pennsylvania System (134 hours); all through express and limited trains on the Main Line of the Erie System stop at Paterson—for the West; the Lackawanna System for the purpose of freight comes into the heart of the city of Paterson and business men and resi- dents of the southern section of the city of Paterson also use the passenger service of this road to and from New York City. TROLLEY CARS River Street Station-Paterson is on the opposite side of River Street from the “Paterson Property ;” the Paterson plant is within five minutes taxi-cab ride of the Paterson Station; from Paterson Station—Erie or Susquehanna—take any car for City Hall (within three blocks) and transfer to the Riverside line— leaving the car at Erie Crossing and Lot One 16 PATERSON —NEW JERSEY Paterson is less than sixty minutes from the center of New York City—oftener than hourly service; by the United States Cen- sus 1910 had a population of 125,600; is a very large manufactur- ing center; is famed for the great abundance of its skilled labor, expert artisans, and high class mechanics—especially is this true in silk and other textiles; has over 30,000 depositors in its saving's banks; has some six hundred textile and industrial establishments employing—40,000 operatives; has something like a two hundred daily train service—on three systems of railroads; has extensive banking facilities—with large resources; is a trading center; is alive to all modern municipal conveniences; its system of city government is noted for its business-like administration; its in- debtedness for a series of years has been decreasing; its tax rate for a number of years has been growing smaller; is in a section of the country famous for its sea shore and summer resorts; has an active metropolitan social life. No matter what may be thought or deemed otherwise it is a fact nevertheless that Paterson is the home of the most skilled labor in weaving, dyeing, and finishing—of the silk product. This skilled and exceptional labor has made its home here and persists in living here regardless of the several severe agitations it has passed through; for the first time in the history of the city it now certainly appears as if the days for further agitation of this kind have com- pletely passed; never before at this point have employer and em- ployee so thoroughly understood each other or been so willing to meet. The city does not offer a better situation or location for a textile industry than that now occupied by The Ashley & Bailey Company. Li EXHIBITION TEN EXHIBITIONS The premises of the ten separate and dis- tinct properties will be thrown open for exam- ination and inspection daily commencing the last Monday morning in September or the fifteen days next preceding the first day of sale. Should an earlier inspection of thé first five plants be desired arrangements so to do can be made through the office of the Auctioneers. ch SALE TEN SALES The sale of each property will take place upon the premises—except Lot One, Lot Two, and Lot Three—regardless of any condition of the weather promptly at the allotted time. The sale of Lot One, Lot Two, and Lot Three, will take place in the Warehouse Building (Lot Four). TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14th, 1913 Promptly at Eleven O’clock in the Forenoon acres). .ex— Three Street Frontages tends trom Putnam Street—frontage 265 ft., to War- Railroad Frontage ren Street—trontage 466 Pte reaches from River LOT ONE Street and the main line of the Erie Railroad—com- bined frontage 214 ft., to its easterly boundary line— 200 ft. wide; is at grade with each street and also with railroad; the buildings are so placed and arranged upon the land that each main manufacturing building has unobstructed light, circulation of air, ventilation, etc., from at least three sides—in nearly every instance from four sides; the land is broad and wide, provision is made for extension and enlargement by the razing of the single story buildings only—buildings of the least importance. While the land may be three-quarters covered with buildings of one type or another many of these buildings are single story and it will be a simple matter to replace them with buildings of several stories—should the necessity arise for more floor space— to do this will not require any more land. COAL YARDS ERIE RAILROAD Twelve hundred feet in a straight line north from Lot One along the main line of the Erie Railroad, facing Wait Street, is the coal yard—connected with the Erie Railroad by spur track—of the Ashley & Bailey Company. It comprises an area of 12% city lots; it is at grade with the streets and on an even grade from Lot One; the spur track passes through the center of the entire enclosure; at the Wait Street front, adjoining the spur track, is a single story frame store house 60 x 30 ft. used for the storage of car load lots—for any department of the plant; just beyond the Ashley & Bailey coal yard is the coal yard of the National Silk Dyeing Co.—the coal supply for their several Paterson plants. The property here described as the “Coal Yard” is an attractive piece of real estate and certainly has many more general advantages than the coal yards of the neighboring com- panies—because of street frontages on three sides:—on Wait Street which is 33 ft. wide and parallel with the railroad there is a frontage of 135 ft.; on Lowe Street which is 50 ft. wide there is a frontage of 230 ft.; on East 7th Street which is 60 ft. wide there is a frontage of 100 ft.; such part of the land as is used for the storage of coal and for the frame store house is enclosed within a high picket fence—has an entrance from Wait Street and two entrances from East 7th Street. N. Y., S. & W. R. R. (“SUSQUEHANNA”) On the New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad is a plot of land containing 31,715 sq. ft. that was purchased with the idea of establishing a Coal Yard on the Susquehanna system in addition to the above described coal yard on the Erie system; it adjoins the lumber yard of E. M. Stiles—on the north side, is approached from East 14th Street—on the south side, and through the proposed extension of Lawrence Street—on its westerly side. There are several important manufacturing industries in the immediate vicinity of this lot and it has a value other than for the uses of a railroad frontage; in the imme- diate neighborhood have been recently erected many high class artisans’ homes. RAILROAD SPUR TRACK The Erie Railroad under date of September, 1910, submitted to the Ashley & Bailey Company a proposal for a spur track to the “Paterson Property” which proposal was very acceptable. 28 HORSES With the plant are included a pair of good draft horses; also the nec- essary wagons, sets of harness, carts, etc., etc., etc., to comply with all the re- quirements of the plant. LOCATION The “Paterson Property” of the Ashley & Bailey Company is in the Riverside District of the city of Paterson on the Main Line of the Erie Railroad at River Street Station; is about one-half way between City Hall and the heart of the Riverside District ; is not more than one mile from the City Hall, the Post Office, and the heart of the business center of the city of Paterson; the Riverside line of trolley cars from City Hall through Main Street (principal business Street) to the city line at the Riverside District pass the mill property—either way. The property is ‘surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of the homes of skilled textile workers, expert artisans, and high class mechanics. It is conceded to be as choice a location by competitor and friend—for manufacturing—as there is in New Jersey. INDUSTRIES Within the immediate environment of the “Paterson Property’—Lot One, Lot Two, Lot Three, and Lot Four—are located many manufacturing com- panies and diversified industries, as follows:—The Sipp Machine Co.—adjoin- ing Lot Three; the Peerless Plush Mfg. Co.,—opposite Lot Two; the Ball Silk Mill; the silk plants in the I. A. Hall Mill; the Manhattan Shirt Co.; Estate of Jacob Walder—reeds and harness; National Silk Dyeing Co. (Gaede plant) ; silk mill of Jas. Simpson Co.; National Silk Dyeing Co. (Kearns plant) ; Lamond & Robertson Co.—rugs, carpet and jute manufacturers, hand printing, etc.; National Silk Dyeing Co. (Auger & Simon plant); Cadgene Silk Dyeing & Finishing Co.; Weidmann Silk Dyeing Co. (Owned by Gillet-France) ; Nicholson File Works (Kearney & Foot plant) ; Helvetia Silk Co.; Rosenheim Mill; Aronsohn & Bloom Silk Co.; P. S. Van Kirk Mills—many industries; B. Edmond David; United Ribbon Co.; David Beckett Silk Co. The foregoing industries are in the immediate environment of the Ashley & Bailey properties, but do not by any means name the industries of Paterson which surround the property—only a part of its immediate neighborhood. LABOR This entire section of Paterson, of which the Ashley & Bailey properties form a part, is particularly the home of skilled and diversified labor; as to the labor of Paterson it can be truthfully said that no city in the United States possesses the character in skill and the volume in numbers of high grade labor generally for the manufacture of silk—from the beginning of the taking of the raw material in hand up to its delivery as finished product. While this labor is more or less of an agitative character and at times unruly, yet this is due to the fact of its skilled character; and nevertheless with all this agitation it is still the best labor of its kind in America—we mean by this that while there is trouble from time to time this exceptionally skilled and rare labor persists in staying in Paterson. MORE RECENT The long and bitterly contested strike at the silk weaving and dyeing plants of Paterson—recently abandoned—in which the strikers failed to gain a single point or concession, means of itself a very much better feeling from now on be- tween labor and employer in Paterson—for a long time at least. In other words and for the simple reason that both sides are in a position to treat one with the other—neither having gained. FIRE PROTECTION Buffalo Underwriter’s fire pump 18 x 10 x 12—capacity up to one thousand gallons per minute—directly connected with Woolford one hundred thousand gallon elevated tank; the tank has direct connection with the city gravity water 29 system; extending from the Underwriters pump is a complete under-ground supply pipe system reaching not only to the top of every building but to the floor of every building that is equipped with the automatic sprinkler system; within the yard is a complete hydrant system—housed and supplied with fire hose, nozzles, etc.; the entire equipment is absolutely modern and every part of it has been repeatedly tested to 150 pounds pressure; the fire protection has often passed the inspection of the Associated Mutual Insurance Companies who have for many years insured the property; at all door-ways and exits protected by automatic fire doors only stone, or brick and cement steps, have been installed. One of the most modern fire fighting equipments of the Paterson Fire Depaftment is housed within a two minutes run of the Paterson Properties of The Ashley & Bailey Company. NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Paterson Property— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the’ open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures. EQUIPMENT IN DETAIL THE PATERSON PROPERTY BROAD SILK PLANT LOT ONE _ The equipment :—first, it is in prime condition from any stand point; second while some of it bears the name of old models and has been rebuilt and adapted ‘to the most profitable requirements of today—that which could neither be used profitably or brought up to date went,to the scrap-heap, long ago; what is meant to be inferred, is this—the necessity will not be found to replace any of this equipment with something that will do more practical work in a better manner than is being done today by the equipment as a whole; if just criticism can be made upon any piece of equipment it will undoubtedly refer to a few narrow looms; while many of the looms upon the premises have the original frames— these frames were retained where they proved more adaptable to ‘the work than the new or latter type ones—most of the frames have been widened out, made over and equipped with up to date parts. If the firm of Ashley & Bailey had one trait, possibly more deeply inculcated than another, it was for the adaptation of everything new in the shape of modern ideas and late day attachments; in other words, striving and succeeding in fact, in keeping at the head of ei innumerable lines of silk manufacture. In addition to the very complete weav- ing plants—broad silks and ribbons—there is also a complete and very exten- sive finishing plant; also a very complete Machine Warp and Piece Color print- ing shop; also a complete Jacquard Card Cutting and Card Lacing shop; also a complete Designing and Sketching department: also a complete Loom Har- ness making and reed repairing shop; also an extensive Machine Shop; also a Mack 60 h, p. motor truck taking product daily from the Paterson Plant to the New York store—returning with freight or express from the New York City or Jersey City piers, to the plant: the Paterson Property has a complete American Bell switchboard system of communication with every shop and de- partment, together with an inter-communicating shop telephone system—operated from the same switchboard. 30 Riverside F THE ASHLEY & BAILEY PLANT — LOT ONE — PATERSON TWEASHLEVE Bauey 6 ie: ees A 1 fa aw: Main Line Erie Railroad River Street eight House Main Line Erie Railroad River Street Lot Four (warenouse) / LOT ONE Erie Railroad River Street Station—Erie Railroad . _ LOOKING UP PUTNAM STREET—FROM ERIE RA|LROAD CROSSING as River Street -_—— — Main Building-Center Machine Shop Building Putnam Street Wing of Main Build Office Building LOT ONE Main Building-West LOOKING COWN PUTNAM STREET FROM OPPOSITE SIDE AND BEYOND THE PROPERTY il ft i “lies i ip a Putnam Street | ae Jacquard Card Boiler House Gasoline Process Finishing Building Main Building-West Warren Street Garage Warren Street Design Main Line Erie Railroad LOT ONE Warren Street Wing of Main Building-West Wing of Main Main Building- Wing of Main Bu g Storage Building LOOKING UP WARREN STREET §ROM ERIE RAILROAD CROSSING Main Building-Center Building-West Center Building-East LOT ONE Warren Street Wing of Main Building-East LOOKING DOWN WARREN STREET FROM OPPOSITE SIDE AND BEYOND THE PROPERTY NEIGHBORS NEIGHBORS 4 wilt dog e OF 7 Public School No. 10—Same Block = INTERIOR VIEWS ON OTHER SIDE Plant of Peerless Plush Mfg.

FOUR STORIES BRICK The Third Floor has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of 11 ft. 6 in.; the timbers are 14 x 12 in—the floor joists are 12 x 3 in. on 16 in. centers; the upright posts—a single line through the center of the room, 15 sk 4 in. apart—are I2 x 12 in. the window openings are 8 x 5 ft. 5 in.—24 and 30 in. apart; the floor is double and lined— diagonally laid; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; the room is the size of the building, is naturally lighted from three sides, and is in fact a very attractive manufacturing floor. The Tower has an inside-measurement of 16 ft. 4 in. x Io ft. 6 in., has mid- way landing between floors, the stair risers make the stair climbing easy; on each floor landing there are two toilet rooms, an employees’ iron sink, and running water. The Second Floor has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of It ft. 5 in.; the timbers are 14 x 12 in.; the upright posts—a single line through the center of the room, 15 ft. 3 in. apart—are 12 x 12 in.; the window open- ings are 8 x 5 ft. 5 in—24 and 36 in. apart; the floor is double and lined— diagonally laid; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; the room is naturally lighted from three sides—the fourth side being a blank wall; is the size of the building and is an ideal floor for any manufacturing purpose. The First Floor has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of 11 ft. 3 in., the timbers are 14 x 12 in.—the floor joists are 12 x 3 in. on 18 in. centers; the upright posts—a single line through the center of the room, 15 fue) ine apatt ares Tein’; “the window openings are 8 x 5 ft. 5 in— 24 and 36 in. apart, with prismatic glass in the upper half; the floor is double 49 ae ae an and lined—diagonally laid; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; the room is naturally lighted from the two long sides and is certainly a very pleasant work room. The Foundation:—In addition to the four heavy stone and cement walls un- der the four sides of the building there is also a heavy stone and cement center wall support—from end to’end. Part of the Ribbon Mill Plant—included with it—is a Dwelling House two family house numbered 58 Warren Street. This No. 58 Warren Street house has recently been overhauled and is a good Ribbon Mill Plant renting proposition until the land is needed for ex- LOT TWO tension, addition, enlargement, etc., in connection with the Ribbon Mill. If rented it is bound to realize an income of from $16. to $20. each month. To own it—to control it even—is of much consequence to the owner of Lot Two. If the future should demand no extension—in any way—of the Mill Building the house property in any event will take care of itself; and it will be just as good a neighbor to the mill as the owner of Lot Two sees fit to make it. MOTORS The Ribbon Mill Plant (Lot Two) is operated by six electric motors. On the fourth floor there are two:—One a Westinghouse 20 h. p. motor—220 volts, 600 revolutions, and one a Westinghouse 15 h. p. motor—220 volts, 650 revolutions, both equipped with Westinghouse starting boxes, and operated from one switchboard;.on the second floor there are two motors:—one a West- inghouse 20 h. p. motor—220 volts, 600 revolutions, and one a Westinghouse 15 h. p. motor—22o0 volts, 650 revolutions, both equipped with Westinghouse starting boxes, and operated from one switchboard; on the first floor there are two Westinghouse 15 h. p. motors—220 volts, 600 revolutions, equipped with Westinghouse starting boxes, and operated from one switchboard. The wires of the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey are on Warren Street in front of the premises ready to supply any demand for electrical power. The Land with the Ribbon Mill Plant (Lot Two) The Land comprises an*area of 11,919 sq. it. (44 acre); 4aces % Acre Warren Street—97 ft. frontage; extends 137 ft. to the Warren Street Frontage rear boundary line—83 ft. wide; the building is LOT TWO parallel with and at the westerly side of the lot—end to Warren Street; without the addition of another square foot of land tere is an opportunity to double the size of the present build- ing—and yet receive unobstructed light from one full side and both ends; the present building has unobstructed light from four full sides. That portion of the land now occupied by the dwelling house and shed is of unquestionable value to Lot Two because it provides land for a finishing plant, a dye house, a power plant, etc., or an additional mill building or other mill buildings without disturbing the Ribbon Mill from any Stane Doin FIRE PROTECTION The fire protection of the Ribbon Mill Plant has repeatedly passed the in- spection of the Associated Mutual Insurance Companies; the water supply to the sprinkler system comes from two 22,000 gallon (each) water tanks on top of the brick Stair Tower; this tower extends 18 ft. above the roof of the mill; the tanks are directly connected with a Davis triplex 4 x 6 belt driven pump; the sprinkler system is connected with the city main by gate and meter; all doorways have automatic fire doors; the building is equipped with iron fire escapes. The operating power of the Ribbon Mill Plant is electricity; the electricity is now furnished by the power plant of Lot One; it can be as easily obtained from the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey whose transmission wires pass through Warren Street— directly in front of the Ribbon Mill. 50 It will not be an easy matter to find a more substantial or better constructed manufacturing building than the Ribbon Mill; rarely is a manufacturing building of four floors more perfectly lighted naturally; it is unusual to find a building as clean, neat, and cheer- ful, from top to bottom, as the Ribbon Mill. NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Paterson Property— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures.

It is equipped to an extent—almost unknown in other silk dye plants—with ideas, systems of economy, and low cost of getting out the product. Many of its manipulations are trade secrets of the Ashley & Bailey Company, yet they have shown their value and proved their saving principles in every opera- tion. To illustrate the extent and the meaning of the many secrets for manipulations, A & B attachments, and other processes that years of experience in the same business have brought to the sur- face it can be truthfully said:—in the piece dyeing department where twenty-four employees were formerly needed it takes but four employees to accomplish the same task today; in other in- stances where skilled labor was constantly required the work is now done by the most ordinary labor; all dye boxes, dye gigs, and . wash boxes, throughout the premises—of every nature—are piped to receive not only the gravity water but artesian well water as well; the gravity water comes direct from the Passaic Water Co. main to the Dye House Plant; should future use require artesian well water it would be a very easy matter to connect the wells— to be driven—with the pipes for same already installed upon the premises. The Dye House Plant has a capacity equal to taking care of the product—in skein and piece dyeing—of some 2,700 looms. Now as to the water problem :—when dyeing was first taken up by the Ashley & Bailey Company, the dye house—as a matter of fact the entire plant was confined within the premises of what is de- scribed in this catalogue as Lot One; as the business grew and the plant increased, property on the opposite side of Warren Street was purchased and a new dye house was established thereon—in order to make room for the growth of the other departments on the original premises; in time more property was taken over by the dye house plant and it now extends through to Keen Street. At the time of the first dye house (on Lot One) wells were driven for Artesian water, so much money had been invested in the driving of these wells, the installation of power equipment, together with the fact that the power plant operating them was also established on Lot One, that it was decided to continue the use of the wells and the power plant for the dye house—even though the new dye house 61 plant was on the opposite side of Warren Street. In other words, this eliminated the driving of new wells, the installation of new power, the elimination of extra employees, meant the reduction of overhead charges, reduced maintenance charges, etc.; again the wells were already in operation and furnishing more water than was needed—for this reason and this reason alone, with the excep- tion of one well—no other wells have ever been driven on the dye house side of Warren Street. The one well already driven, however, shows water within nine feet of the dye house floor and the oppor- tunity to drive other wells is equal to any opportunity that has ever offered itself on the opposite side of the street. The compressor plant equipment—now installed in the Pumping Building on Lot One—will be included with and sold as a part of Lot Three. It has always operated the driven wells—and part of the dye house equip- ment—no matter where located. The dye house is, however, under a very satisfying contract with the Passaic Water Co. for the de- livery of five hundred thousand gallons of gravity water each twenty- four hours at a rate of cost of but $15 per million gallons; this supply is guaranteed to give five hundred thousand gallons of gravity driven water every twenty-four hours, and the source from which this water comes is practically unlimited in quantity; this water— always referred to as “gravity” water—when filtered will do all the piece dyeing of every description upon the premises; at least three- fourths of the skein dyeing can be done by this gravity water— when filtered; the balance or less than one-fourth of the skein dye- ing may need artesian well water; the ‘“Boss” dyer, however, says that all dyeing upon the premises can be done with the gravity water—if filtered; if this is doubted, why! there is now one artesian well already driven upon the premises and the opportunity awaits the driving of more—it does not cost near as much today to drive artesian wells as formerly. Paterson is famous for its artesian well water—for dyeing purposes—and the peculiarly desirable qualities thereof; the superintendent of the dye house insists that the gravity water—of which apparently there is no limit in quantity—when filtered is so much softer naturally than the artesian well water that he prefers it—it is certainly more economical to use and none can gainsay that it is more advantageous. Main Dye House 134 x 50 feet LOT THREE PART TWO STORIES BRICK The Single High Story of the Main Dye House has a height of post at the walls of from 13 ft. 6 in. to 15 ft.; the saw-tooth roof is trussed, has tongued, grooved board and joist construction—copper covered; the timbers are 12 x 6 in.; the rooms are free from posts; the window openings are 9 x 5 ft—36 and 42 in. apart; the upper sash have transom swing, and are operated by worm gear from the floor; the floor is blue slate stone flagging—sanitarily drained and sewered; the walls are white, and so is the saw-tooth roof ceiling; the departments are naturally lighted from two sides each—practically so from the third side, and from the Monitor top to the roof. Skein Dye House 86 x 42 feet LOT THREE BRICK The Single High Story of the Skein Dye House has a height of post at the walls of from 13 ft. 6 in. to 15 ft.; the saw-tooth roof is trussed, has tongued, grooved board and joist construction—copper covered ; the timbers are 12 x 6 in.; the room is free from posts; the window openings are 9 x 5 ft.—36 and 42 in. apart; the upper sash have transom swing and are operated by worm gear from floor; the floor is blue slate stone flagging—sanitarily drained and sewered; the walls are white, and so is the saw-tooth roof ceiling; is naturally lighted from two sides, practically so from the third side, and from the Monitor top to the roof. NOTE :—The entire arrangement and equipment of the Main Dye House, the Skein Dye House, and the Piece Dyeing Departments are complete— following the latest ideas in dyeing, in the method of their housing, their facilities, and the type of equipment; for its size, there is hardly a plant to excel tt. 62 : The Single High Story has a height of post at the walls Piece Dye House beneath the timbers of 13 ft., the saw-tooth roof is West Side tongued, grooved board and joist construction— 43x31 feet covered with copper; the timbers are 12 x 6 in.; the LOT THREE room is free from posts; the sash in the saw-tooth roof are 5 x 4 ft., swinging on centers and operated in gangs by worm gear from the floor; the floor is blue slate stone flagging; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; the building because of the great flood of natural light, is practically as light within as with- out; the floor is sanitarily drained and sewered; the arrangement is typical and intelligently solved. BRICK Piece Dye House The Second Floor has a height of post beneath the East End timbers at the walls of 12 ft. 6 in.; the trussed roof is 43, x 36 feet board and joist construction—covered with Common- wealth slag; the window openings are 8 x 4 ft. 6 LOT THREE in.; the floor is double and lined—diagonally laid; Whe LSE Na lle the walls are white, and the room is naturally lighted from three sides. The First Floor has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of at least 12 ft. 6 in.; the timbers are 12 x 12 in.—the floor joists are 12 x 3 in. on 18 in. centers; the window openings are 8 ft. x 4 ft. 6 in—38 in. apart; the floor is blue slate stone flagging; the walls are white, and the room is naturally lighted from two sides—and partly so from the third side. Drug House The Drug House is a very substantial building; the second floor front is set off into a room for the opera- 52 x 24 feet tion of the Burckhardt (German) eight reel supple, - LOT THREE engine driven, self contained softening machine; the TWO STORIES second floor rear is set off into two skein drying rooms BRICK equipped with A & B lustering machines—capacity 350 lbs. per day; the first floor front is set off into the Drug Room—well equipped with drugs, chemicals, dye stuffs, etc., etc., etc., etc. ; the first floor rear is set off into the Phosphating Room—equipped with Heine - (German) circulating hydro-extractor, capacity up to 250 lbs. of silk at one time, equalizing attachment; Dean circulating pump, etc., etc., etc., etc. EXTENSION DRUG ROOM Between the Warren Street Front and the Dye House-West is an extension Drug Room. This room is well supplied with drugs, chemicals, dye stuffs, soap, drug room equipment, etc., etc., etc. PHOSPHATING ROOM Between the Drug Room and Main Dye House-West is a Phosphating Room with a very late type imported German equipment. GRAVITY WATER Running Into the Dye House in Great Volume of its Own Momentum unobstructed through large and heavy pipe is a guaranteed supply of gravity water of five hundred thousand gallons per day; should more water than—five hundred thousand gallons per day—be required the source of supply is practically unlimited; this gravity water—-which is very soft—after filtration is clear as crystal. It is supplied under an agreement with the Passaic Water Co. at a 63 rate of cost of fifteen dollars per million gallons—with a guarantee to deliver five hundred thousand gallons every twenty-four hours; the source of this water is apparently unlimited in quantity. This gravity water when filtered will do all the piece dyeing of every description upon the premises, at least three-fourths of the skein dyeing can be done by the filtrated gravity water, and the balance or less than one-fourth may need Artesian water for the best results. The “Boss” dyer, however, says “that all dyeing upon the premises—of every kind and nature—can be done by the gravity water when filtered.” DRIVEN WELL But One Artesian Well has been driven on the Dye House premises and the necessity of connecting this well up with the others has never come to hand although water constantly stands in this well within nine feet of the Dye House floor; upon the opposite side of Keen Street from the Dye House plant is the plant of the Peerless Plush Mfg. Co. who have successfully driven wells upon their premises; many wells have been driven upon Lot One, successful wells have been driven at the plant of the Peerless Plush Mfg. Co., and the Dye House Plant is in direct line between the two and separated therefrom by either Warren or Keen Street. The fact that the Artesian wells upon Lot One were already driven and furnishing more water than was required of them—for Dye House purposes—long before any thought of building a dye house on the opposite side of Warren Street was conceived, and added to this the fact that the entire power equipment to lift the water was also upon Lot One, were sufficient reasons at that time to induce The Ashley & Bailey Company to refrain from driving any more wells or installing another power plant on account of the new dye house on the opposite side of Warren Street; hence it was a simple matter to connect the existing wells and power plant—under Warren Street—with the new Dye House Plant. The purchaser of Lot Three will have a reasonable time in which to remove the before mentioned compressor equipment—if he so de- sires—to the premises of the Dye House Plant, and such right is reserved to him in the selling of Lot One—the Broad Silk Plant. BI-CHLORIDE OF TIN PLANT FOR SILK WEIGHTING The Complete Equipment for manufacturing Bi-Chloride of Tin for silk weighting purposes—in the dyeing of silk—is extensive, convenient, right up to the minute, and the best known process; has a capacity for tin weighting up to 750 lbs. of silk each twenty-four hours—it is a complete unit, a money saving department, and has proved itself an absolute necessity from the standpoint of economy. RE-CLAIMING PROCESS FOR BI-CHLORIDE OF TIN In addition to the Bi-Chloride of Tin unit there is a complete unit for the re-claiming of the Bi-Chloride of Tin from the wash water of the Dye House; this equipment includes:—White & Middleton 6 h. p. horizontal gas engine; Root No. 1 size rotary pressure blower—capacity of this unit equal to redeeming thirteen pigs of precipitated tin of too lbs. each; the gain on-account of the operation of this re-claiming plant over other methods to the Ashley. & Bailey Company is not less than from $6000. to $8000. per year.. The Bi-Chloride of Tin unit and the Bi-Chloride of Tin re-claiming unit are temporarily located in two sheds in the rear of the dwelling house included with Lot Two. Thev are ‘reserved from the sale of Lot Two. 64 BLACK IRON LIQUOR AND RED IRON LIQUOR PLANTS In the Annex-East there is a complete unit for manufacturing “black iron liquor,” a complete unit for manufacturing “red iron liquor,” an extensive equip- ment for the manufacturing and storing of pyrolignite and sulphate or iron; these three units are housed and set off by themselves. SOAP MANUFACTURING PLANT Over the Driveway Leading from Warren Street to the Main Dye House is the Soap Manufacturing Plant with a capacity up to 16,000 lbs. of soap per week ; this department is fully equipped and works out a wonderful saving in the cost of soap consumption at the plant; the stock to and from the soap room is received from the aforementioned passageway—by winch. GAMBIA LIQUOR PLANT At a Slightly Lower Level, but adjoining the soap house, is the extracting plant of gambia—more than equal in capacity to every demand of the Dye House Plant; the gambia solution is distributed by gravity to the requiring dye boxes. MOTOR The piece dye department is operated by its own motor, a Crocker-Wheeler 15 h. p. electric motor, complete—11o volts, 875 revolutions; Cutler-Hammer starting box, knife switch and fuse blocks. COMPRESSOR PLANT PART) OF LOT THREE (NOW IN PUMPING HOUSE—LOT ONE) The Compressor Plant equipment—part of this lot—now located in the Pump- ing Building of Lot One, belongs to the Dye House Plant (Lot Three). In other words the Compressor Plant equipment is included with and will be sold as a part of Lot Three—although not at present located thereon. It is reserved from the sale of Lot One. This equipment is used to pump the water from the artesian wells upon Lot One and deliver it to the elevated tanks upon the Dye House Plant (Lot Three). It comprises:—Providence “Improved Greene” 250 h. p. steam engine installed in present position in 1906—formerly used to operate the entire plant; is in first class condition, runs perfectly, and is economically operated and was thoroughly overhauled before being installed in present posi- tion; Laidlaw, Dunn, Gordon Co. 18 x t1 x 18 duplex two stage R. M. F. belt driven air compressor, installed new in 1906—145 ri p. capacity, delivers 10,080 cubic ft. of free air per minute at 150 revolutions; 12,000 gallon elevated tank, outside and just north of Pumping Building—this tank is used as a reservoir supply in connection with the Compressor Plant; Gould 7 x 8 geared triple plunger belt driven pump—this pump delivers water from the reservoir just mentioned to tanks on roof of Dye House Plant. The Land The Land with the Dye House Plant (Lot Three) Wet Ou Acres comprises an area of 18,151 sq. ft. (42/100 acres) ; Twat Street kvontages faces Warren Street—96 ft. frontage; the Warren Street frontage extends back 140 ft. to a boundary LOT THREE line—112 ft. awide:; the land also extends through to Keen Street—67 ft. frontage; the Keen Street frontage extends back 43 iio a boundary line—68 ft. wide; there is an open area 15 ft. wide and extending in from Warren Street for a distance of 52 ft.; at the westerly side of the premises iS an open area 15 ft. wide and extending in from Warren Street for a distance of 45 ft. OPTION ee Keen Street, and the rear of the land fronting on Warren Street, is a portion of the partially used Tiddens Estate; the Ashley & Bailey Company 65 have an option of purchase upon this land expiring October 16th, 1913; this portion of the Tiddens Estate also adjoins the land of the Dye House Plant fronting on Keen Street. NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Paterson Property— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures. EQUIPMENT IN DETAIL THE PATERSON PROPERTY DYE HOUSE PLANT LOT THREE RECEIVING ROOM The Receiving Room has all the necessary and proper equipment for the receival of stock and the distribution of the same to the different departments— of the process; it is very light, has sufficient size and convenience, has a dark closet especially equipped with General Electric lamp—for matching colors at night. LABORATORY The Laboratory, for the testing of chemicals and dye stuffs for the proper and successful manipulation of the dye house plant is most complete.

NOTE :—The skein dyeing department is thoroughly equipped for every requisite of the business, and amply supplied with sub-equipment that there may be no delay or loss of employees’ time in the operating of the plant—because of the giving out of any of the equipment. 67 IMPORTANT The Dye House buildings are equipped with, not only a system of under- ground water piping, but an overhead system as well. Elevated, practically in the center of the Dye House Building, is an 8,000 gallon tank serving as a reservoir for the boil-off soap liquor; this soap liquor is used for dyeing pur- poses and is the by-product from the silk boil-off process. PIECE DYEING DEPARTMENT Keen Street Front-West:—three A & B stripping boxes—capacity up to 400 pieces every ten hours; these boxes are at the westerly side of the room surrounded by an elevated 3 in. plank platform; they are equipped with a Worth- ington 9 x 54% x io brass lined and brass valve double acting steam pump; this pump takes the boil-off liquor and sends it to the re-claiming plant; the boil-off liquor tanks are equipped with racks and the silk is lowered into them—hung on dye sticks; then it is raised from the vats to frames directly above for drain- ing off—this method eliminates all cracks and creases from the process; two A & B power driven dyeing boxes—capacity up to 30 pieces each or 120 pieces each in 10 hours; the work of these machines is continuous until the lot in pro- cess is finishe y shade is done while the machine is in opera- tion; two A & B power driven dyeing boxes—capacity up to 15 pieces’ each or 60 pieces each in 10 hours; one power driven dyeing box—capacity up to 55 pieces or 165 pieces in every to hours. Keen Street Front-East:—Two Arlington dye gigs—each has two rubber rolls and a capacity up to 52 in. goods, is equipped with 150 gallon tank as reservoir for the black process; two Tillinghast portable mill sewing machines; two A & B dye gigs—equipped with spray attachment, A & B brass expander, capacity up to 56 in. goods; eight A & B reversible dye gigs—equipped with sprays attachment, A & B brass expander, capacity up to 40 in. goods; the last lot of gigs are a special process for cotton back linings and heavy satin faced goods; A & B squeeze mangle—brass and rubber rolls, spray attachment, ca- pacity up to 42 in. goods; A & B piece rebeaming machine. NOTE :—This department 1s complete in every respect and has a full com- plement of small equipment to amply meet every demand of piece dye- mg. PHOSPHATING ROOM Between the Drug Room and Main Dye House-West is the Phosphating room. ‘The equipment of which includes:—Heine (German) underneath engine driven self balancing circulating hydro-extractor—capacity up to 250 lbs. of silk at one time—equipped with automatic equalizing attachment; Dean 9% x 4 x 6 double acting steam pump—used as a circulating pump for Shesphagee process; the equipment of this room is up to the minute and eliminates the method of hand work—in fact takes the place of eight men. THE FINISHING ROOM TO SKEIN DYE HOUSE The Finishing Room to Skein Dye House has an equipment that is unusually complete, fully adequate to every demand, and includes :—Burckhardt (German) eight reel Supple softening machine—engine driven, self-contained; in con- nection with the skein drying room—over the dynamiting process roo two skein drying rooms equipped with A & B lustering machines—capacity of 350 lbs. per day. 68 ELEVATED TANKS Three Fifteen Thousand Gallon Tanks (each) upon the Dye House premises furnish water to the washing machines—under at least 30 lbs. pressure; there are also other tanks—sufficiently elevated to give gravity water pressure, for general dye house uses:—two of these have a capacity of fifteen thousand gallons each and one of twelve thousand gallons; the total reserve tank capacity at the Dye House Plant is equal to ninety-two thousand gallons of water. Until the completion of the splendid arrangement with the Passaic Water Co.—to supply the plant with five hundred thousand gallons daily of gravity water— the water supply at the Dye House plant was insufficient and a constant source of anxiety and trouble; since this gravity supply was acquired anxiety and trouble over the water supply have entirely ceased. SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED The innumerable supply of brass and copper receptacles, bowls, etc., etc., etc.; and of wooden dye house pails, etc., etc., etc., should not be overlooked. In the yard area—about the garage—there are at least fifteen, perhaps more, piece dye machines that belong to Lot Three (Dye House Plant). These piece dye machines are reserved from the sale of Lot One (Broad Silk Plant) but are left where they are for the simple reason that they are comfortably stored in sheds for the purpose. SHAFTING, BELTING, AND PULLEYS The equipment of shafting, belting, pulleys, etc., etc., etc., etc., is in great abundance, is in prime condition, is modern in type, and is all very desirable— whether in use or in surplus. What is said here of the shafting, belting, pulleys, etc., etc., etc., etc., of The Paterson Property is equally true in the case of every plant described in this catalogue. 69 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14th, 1913 Promptly at One O’clock in the Afternoon — or Earlier Upon the Premises An Exceptional Manufacturing Building Or New Warehouse—In Daily Use REAL ESTATE THE PATERSON PROPERTY WAREHOUSE PLANT LOT FOUR The Warehouse Plant separate and apart from all other “Paterson Property” with the exception of its rear line which ad- joins the Broad Silk Plant (Lot One); the building was erected in 1909 after plans that made it equally adaptable for a small manu- facturing plant or the very latest type of approved storage ware- house. It will be a hard task to make criticism of this building as a perfect home for a small industry—either textile or mechanical. At present it is electrically equipped to be burglar-proof and it is as near a fire-proof structure as a brick building can be. It is per- fectly drained and sewered. To illustrate in another way the character of this building it may not be out of place to state that the Ashley & Bailey Company have had stored in it at one time seven hundred thousand dollars worth of raw material and finished product which they were able to perfectly insure at a rate of one tenth of one per cent. ae The Second Floor has a height of post beneath the Warehouse Building timbers at the walls of 1 5 tea the top of the 100 x 53 feet timbers to the peak of the roof is an additional 8 ft. LOT FOUR 2 in.; the roof is trussed, is 2 in. tongued and grooved Wo STORIES plank construction—covered with Delaney slag; the BRICK window openings are 11 ft. 2 in. x 5 ft. I in.—2gq in. apart; the floor is 3 in. plank covered with maple— especially water-proof lined; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; the room is naturally lighted from three sides—the rear end being a solid wall; it is as light within as without; never did a manufacturing building, or a fire-proof, burglar-proof building, have a pleasanter or more cheerful room within four walls; the floor is the size of the building and at present is equipped with in- dexed and numbered aisles of slated storage bins suitable for the storing of bundle silk, finished goods, or any other raw material or product; the bins are equipped with balcony landings midway between floor and ceiling. The First Floor has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of 13 ft. I1 in.; the timbers are 14 x 12 in.; the upright posts—a single line through the center of the room, 13 ft. 3 in. apart—are Io x Io in.; the window openings are II ft. I in. x 5 ft. I in.—24 in. apart; the floor is 3 in. plank covered with maple ; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling ; the room is naturally lighted from three sides—the rear wall being solid; it is as bright within as without and like the floor above is the size of the building; an ideal room from a manufacturing standpoint or for warehouse purposes; the floor at present is used for the block printing of piece goods and is equipped with three 80 x 4 ft. block printing tables—3 in. cypress taps and iron side rails for carriage run; these tables are 70 put together with bolts and nuts, and are movable; another similar table 15% ft. x 57 in.; also set Standard platform scales—on trucks; set Fairbanks counter platform scales; also double slated bin storage rack. The Stair Tower is 14 x 13 ft.—center landing midway between floors; the stairs have easy risers; the tower is naturally lighted from two sides, is in the northwest corner of the building. The Elevator Well is inclosed within four brick walls, is naturally lighted, is equipped with an Albro-Clem electric driven elevator—platform 5 ft. 6 in. x 4 ft. 6 in. The Electric Motor is a Fairbanks & Morse 3 h. p.—28o volts, 1100 revolu- tions, alternating current; the switchboard is equipped with three double throw knife switches and fuse blocks; this motor has direct connection with the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey. The Foundation:—In addition to the four heavy stone and cement walls under the four sides of the building there is also a heavy stone and cement center wall support—from end to end. The Windows of the Building are protected with heavy especially woven wire; the two lower rows of glass to the lower sash to each window on each floor are ground glass; all the windows on one side—as a matter of fact next to any building—are protected by fire-proof shutters. In General each floor has broad double door openings at the Putnam Street end—equipped with cat-head hoist; the building is piped throughout for steam, lighted throughout by electricity, and sprinkled throughout by automatic sprinkler system; the first floor has a toilet room, also porcelain lavatory, and running water; each floor is supplied with freight truck, case trucks, skids, galvanized iron waste cans, etc. A neater, cleaner, or more attractive looking building will be hard to find; in preparing the plans and carrying out the construc- tion of the building the adding of one or more stories was taken into consideration; the walls are heavy—with tile capped pilasters. The Land with the Warehouse Plant (Lot Four) The Land comprises an area of 7500 sq. ft.; faces Putnam 7500 sq. ft. Street—frontage of 75 ft.; extends 101 ft. to the rear Putnam Street Frontage boundary line—75 ft. wide; the building is parallel LOT FOUR with both sides and in the center of the lot—end to Putnam Street; on the westerly side of the building is an open area 14 ft. wide—the depth of the lot; on the easterly side is an open area 8 ft. wide—the depth of the lot. The land does not adjoin any other property of the Ashley & Bailey Company on the Warren Street front although it extends to the Broad Silk Plant (Lot One) in the rear. HOW TO REACH THE HAWTHORNE MILL Hawthorne Station is on the main line of the Erie Railroad— nineteen miles from Jersey City—twenty or more trains daily, each way between New York City and Hawthorne Station; is on the New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad—twenty-four miles from Jersey City—twenty trains daily, each way, between New York City and Hawthorne Station; the Hawthorne line of trolley cars pass the two stations just mentioned going east and City Hall, Paterson, going west; to reach The Hawthorne Mill leave the trolley cars— either way—at Westervelt Avenue, within two blocks of the mill; from either of these stations or from City Hall it is but ten minutes ride to the corner of Westervelt Avenue. All limited and express trains on the main line of the Erie Railroad, with hardly an exception, stop at Paterson Station. From Paterson Station or ftom the Susquehanna Station, for The Hawthorne Mill, take any trolley car to the City Hall (within three blocks of the Stations) and transfer to the Hawthorne line; leave the Hawthorne trolley car at Westervelt Avenue, within two blocks of the mill. From the “Paterson Property” to The Hawthorne Mill take trolley car at mill office and transfer at Bridge Street to the Hawthorne Line—the actual ride between the two plants is not more than ten minutes, there may be a little delay however at the transfer; to walk (15 minutes) from the “Paterson Prop- erty” to The Hawthorne Mill go down Putnam Street to East Fifth Street, East Fifth Street to Sixth Avenue, cross bridge to Goffle Road at right and turn up Westervelt Avenue to the mill; from The Hawthorne Mill to the “Paterson Prop- erty” simply reverse this route. | Much the quickest way from New York City to The Hawthorne Mill is by express train to Paterson and trolley car or taxi cab to the mill. 72 THE HAWTHORNE MILL—NEW JERSEY The Hawthorne Mill—for a plant of its size—is about per- fectly located from any standpoint; its immediate surroundings are made up of the homes of skilled workers—free from the tene- ment house and the boarding house element; as a matter of fact the entire environment, both far and wide, is made up of the homes of families of expert and unusually skilled workmen—the habitant being in most instances owner of the premises—and the plants of several famous industries of diversified manufactures. The plant is elevated, overlooks that all about it, even to the city of Paterson which is on the opposite side of the Passaic River; air, light, circu- lation, and ventilation come to The Hawthorne Mill from four un- obstructed sides; it overlooks all the other manufacturing plants in the neighborhood yet is easily reached by its employes who, with the employees of neighboring plants, live about it. It is out of the con- gestion, noise, dirt, and commotion of the city, yet the most desirable labor in textile manufacturing is at its door. The plant upon examination is bound to bring forth expressions of compliment. This means, of course, taken all and all as a whole. It is strictly a weaving proposition with winding, warping and quilling depart- ments. One main building 211 x 43 ft. three stories and part base- ment, a power house building and equipment, abundant artesian well water, 55,425 sq. ft. (114 acres) of land—enclosed within its own board fence. Businesslike looking and attractive from a manufac- turer’s standpoint. It is the newest and latest plant built and es- tablished by The Ashley & Bailey Company. It began operation in January, 1902. With the exception of part of the looms the entire equipment was installed new. Every loom upon the premises, how- ever, has been brought up to a condition to do profitable work and meet all demands made upon it. Within five years some 200 or 300 homes have been built by their occupants within a radius of a mile from the mill; many of these houses have two apartments, one of which is always occupied by the owner; not a boarding house nor a tenement house has been erected in the neighborhood. The Haw- thorne Mill is in Hawthorne Borough, an elevated district outlying the city of Paterson on the opposite side of the Passaic River. The Borough is well administered, is well off financially, taxes and assess- ments are very low; adjoining on the south is Prospect Park Borough and like Hawthorne Borough rapidly growing as a home section; be- yond the mill to the north is the residential section of Hawthorne Borough. The State Line or Hawthorne Line of trolley cars pass through Goffle Road, which is within two blocks east and down Westervelt Avenue from the mill gate. These cars run from Lake- view Borough on the opposite side of the city of Paterson through Paterson, Hawthorne Borough, Ridgewood, and eventually to the State Line at Suffern. The Hawthorne Station on the main line of the Erie Railroad is three-quarters of a mile north of the property on the line of the Hawthorne trolley cars; the Hawthorne Station of the New York, Susquehanna & Western Railroad is within one mile north of the plant on the said line of trolley cars. “~l Co 4 There is much reason to believe that the real estate and power plant of several of the Ashley & Bailey properties if separated from the equipment are in demand for other manufactur- ing purposes than as at present used. Several prospective purchasers for one or the other of these manufacturing realties have felt that the fact that they were full of equipment—that would be of no use to them—made their purchase insurmountable. Under these circumstances it may not be considered an act of presumption upon the part of the Auctioneers to state that from any experience they have had in the dis- posal of mill equipment in the last twenty or thirty years in seventeen different states of this country, there is every reason to believe that the machinery, mechanical equipment, etc., etc., at either of the plants of The Ashley & Bailey Company if properly managed, handled, and pledged at an absolute auction sale to the highest bona fide bidders—in lots to suit pur- chasers—within sixty days of the sale of the plant, could be advantageously sold and would yield a substantial sum of money.

The Basement extends: from about the center of the building to its northerly end; is divided into two sections by the center foundation wall. The easterly half of the basement is used for the carpenter shop, general storage, and the silk vault; the silk vault is equipped with bins and shelves and is an ideal vault for its pur- pose—even to the dirt floor; it is naturally lighted from two sides, is finished in white, and is as clean as a whistle. The westerly half of the basement, the other side of the center foundation wall, is not quite as high posted as the easterly half but it is a splendidly equipped general storage room. The Main Basement has entrance by stairway from first floor and by doorway from yard. THE POWER PLANT The Single High Story has a height of post beneath the Engine Room timbers at the walls of 15 ft. 10 in—at the center 20 51x 27 feet ft. 4 in.; the roof is tongued, grooved board and joist construction—monitor top and covered with LOT RIVE slag; the timbers are 12 x Io in.; the window openings are 8 ft. 2 in. x 5 ft—12 in. apart; the floor is stone flagging and brick; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; the sash in the monitor roof are 5 ft. x 30 in.—in gangs and operated from floor by worm gear; the room is light, bright, and a perfect engine room.

Rather than go into more detail as to the fire protection it may be very much simpler to say that the protection has many times passed the inspection of the Associated Mutual Insurance Companies. In the mill yard are several housed post hy- drants—each equipped with fire hose, nozzles, etc. NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Hawthorne Mill— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures.

Lh ft US HOW TO REACH THE YORK MILL York has two railroad stations:—one on the Pennsylvania system—Baltimore division—Northern Central Railway; and one on the Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad—Baltimore to York. PENNSYLVANIA SYSTEM—there are six express trains daily, each way via Lancaster, between Philadelphia and York (93 miles —83 hours); there are twelve express trains daily, each way, be- tween Baltimore and York (57 miles—11/ hours); there are seven express trains daily, each way, between Harrisburg and York (28 miles—46 minutes); there are five trains daily, each way via Lan- caster, between New York City and York (183 miles—6 hours) ; there are twelve express trains daily, each way via Baltimore, be- tween Washington and York (101 miles—23,4 hours). MARYLAND & PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD—there are two trains daily, each way, between Baltimore and York (79 miles—4 hours); there is also a way between York and Baltimore by the Western Maryland Lines. TROLLEY CARS—FROM EITHER STATION From either Railroad Station take any trolley car going to Central Square— if the car does not happen to be a car going west, why transfer at Central Square to any car going west—preferably a car marked “PRR Princess Street’ or a car marked ““M West King.” The two mentioned lines practically pass the mill on one end or the other; the trolley ride between station and mill is fifteen minutes—not half this time by taxi-cab or carriage ; to walk, if done in a leisurely manner, it may take thirty minutes. There are several good hotels at York, Pennsylvania—‘‘The Colonial,’ however, is an exceptionally good hotel. From York to Columbia by train takes 30 minutes; from York to Marietta by train takes 47 minutes—to Marietta by train and trolley car takes about an hour, if close connections are made. 84 YORK— PENNSYLVANIA York, by the U. S. Census 1910, had a population of about 45,000. It is a growing city in every sense of the word—this means in population, in industries, variety of industries, in wealth. As a matter of fact it will be a hard thing to touch a spot in York that isn’t active and growing. It is the third city in industries and manufactures in the State. It is said here without fear of contra- diction that there are 500 different kinds of business carried on within the limits of the city of York. The productions of the in- dustries of the city of York go to the world. The Pennsylvania Railroad system has a principal station at York. So also has the Western Maryland and the Maryland & Pennsylvania. The city of York is managed by a City Government, is in good financial con- dition, assessed valuations are low and the tax rate is low. The City is surrounded by the incorporated Boroughs of West York, North York, Windsor Park, and the residential section of Elmwood. The combined population of the City of York and the Boroughs of West York, North York, Windsor Park and Elmwood is 58,000. The interests of the City of York and the Boroughs of West York, North York, Windsor Park and Elmwood are all a common one and they are practically one community so far as the living is con cerned. The city of York and its Boroughs are in the southeast section of Pennsylvania, 96 miles west from Philadelphia, 56 miles north from Baltimore, 28 miles southeast from Harrisburg, 28 miles west from Lancaster, 58 miles southwest from Reading. The ratio of growth, since the last United States Census, of York has been ereater than for the decade preceding the year 1910. The larger and better known industries are:—The York Manufacturing Co.— the largest manufacturers of ice making machinery in the world; York Dental Supply Co.—manufacturers of artificial teeth (1,000 employees)—-and the largest plant of its kind in the world; S. Morgan Smith, turbine water wheels (500 employees); York Safe & Lock Works; Weaver Piano & Organ Co.; Pullman Automobiles; Martin—Manufacturer of wagons and motor trucks; Joseph Black & Sons Co. Hosiery Plant (800 employees); York Card & Paper Co.; York Wall Paper Co.; A. B. Farquar Co., Ltd., agricultural implements, traction engines, etc., etc.; Black Roofing Co.; Palmers Lime Co.; Sandusky (Portland) Cement Co.; Pennsylvania Textile Co.—comprising York, Diamond and Monarch Mills; New York Wire Cloth Co.; American Caramel Co.; Pfaltzgraff Pottery Co.; York Tack & Nail Works. The City of York and each of the surround- ing Boroughs have organized fire departments and the joint de- partments have up-to-date equipment including motor driven ap- paratus; the City and Boroughs each have police departments— these are equally up-to-date; York is one of the musical centers of the State; the school system is excellent; there are many churches in York and its Boroughs; many of these churches are in a pros- perous condition both financially and from the standpoint of growth; 85 many of the churches, public buildings, houses, and dwellings, are heated and lighted by commercial companies—it is as simple to turn on and off the heat as to turn on and off the electric or gas light; York is a great conventional city for meetings of all kinds and types of societies, musical and other conventions; the water from the city system is exceptional in its purity and softness— this means for mechanical uses as well; there are three daily news- papers—two in the morning and one in the evening, with a com- bined circulation of some 30,000. Excerpts from “Issued by The Chamber of Commerce August 1, 1911” A BIT OF HISTORY OF YORK, PENNSYLVANIA “York, Pennsylvania, was settled by the Germans, in 1729. out in squares for a town, October 17, 1741, with an area of about too acres. Today it has 2,250 acres. In the year 1743, York, then a_ village, consisted of only eleven homes, while today it has over 10,000 homes. The town was named Yorktown, after Yorkshire, England. York originally was a portion of Lancaster county, but a new county called York, with Yorktown as the county seat, was formed in 1749. John Day, Esq., an Engl ish Quaker, held the first court, October 31, 1740. In Centre Square the first court house was erected, in 1756. Phe Continental Congress, being compelled to leave Philadelphia, held its sessions in this building from September 17, 1777, to June 17,1778.) At this time Yori was the capital of this nation. The present court house was erectéd in 1898, it being the third building of its kind in the city and its cost was about $500,000. York was incor- porated as a borough September 24, 1787, and incorporated as a city January 11, 1887. “The first National Thanksgiving Proc- lamation was issued at York. The Articles of Confederation were passed by the Con- tinental Congress at York. The first printing press west of the Susquehanna river was erected at York. The first canal west of the Hudson river was opened near York. The first iron steamboat designed in America was made at York. originally Survey made “In the year 1810 the population of York was only 1,369 and after a lapse of about forty Se viz: in 1850, the population had increased to 6,856. Then came eras of greater prosperity and larger growth. In 1890, the population had increased to 20,793. The next decade, according to the U. S. Census of 1900 was 33,708 a gain of 63 per cent. Today by the U. §. Census (1910) it is 44,754. The previously mentioned census, as. well as the one which followed 10 years later, 1910, shows that York is the Third Diversified Manufacturing City in the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania. Within a radius of twenty-five miles 170,000 people reside. Many of these find happy contented and pros- perous homes on the 7,000 fertile farms and the greater number come to York, as their natural business centre. “Assessed valuation—$25,250,000.; Bonded debt of city—$508,000.; number of separate schools, 1255; number of teachers employed, 182; number of scholars enrolled, about 8,000; annual cost for maintenance, about $180,000. ; this city has a public steam heating plant owned by a corporation, which supplies most of the public buildings and residences with heat, the charge being extremely reasonable; a new federal building that cost about $400,000. INDUSTRIAL ADVANTAGES “Unequaled inducements are_ offered to prospective manufacturers by York. Her natural advantages of location; her electric power, which is supplied at a price which is 25 per cent. lower than it the same power had been generated by steam; her railroad and shipping facilities; her pure water, which is supplied at an extremely low price; her host of contended workmen; her residential and right priced markets, make York one of the most attractive and progressive cities of the United States. New enterprises and new citi- zens are continually taking advantage of her resources. “As stated before, the 1900 and 1910 cen- suses showed that York was the third diver- sified manufacturing city in the State.. “All the industries: off the city “are ex- tremely progressive and busy and it is a well known fact that after _a plant is located here, it is a permanent fixture. With few ex- ceptions, all are prosperous. A large number of these plants are operated by electric power. “The various industries now number about 500. Capital invested amounts to about $18,000,000., employing about 12,000 people. About $10,000,000. raw material, i consumed yearly. The value of manufactured products is about $26,000,000. About $6,500,000. is paid in wages. There are no strikes nor discontented labor. Wages are reasonable and happy homes abound.

The First Floor has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of 11 ft. 9 in.; the timbers are 12 x 14 in.—the floor joists are 12 x 3 in. on 13 in. centers; the upright posts—a single line through the center of the room, 15 ft. apart—are 12 x 12 in.; the window openings are 8 x 5 ft. 6 in—16 and 48 in. apart; the floor is double and lined—diagonally laid; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; the room is naturally lighted from four sides, is absolutely filled with evenly disseminated daylight—although a first floor it is almost as light within as without; this is explained by the fact that there is some 94 ft. of open space within the mill yard on the easterly side of the building, some 160 ft. of open space (except power house) within the mill yard on the westerly side of the building, and 50 and 60 ft. streets at each end; the stair towers, 18 ft. 6 in. x 8 ft., at each end of the building have a direct entrance from street. 87 The Basement has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of Io ft. 6 in.; the timbers are 14 x 12 in.—the floor joists are I2 x 3 in. on 13 in. centers; the upright posts—a single line through the center of the room, 15 ft. apart—are 14 x 12 in., on brick piers; the window openings are 8 x 5 ft. 6 in.—16 and 48 in. apart; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; while the basement is naturally lighted from but three sides it is as bright and light and cheerful and all sufficient to fill any requirement of textile manufacture; the basement occupies 9o ft. at the northerly end of the mill; is equipped with toilet room, etc. Ve ee | The Storage Basement extends from the southerly end of the mill to the Basement; has dirt floor, and is used for storage only; it is divided lengthwise by a center brick and stone cement foundation wall; at one end the height of post beneath the timbers at the walls is Io ft.; at the opposite end it is but 5 ft.; the sprinkler system however, extends the entire length of the basement; it would be an easy matter to excavate this cellar to make an even height of post from one end to the other; both storage basements—either side of center founda- tion wall—have natural light, and have entrances from the regular Basement. The Foundation:—In addition to the four heavy stone and cement walls un- der the four sides of the building there is also a heavy stone and cement center wall support—from end to end. THE MILL The mill is an exceptional, substantial, well built, and modern structure after plans comprising late date conveniences. It is a successful plant, it looks a suc- cessful plant, and is blessed with exceptional employees; it is ideally situated on a somewhat elevated site. ; The Single Story Brick Silk Storage Vault is just east Silk Storage Vault of the northerly end-of the mill building—at the Pop- 15 x 12 feet lar Street front; the windows are vault style—narrow LOT SIX with iron guard rails; the outer door is sheet iron; SICK has natural light, dirt floor, is painted white inside, and equipped on the four sides with silk storage shelv- ing; is heated by steam and equipped with water spray—to preserve an even moisture. THE POWER PLANT The Single High Story Engine Room has a height of Engine Room post beneath the timbers at the walls of 15 ft. 9 in.— 50 x 25 feet from the top of side walls to the bottom of monitor LOT SIX root is © ‘it.ethe timbers are 12 X I0 in.; the window Sick openings are 8 ft. 6 in. x 5 ft. 6 in.; the floor is brick; on the northerly end is a wide triple door opening— with small door entrance; the room is naturally lighted from four sides and from monitor roof; it is an unusually bright and attractive engine room. In the Engine Room are:—Nordberg 80-100 h. p. steam engine, installed new in 1899—a fine engine in fine condition, and a very economical engine to operate; Watertown 40 h. p. horizontal steam engine of considerable age; this engine is belted to a General Electric 800 incandescent light generator—125 volts, 400 amperes, 1020 revolutions; also to a Thomson 400 incandescent light electric generator; switchboard equipped with am and volt meters; a Thom- son-Houston rheostat, nine double throw knife switches, fuse blocks, etc.; Gould 24 x 4 in. belt driven plunger pump—used in connection with the artesian wells; Kelley 4%4 x 5 in. belt driven double plunger boiler feed pump; National No. 30 feed water heater; oil tank, workman’s bench, engine room supplies; and in fact a splendid general engine room equipment. 88 The Single High Story Boiler House adjoins the Boiler House ' Engine Room on the westerly side and has a height 40 x 25 feet of post beneath the timbers at the side walls of 17 LOT SIX ft. 7 in—from the top of the side walls to the bottom of the monitor roof is 3 ft.; the timbers are 12 x 10 in.; the window openings are 8 ft. 3 in. x 5 ft. 6 in.; the floor is concrete and brick; is naturally lighted from three sides; a tidier, cleaner, or lighter boiler room will be hard to find. BRICK In the Boiler House are:—two Coatesville 125 h. p. horizontal tubular boilers—in one battery; each boiler has sixty 4 in. tubes, and is allowed by in- surance inspection 110 pounds pressure; the boilers are equipped with damper regulator, Metropolitan No. 7 injector, brick smoke pipe to the 8o ft. brick chimney ; the boiler room is splendidly supplied with a full complement of general equipment; also has double bench emery grinder, iron blacksmith’s forge; anvil and block, workman’s bench equipped with mechanic’s bench vise; rack “of bolts and nuts, gasoline torch, oil cans, etc., etc.; just outside the Boiler Room building is a boiler iron hot water tank, 18 ft. x 38 in., which takes the returned exhaust steam and primarily heats it for the National feed water heater. COAL Coal for the boilers is delivered at switch of Pennsylvania System within 350 ft. of the boiler house door—costs in boiler house $3. or less per gross ton. MACHINE TOOLS four step cone, 16 in. swing, 8 ft. bed, face plates, National 11 in. four jawed in- dependent chuck, 16 in. four jawed independent face plate chuck, many small hand tools; Millers Falls power hack saw; Barnes 20 in. upright drill, complete— hand and lever feed, chuck, round rise and fall swing table, platen base, self con- tained; heavy wood frame grindstone—present stone 26 x 6 1n.—capacity up to 36 x 14 in. stone; saw table; attached to roof is a double mill whistle. * cat. The Single Story Brick Fire-Proof Pump House has a Underwriter’s Pump = Smith-Vaile Underwriter’s pump 16 x 9g x 12—ca- House pacity up Be (75° eee Bo ne ‘i He floor is cement and the building adjoins the boiler house on ite the westerly side. BRICK RESERVOIR The 40,000 gallon cement and brick reservoir, just outside Underwriter’s pump house, is supplied not only from the driven wells but from the city’s system as well; is directly connected with the Underwriter’s pump, as is the sprinkler system. ; The Single High Story Store House in the southwest Store House corner of the yard—at the corner of Princess and 55 x 24 feet Herman Streets is principally used for general stor- LOT SIX age; one end of it however is systematically arranged FRAME in racks for the storage of Jacquard card patterns; in the southerly end of this store house—at this time— there is stored a general and very useful equipment which comes into almost daily use in the mill. DRIVEN WELLS There are two artesian wells upon the premises :—one a 6 in. well 400 ft. deep and the other a 6 in. well 200 ft. deep; these wells were driven for the purpose of supplying the Power Plant, mill drinking water, and service to the 89 toilet rooms and employees’ sinks—throughout the premises; this supply they fill; no other demand has ever been made upon them; they are very reliable however. STABLE In the northwest corner of the mill yard is a small stable in which is kept a working mule—he is fat and apparently good natured. With the stable will go this mule, the wagons and cart, sets of harness, etc.—the property of the Company. The Land with The York Mill (Lot Six) comprises The Land am area of 67,620esa. ft. (1 55/100/actes) ;-extends 1% Acres from Princess Street—frontage 300 ft. to Poplar Three Street Frontages Street—frontage 300 ft.; faces Herman Street— LOT SIX frontage 226 ft.; extends 300 ft. to the rear boundary line—225 ft.; the mill building is so placed upon the lot that one or even two buildings the size of the present mill building can be erected thereon without disturbing the flood of natural light, circulation of air, and perfect. ventilation. The premises are level and entirely enclosed within white board fence. There is more than 100 ft. of open area between the mill building and the easterly boundary line; there is more than 150 ft. of open area between the mill building and the w ester'ly boundary line at Herman Street— except for the Power Plant: at the northerly boundary line is Popular Street—5o ft. wide; at the southerly boundary line is Princess Street—6o ft. ears ELECTRIC POWER NOW BEING DELIVERED AND TO BE DELIVERED One of the largest water power electrical developments in the country— now approaching completion—-has been under construction, for the past eight years, at McCall’s Ferry east of the city of York. This development now dis- tributes electrical power at Baltimore for electric lighting and for the trolley sys- tems of that city; transmission lines are under construction to deliver this power at York and Lancaster, for the purpose of selling electricity for manufacturing uses. At the present time electrical power is being delivered to manufacturers and others in the city of York from the plant of the York Haven Company at York Haven, Pennsylvania. The new electric power from McCall’s Ferry is coming in aS a competitor against the supply already at hand from York Haven. It has been many times recently demonstrated that the cost of the present electrical power, as sold in York, is at least 20 per cent. under the cost of developing the same power from coal or steam. LOCATION The York Mill extends from Princess to Poplar Street—just west of Over- brook Avenue—in the Borough of West York, in a nest of industries com- prising :—Joseph Black & Sons Co.—hosiery (800 employees); York Wood Working Co.—bank and office furniture; the Martin plant—manufacturers of wagons and motor trucks; the York Corrugating Co.; the Eureka Bending Works; the Pennsylvania Furniture Co.—manufacturers of all kinds of furni- ture ; the Pfaltzgraff Pottery Co.; the Sandusky (Portland) Cement Co.; the Souter Silk Mill; the Henry, Mill lard & Henry Co.—machine and gasoline engine works; the York Card & Paper Co.; the :York Wall’ Paper: Co. ; the Dental Supply Co.; and the Black Paper Co. The growth in the immediate vicinity of the York Mill—when told—sounds like a fairy tale because of the fact that brick blocks—individual houses—comprising some six or seven hun- dred homes have been erected in much less than ten years’ time, yes! and each of these houses is practically owned by individuals. In other words there are no tenements or boarding houses within the neighborhood—the occupants of each house are largely the owners of the same. Three sides of the property have practically reached the limit of improvement and the fourth side which has considerable of an elevation is now being reduced for the immediate de- velopment or building of brick blocks containing 200 houses. 90 LABOR The labor of York is famously native in character—a truly English speak- ing community. Up to date the supply of labor has practically increased with the growth of the industries. The diversity of the industries of York and the demand for the skilled artisan—and his family—have brought together an un- usual community; the foundation of the original settlement was Holland Dutch. York is one of the oldest settlements in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and it was the resort of the early officials of the Continental Government. LIVING EXPENSES IN YORK House rents are very cheap—for good brick houses, in blocks of houses (no tenements)—the rents vary from $9.00 and $10.00 to $20.00 per month; every one of these houses have modern conveniences :—including bath room, electric light and gas; steam, hot water, or furnace heat; are in excellent neighbor- hoods. Understand please that this district is new, the sidewalks are granolithic, the streets are rapidly being macadamized or asphalt paved. There is an open market in York every day except Monday and all families buy direct from the farmers at these open markets, hence the low cost of everything that comes from the farm, including :—poultry, lamb and meats; the cost of merchandise in the stores upon the streets is especially low in comparison with other cities. FIRE PROTECTION In addition to the Smith-Vaile Underwriter’s pump all the main buildings are protected by sprinkler system; arrangements have been made to connect this sprinkler system with the city water system of York which has a gravity pressure at this site of 63 pounds; at present this sprinkler system is connected with tanks on towers of the mill; in the mill yard are three post hydrants (housed) con- nected directly with the city water system’s 12 in. main. Each hose house is provided with 200 ft. of rubber lined cotton hose equipped with nozzles. TOBACCO The U. S. Internal Revenue receipts for stamps for cigars manufactured - in York County—within a radius of twelve miles of the City of York—was $1,700,275.94; York County manufactures more cigars than any other one county in the United States; cigars manufactured in this country in the year 1912 numbered over 350,000,000—fully 150,000,000 of this number were manu- factured within the limits of the city of York. COUNTY FAIR The York County Fair is held on very extensive grounds—most up-to-date in buildings and other equipment—yearly; the Fair lasts a week and the atten- dance for the week averages over 50,000 daily. NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The York Miull— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light ‘within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures. 91 EQUIPMENT IN DETAIL THE YORK MILL LOT SIX THE MILL FIRST FLOOR WINDING DEPARTMENT Eight A & B 128 spindle skein winding frames, complete—each equipped with swifts; A & B “Morrison type’ 60 spindle doubling frame, complete; A & B 16 spindle special cotton winding frame, complete—equipped with swifts, winds from skein to spools.

NOTE :—The loom equipment of the third floor has been almost universally used for tie silks—for this work this loom equipment is perfect; it is equally good for dress goods—as a matter of fact it 1s equipped to do any work, its most successful work however is with the lighter pro- ducts; with the exception of four, every loom in the room has an over- head equipment for Jacquard machine or dobby. The room is naturally lighted from four sides and notwithstanding the fact that there is extensive overhead work for the installation of the Jacquard ma- chines and the dobbies yet it is full of natural light—a bright and cheerful work 94 room—such a thing as using artificial light, during daylight hours is unknown here; the floor is supplied with porcelain lined iron sinks; both artesian well and city system running water; toilet and store rooms, etc.; in the southwest corner is set up a Royle “piano” Jacquard card cutting machine; overhead are Jacquard card storage racks; in the stair towers are workmen’s benches—storage closets beneath and mechanic's bench vise on top; overhead closets, ete.

NOTE :—The loom equipment on the second floor of the York Mill ts first class in type and condition; there is no better type of loom for Jacquard work than the box looms on this floor. As a matter of fact the entire equip- ment for all figured work cannot be excelled—this certainly 1s at least the belief of the owners who are manufacturers of long experience. In the towers are workmen's benches—drawers and closets beneath and mechanic's bench vise on top; the room is naturally lighted from four sides; and because of the unobstructed open space about the mill—mill yard on two sides and public streets at both ends—there is always 1 circulation of air; while overhead there is much extensive work for the requirements of the Jacquard machines and the dobbies the room never- theless is full of natural light, free from shadows, and extremely bright; the floor is supplied with running water both from artesian well and city system; also two porcelain lined sinks, toilet and store rooms, guard screens to lower sash of windows, and mill room clock, etc. BASEMENT WEAVING SIXTY-EIGHT LOOMS Starting at northwest corner :—twenty-six Mason 32 in. plain looms (337), (335)4)''(333)s (332). 334 eee ao.

PENNSYLVANIA SYSTEM—there are six trains daily each way, between Lancaster and Columbia (12 miles—30 minutes) ; there are six express trains daily, each way via Lancaster, between Philadelphia and Columbia (80 miles—234 hours)—again from Columbia by trolley car to Lancaster is but twelve miles and there are express trains nearly every hour daily, each way, between Lan- easter and Philadelphia; there are six trains daily, each way, be- tween York and Columbia (13 miles—29 minutes); there are four trains daily, each way via York, between Baltimore and Columbia (70 miles—23,4 hours)—again from Columbia by trolley car to York is but thirteen miles and there are express trains nearly every hour daily, each way, between York and Baltimore; there are two trains daily, each way via Perryville, between Baltimore and Col- umbia (80 miles—314 hours); there are three trains daily, each way, between Harrisburg and Columbia (28 miles—68 minutes). THE READING SYSTEM—there are three trains daily, each way, between Reading and Columbia (45 miles—2 hours). BY TROLLEY CAR Columbia is on the Conestoga System of trolley cars—passenger and freight—half hourly service to Marietta, Lancaster, Coatesville, and Phila- delphia; also hourly connections via Wrightsville for York. From the railroad station of the Pennsylvania System take the Marietta trolley car (five minutes ride) and get out at the corner of North Third Street or at the mill; from The Reading Station walk one block on Front Street to Walnut Street and take the Marietta trolley car and leave the car as just before mentioned; from the busi- ness center take Belt Line trolley car to the Pennsylvania Station and change to the Marietta car which passes The Columbia Mills on Cedar Street at the corner of North Third Street; the Belt) Line trolley ‘cars run every ifteen minutes, and the Marietta car leaves the station on the hour and on the hali hour. TO WALK The Columbia Mills are within fifteen minutes walk from either railroad station :—from the Pennsylvania Station walk up Walnut Street to Third Street and out Third Street to the Mill; from The Reading Station walk up Locust Street to Third Street and out Third Street to the mill; from the business center, within ten minutes walk—-and this means from hotels, stores, banks, postofhce, ete.—walk directly out North Third Street to the mill. COLUMBIA — PENNSYLVANIA Columbia is in the western part of Lancaster County—conceded to be the garden spot of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; it had a population by the U. S. Census 1910 of 11,454—today the population is believed to equal 13,000; is a Pennsylvania Borough, is administered by a council of eight men and a burgess, the borough has the repute of being well administered, has an assessed valiiation of $3,692,307., a gross indebtedness of $91,000.—bonded at 31,4 per cent., and has $4000. idle cash in its treasury; the assessed valuations are very low, and the combined borough, school, county and state tax on this very low valuation is but $19.50 per $1000. Columbia has its own gravity system of water—modern filtration system; fire department comprising steamers, chemical trucks, hose carriages, hook and ladder truck, etc.—installed in their own fire department houses; the graded schools including the High School are in charge of some forty or fifty teachers—a certificate of gradua- ton from the High School is sufficient for admission to a number of colleges and to all the Normal Schools of the state; it has an ex- ceptionally good hospital; two telephone systems—one underground ; there is a local telephone system installed by the residents of Col- umbia which extends to Harrisburg, Reading, Philadelphia, Down- ingtown, Coatesville, Lancaster, Lebanon and York; electric light and power plant; the necessity for a day police force has been per- fectly fulfilled by the employment of one uniformed man—at night the necessity for watchmen has been exceedingly slight. Volumes may be written to the credit of Columbia, but no more can be said to its credit than has been said in this last sentence.

Following the decision of The Ashley & Bailey Company upon voluntary liquidation and retirement from business and the disposal of their manufacturing properties at unrestricted public sale they determined not to close down any of the plants until after the day of sale— at least. Not to close down meant—so far as possible—the preservation intact of the organi- zation of each plant. The reservation of the right to have completed the merchandise in pro- cess at the time of the passing of the deed to each plant must mean a lot to the purchaser of each plant for the simple reason that it will keep his mill and its organization at work—un- der pay—while he is preparing and making ready for his own manufactures. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 1913 Promptly at One O’clock in the Afternoon A LARGE TEXTILE PLANT In Daily Operation REAL ESTATE THE COLUMBIA MILLS LOT SEVEN IMPORTANT One of the great arguments in favor of the Columbia property and one of the great points of strength in its location, is the practically unlimited supply of English speaking native born labor that is contented, satisfied and happy, attends to business and apparently enjoys its work; and above all things the labor is faithful. The trolley car conveniences from Columbia cover Read- ing, Allentown, Easton, York, Marietta, Lancaster, etc., etc., etc. Because of these extensive trolley car con- nections into the country from Columbia there is much help in the agricultural districts that prefers to come into The Columbia Mills to work—this is exceptionally high class help, too. . tae The Third (Top) Floor has a height of post beneath Main Building-North the timbers at the walls of 11 ft. 6 in—from the 168 x 43 feet top of the walls to the peak of the roof is 3 ft. 6 in.; LOT SEVEN the roof is board and joist construction—tin covered ; THREE STORIES the upright posts—a single line through the center BRICK of the room, 15 ft.

LABOR There never has been a time from the starting of The Columbia Mills up to the present date when all the labor of any kind or nature that the mills re- quired was not at hand; Mr. Knowles the Superintendent says that the type and quality of labor at this mill is exceedingly good—yes, and he repeats “‘it can't be beat.’’ One thing is absolutely certain—all the labor, male and female, that the mills require is undoubtedly there awaiting the opportunity to go to work. There is not a textile mill of any description nearer than five miles (Marietta) or Lancaster (12 miles) Wor eYork (12 miles)?” Pherevare some thirteen hundred male employees in the larger manufacturing industries at Columbia and the female and younger members of their families look to the Columbia Silk Mills and the Columbia Lace Co. for employment. It will be rather a task for anybody to successfully criticise the location of this mill from the standpoint of labor. In the first place, the community is almost wholly native born, the entire community is practically an English speaking people. It is not in any degree deviating from the truth to state that labor trouble or strife is unknown and unheard of at Columbia; that whatever work the em- ployees of The Columbia Mills are called upon to do within reason is willingly and faithfully performed. Labor works 10% hours per day or 57 hours per week—closing down at 12.45 p. m. on Saturdays. TELEPHONE The premises are equipped with a Western Electric twelve station inter- communicating telephone system—now set up with six stations. RUNNING BROOK In the basement of the Main Building-Center—just off the Annex—is a sunken brick lined pit; in this pit is a Gould 7 x-8 triplex belt driven pump— connected by heavy 3 in. steel pipe—with reservoir in lower mill yard; this pump takes the brook water from this reservoir and delivers it into an over-head tank which serves as a gravity water supply to the boilers; the reservoir is supplied with soft water that is particularly adapted to boiler use, from a never failing running brook. FIRE PROTECTION The entire fire protection of The Columbia Mills has several times passed the tests and inspection of the Associated Mutual Insurance Companies. The Knowles 1,000 gallon underwriter’s pump is directly connected with the sprinkler system; also with the 45,000 gallon sunken brick and cement reservoir—located 110 THE COLUMBIA MILLS —LOT SEVEN — COLUMBIA, PENNSYLVANIA See ew oe oe, Columbia Hospital PANORAMIC VIEW OF COLUMBIA FROM CHICKIES PARK Susauehanna River Bridge 1!4 Miles Long—Connecting Columbia and Wrightsville LOT SEVEN—The Columbia Silk Mills Main Building-North LOT SEVEN Main Building-West Main Building-Center Wage-earners’ Two-family Brick Homes Conestoga Trolley Line Operatives’ Homes Cedar Street The Columbia Silk Mills Office Building SeyTo Marietta To Lancasterpas> Cedar Street Main Building-South LOOKING DOWN NORTH THIRD STREET > = Main Building-West Main Building-South Linden Street Main Building-Center Office Building LOT SEVEN—THE COLUMBIA SILK MILLS—LOOKING FROM THE SOUTHWEST—(THE FRONT) Main Building-Center Stable and Storag2 Power Plant—Engine Room, Power House, and Electric Lighting Plant LOT SEVEN—THE COLUMBIA SILK MILLS—LOOKING FROM THE NORTHEAST (REAR) Main Building-North Engine Room ean .

NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Columbia Mills— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures.

NOTE :—It ts the opinion of Mr. Wilkinson Knowles, the Superintendent of the Columbia Mills, in his own words :—“That there 1s not better help for plain and fancy silk weaving—of all descriptions—in any mill in the country.” In other words expert weavers from some of the best plants in the country come to this mill and invariably show to dts- advantage—side by side—with the regular employees; im another way, weavers from the Columbia Mills go out to the larger silk plants of the country, whose reputations for fine and high class weaving 1s well known, yet this help from the Columbia Mills again shows to advantage —side by side with expert weavers. 119 s All the machine equipment at the Columbia Mills—whether it be winding, warping, quilling, or loom—is absolutely in fine repair and prime condition—with a large percentage of box looms; many of the looms have been widened and rebuilt—this is particularly true of the 40 in. looms; the entire equipment for fancy work is good; the Columbia Mills are particularly a fancy silk mill, have won repute as a tie silk mill, the entire equipment for that work is modern —and because of the rare quality and unusual skill of its help is ina comfortable position in business as a manufacturing plant today; the buildings are solid and substantial, in good repair, and wonder- fully naturally lighted; all interior walls and ceilings are white, the rooms are pleasant and cheerful; the location is good; the elec- tric lighting is up to the minute—several of the departments are equipped with Tungsten lamps; with streets on three sides, open areas more or less about the mills, the buildings somewhat exten- sive, it will be hard to criticize from this standpoint; the supplies upon the premises for the several departments are liberal in amount and there can be no just criticism forthcoming from this standpoint; the Columbia plant is the only northern plant of The Ashley & Bailey Company that is fully equipped to manufacture from the raw material—hard and soft silk—less the finishing and dyeing; should there be a desire upon the part of the new owners to add finishing and dyeing departments to the plant the opportunity awaits them there; should artesian well water be needed for any purpose upon the premises existing driven wells now there are prima facie evi- dence that the water may be had. SILK WASH ROOM Adjoining the silk vault—at right angles—is a brick building 28 x 12 ft. that is used for the washing of the raw silk and is equipped with a Schaum & Uhlinger self balancing overhead belt driven hydro extractor, equipped with 4O in. copper basket; two four-section wash tubs—each section equipped with running water and live steam; boiler iron tank—for preparing the liquor for washing the raw silk; galvanized iron soap mixing box—on iron frame; stock bins—with canvas tops, for sorting silk; Duparquett, Huot & Momeuse oil filter. PACKING ROOM Oak roll top desk; set Fairbank’s No. 11 platform scales; an A & B “Elliot & Hall type” folding machine, complete—capacity up to 51 in. goods; cloth coun- ters—beneath drawers and closets; cloth benches, overseers’ desks, measuring tables, shipping tables, etc., etc., etc., etc. SHAFTING, BELTING, AND PULLEYS The equipment of shafting, belting, pulleys, etc., etc., etc., etc., is in great abundance, is in prime condition, is modern in type, and is all very desirable— whether in use or in surplus. What is said here of the shafting, belting, pulleys, etc., etc., etc., etc., of The Columbia Mills is equally true in the case of every plant described in this catalogue. 120 ® There is much reason to believe that the real estate and power plant of several of the Ashley & Bailey properties if separated from the equipment are in demand for other manufactur- ing purposes than as at present used. Several prospective purchasers for one or the other of these manufacturing realties have felt that the fact that they were full of equipment—that would be of no use to them—made their purchase insurmountable. Under these circumstances it may not be considered an act of presumption upon the part of the Auctioneers to state that from any experience they have had in the dis- posal of mill equipment in the last twenty or thirty years in seventeen different states of this country, there is every reason to believe that the machinery, mechanical equipment, etc., etc., at either of the plants of The Ashley & Bailey Company if properly managed, handled, and pledged at an absolute auction sale to the highest bona fide bidders—in lots to suit pur- chasers—within sixty days of the sale of the plant, could be advantageously sold and would yield a substantial sum of money. & HOW TO REACH THE MARIETTA MILL There are three trains in and two trains out daily between Marietta and Columbia (4 miles—13 minutes); there are three _ trains in and two trains out daily between Marietta and Lancaster (16 miles—43 minutes); there are three trains in and two trains out daily, via Lancaster, between Marietta and Philadelphia (84 miles—3 1/3 hours); there are two trains in and three trains out daily between Marietta and Harrisburg (20 miles—53 minutes) ; there are three trains in and two trains out daily, via Columbia— trolley or train, to York (17 miles—90 minutes).

BY TROLLEY CAR Marietta is on the Conestoga System of trolley cars—passenger and freight— extending from Marietta to Columbia, Lancaster, as far east as Coatesville, and there making connections for Philadelphia—half hourly service; also hourly connections via Wrightsville for York. The mill is on Pine Street, just off Second Street (principal street of the borough), and is easily within fifteen minutes comfortable walk or less of either the railroad station, the trolley system, or the river landing. 122 MARIETTA — PENNSYLVANIA Marietta is a Pennsylvania Borough, is in Lancaster County, is on the Susquehanna river, is on the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania Railroad; by the United States Census of 1910, the population was 2079; in September, 1912, Marietta celebrated its centennial or one hundredth anniversary; the surrounding towns or close environment of Marietta include:—the township of East Donegal with a population by the United States Census 1910 of 1285; Newton with a population by the United States Census 1910 of 1675; Mount Joy with a population by the United States Census 1910 of 2166—within these townships or boroughs are comprised the villages of:—Maytown with some 800 population, Rowena (Shock’s) with some 300 population, and Ironville with some 300 population. On the opposite side of the Susquehanna river from Marietta—in the county of York—but three miles distant is the town of Wrightsville with a population by the United States Cen- sus 1910 of 2071; the Borough of Columbia with a population by the United States Census 1910 of 11,454 is but four miles away.

Marietta Borough is managed by a government of nine councilmen and a burgess; the Borough debt is very, very small—about three thousand dollars; the assessed valuations are very low; the tax rate including the borough, school, state, and county tax, is but $19. per $1000.; the village has a gravity water system fed from springs in the York County Hills; the fire protection is by hydrant system with an average gravity water pressure of 85 lbs.; the entire police re- quirements of the village are fully protected and taken care of by two constables—neither of whom is burdened with work; the graded school system of Marietta has high repute and a certificate of graduation from the High School admits to all Normal Schools of the state; there are seven separate denominational churches or chapels; there is more than one hotel—the Cross Keys hotel being a very comfortable village hostelry; there are some forty stores— large and small—in the business center, they cover the entire range of shopping and will average up in character with the better village stores; there is a National Bank—The First National; a State Bank—The Exchange Bank; there are many summer resorts on the opposite side of the Susquehanna river from Marietta, includ- ing:—Round Top—in the foot hills of the Blue Mountains; Ac- comac—at the river shore; Wild Cat—also at the river shore. 123 MEMORANDA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 1913 Promptly at Three O’clock in the Afternoon — or Earlier Yes Upon the Premises A TEXTILE PLANT With Extraordinary Conditions For Individual Ownership Or A Two-Member Partnership In Daily Operation REAL ESTATE THE MARIETTA MILL LOT EIGHT IMPORTANT It is very doubtful if in all the United States a more ideal spot and location could have been found to have located a high class, independent, individual, tex- tile industry of ordinary size; the location from the standpoint of labor, environment, general conditions, help, cost of living, character of community, railroad conveniences, trolley car conveniences, in fact all sur- roundings taken together are most unusual. In a territory spreading five miles to the east, twelve miles to the west, nine miles to the north, and sixteen miles to the south; well populated with township, borough, and village—essentially native born and country bred com- munities—and more or less connected one section with another by either trolley system, train, or both; where the industries, with a single exception, employ only men—such is the place where The Marietta Mull is located.

It is used at present for winding, warping and quilling. The Basement Extends the entire length of the building between the south and center foundation walls; has a height of post beneath the timbers at the walls of 6 ft. 4 inthe floor joists are 12 x 3 in. on 12 in. centers; the floor is granolithic for half the length; the walls are white and so is the ceiling; there is an entrance from the street level at Pine Street ; a stairway down from the first floor with entrance direct from the mill yard; there is a cement floor storage shelf for half the length of the basement; the basement is naturally lighted from one long side and two ends; as a matter of fact it is naturally and well lighted— and free from the need of artificial light during daylight hours. The basement floor 1s the headquarters for all the mill supplies. The Stair Tower is 19 ft. 3 in. x 9 ft. 2 in.; each floor is equipped with modern toilet rooms, is naturally lighted from two sides, has employees’ sinks, running artesian well water, etc. The Foundation:—In addition to the four heavy stone and cement walls un- der the four sides of the building there is also a heavy stone and cement center wall support—from end to end.

DRIVEN WELL An artesian well 6 in. in diameter and 80 ft. deep furnishes all the water supplied and required upon the premises—even to the fire protection. This well as a matter of fact is a greater supply of water than the premises demand—and what its capacity is nobody knows. It has been operated 10% hours every working day since the mill was started in 1896, and is yet to show the first sign or symptom of the slighest lack of supply; the water is pure at all times; it is raised by. an A & B deep well pump and delivered to a 45,000 gallon brick and cement sunken reservoir in the mill yard; also to a 14,000 gallon tank on the top of the mill tower. The Land with The Marietta Mill (Lot Eight) com- The Land prises an area of 50,843 sq. ft. (1 1/6 acres) ; faces 1 1-6 Acres Pine Street—frontage 155 ft.; extends from the pro- Surrounded by Streets posed extension of Third Street to Prospect Alley— LOT EIGHT with frontages of 323 and 324 ft. respectively; ex- tends back to Spruce Street (not open)—frontage 159 ft.; it lies level, is neatly laid out to lawn, has much foliage, and is very prettily - kept; the extension of Third Street on the northerly side of the mill is 60 ft. wide, Pine Street in front of the mill is 60 ft. wide, the mill is 113 ft. from Pros- pect Alley (16 ft.) on the south side of the lot, the easterly boundary line is 110 ft. from the east end of the mill—at Spruce Street; in other words the present mill can be extended in a straight line rio ft. or a parallel mill can be erected of equal size of the present mill or even 110 ft. longer; the extension of the present mill or the erection of a new mill as just mentioned will not in any way disturb or interfere with the present unobstructed access to either building upon the premises of natural light, circulation of air, or open ventilation. INDUSTRIES In addition to The Marietta Mill, there are at Marietta the plants of:— The Marietta Casting Company—manufacturers of hollow iron ware, water coolers, etc., etc-—100 employees; the Marietta Hollow Ware and Enamelling Company—125 employees; The National Ore Separator Co.—manufacturers of ore separators, etc., etc—25 employees; new Marietta Brass & Iron Foundry— buildings now under construction—to start with 20 employees; The Doctor H. M. Alexander Vaccine & Anti-Toxine Farm—one of the highest type in- dustries of its kind in America—1o00 employees; the Marietta Cigar Factory— 35 employees; B. F. Hiestand & Sons Lumber Yards and Planing Mill—one of . the largest lumber operators in Pennsylvania—4o employees. The only employ- ment for women and girls in all the families of this vast territory, comprising five miles east, twelve miles west, nine miles north, and sixteen miles south, is the Marietta Mill and the Dr. Alexander Vaccine Farm; in other words, the labor conditions are perfect. LABOR The labor conditions for a textile mill at Marietta are perfect because of the character and intelligence of the employees; they have become exceptionally . skilled, and it is a mooted question among those who know, if there is a more skilled lot of silk workers outside the state of New Jersey in this country today; they cheerfully perform all duties and do not hesitate to perform any work that they are called upon to do. The community of Marietta is with rare exception a native born one; generally speaking a law abiding one, in fact a self respecting genteel people; a peculiarity of Marietta is the almost universal ownership of the home by the family occupying it; it is not an unusual thing at Marietta that the erowing up young man and young woman look forward to the day when they will go to The Marietta Mill for employment; such a thing as labor agitation or trouble in the Ashley & Bailey Mill is unheard of and unknown. There are industries in Marietta Borough that employ from three to four hundred men, the female vorkers of these families must look to the Marietta Mill or the Doctor Alexander 128 : THE MARIETTA MILL — LOT EIGHT — MARIETTA, PENNSYLVANIA VIEW FROM MILL ROOF—SHOWING MARIETTA AND THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER hird Street Prospect Alley iid aya sede ~ aa ae io = Se ® . ome ee | is At bri tet OE ee roth Pine Street The Mill—Looking from the Southwest The Power Plant Store House nicl i: Proposed Extension The Mill—Looking from the Northwest Power Plant LOT EIGHT — 4 of Third Street LOT EIGHT Pine Street Power Plant Silk Vault The Mill—Looking from the Southeast LOT EIGHT THE ENGINE ROOM THE BOILER ROOM Silk Vault Corner of Power Plant EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR VIEWS — LOT EIGHT CIVIL ENGINEER'S PLAN ON OTHER SIDE =< i THE MARIETTA MILL — LOT EIGHT — MARIETTA, PENNSYLVANIA VIEW FROM MILL ROOF—SHOWING MARIETTA AND THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER hird Street =“ Prospect Alley falda ? on : cares g from » Northwe P r Plant Pine Street The Mill—Looking from the Southwest The Power Plant Store House “ er ee Proposed Extensio The Mill—Looking from the Nortt st owe a eee LOT EIGHT a 4 of Third Street LOT EIGHT ine Stree Power Plant Silk Vault The Mill—Looking from the Southeast LOT EIGHT THE ENGINE ROOM THE BOILER ROOM Silk Vault Corner of .

FIRE PROTECTION The fire protection at the Marietta Mill has several times passed the test of the Associated Mutual Insurances Companies; the sprinkler system is supplied by a 14,000 gallon tank on top of the mill tower—the bottom of the tank is .14 ft. above the highest sprinkler in the mill; the Buffalo Underwriter’s pump is directly connected with a 45,000 gallon brick and cement sunken reservoir just outside the pump house; the yard is supplied with housed post hydrants, each equipped with some 200 tt. of rubber lined cotton hose, fire nozzles, ete. NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Marietta Mill— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures.

THE READING SYSTEM—There are three trains daily, each way, between Reading and Coatesville (40 miles—1 2/3 hours) ; there are four trains daily, each way, between Wilmington (Del.) and Coatesville (83 miles—11/, hours). BY TROLLEY CAR It is not more than twenty minutes comfortable walk from either the Pennsylvania System or Reading System passenger stations to The Coatesville Mill; from the Pennsylvania station go South on Third Avenue to Main Street and out West Main Street to Strode Avenue and the mill. From the Reading station go North on First Avenue and out West Main Street to Strode Avenue and the mill. Any trolley car on Main Street going West marked “Lancaster” or “Parkesburg”’ goes Strode Avenue to within 300 ft. of the mill; by taxi-cab from railroad station to mill it is possibly a seven minutes ride. | 134 COATESVILLE — PENNSYLVANIA Coatesville is on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad between Philadelphia and Harrisburg—thirty-eight miles from Philadelphia and sixty-five miles from Harrisburg; is on the main line of The Reading System between Reading and Wilmington (Del.)—forty miles from Reading and thirty-three miles from Wilmington; is on the Conestoga system of trolley cars between Lancaster and Coatesville; is a terminal of the West Chester sys- tem of trolley cars of Philadelphia. Coatesville first of all is a health- ful community—and this is beyond question; it is right in the center of one of the best agricultural districts in the commonwealth— known as Chester Valley; is a Pennsylvania borough, is on the famous and historic Brandywine stream; by the United States Cen- sus 1900 the population was between five and six thousand, by the United States Census 1910 it was 11,095—ttoday it is 13,000 plus; it is not only a rapidly growing community in population but it is growing equally fast in importance and from a business stand- point; four-fifths of the community are native born and English speaking—the balance are recent immigration; Coatesville borough is governed by a council of seven and a burgess; the assessed valua- tion is over $5,000,000—the entire liabilities, however, do not exceed $165,000.; the assessed valuation of property usually proves to be two-thirds of its selling value; the entire tax rate—for borough, schools, county, and state—is but $15.50 per $1,000. which when taken in connection with the low assessed valuation is a remarkably low tax rate, to say the least; has its own filtered water system delivering water direct from pumping station to the borough main, and connected reservoir surplus of one million gallons—average gravity pressure 45 lbs.; the pressure at The Coatesville Mill is 58 lbs.—when the pumps are running this pressure increases to 64 Ibs.; the school system has repute throughout the state, comprises all grades, through the High School whose certificate of gradua- tion is accepted for entrance to the State Normal Schools; the latest school building—graded school—is now under construction at a cost of $65,000.; all denominational churches are practically repre- sented at Coatesville—these churches are well attended and fairly well off financially; the inhabitants of Chester County—of which Coatesville borough is a part—are a very temperate and abstemious people; the shopping and trading section has up to. date stores; the borough owns and maintains its own fire department apparatus: the police department is under the charge of the burgess and its utmost necessities require but seven officers—for day and night work—including the head of the department; there are two com- fortable and clean hotels; there are two National Banks and a Trust and Savings Company; the business streets are brick paved or Telford macadam—many of the streets of the borough are also macadam; Coatesville is certainly an active and energetic com- munity—and this will be apparent to the stranger the moment he enters the borough; there are four good, clean, and distinct sea- sons—a fall, a spring, a summer, and a winter. EXHIBITION TEN EXHIBITIONS The premises of the ten separate and dis- tinct properties will be thrown open for exam- ination and inspection daily commencing the last Monday morning in September or the fifteen days next preceding the first day of sale. Should an earlier inspection of the first five plants be desired arrangements so to do can be made through the office of the Auctioneers. cy SALE TEN SALES The sale of each property will take place upon the premises—except Lot One, Lot Two, and Lot Three—regardless of any condition of the weather promptly at the allotted time. The sale of Lot One, Lot Two, and Lot Three, will take place in the Warehouse Building (Lot Four).

The Foundation :—In addition to the four heavy stone and cement walls un- der the four sides of the building there is also a heavy stone and cement center wall support—from end to end. Silk Storage Vault The Single Story structure is divided into two sec- 30 x 20 feet tions—equipped with concrete floors, floor and wall LOT NINE shelving, raw stock soaking tubs, etc.; has entrance direct from mill yard and also by bridge from first Ce floor of mill. THE POWER PLANT Engine Room The Single High Story has a height of post at the side walls beneath the timbers of 17 ft—from the top of 60 x 35 feet the side walls to the bottom of the monitor roof is 5 LOT NINE ft.; the window openings are 8 x 5 ft. 9Q in’ and 8 x 4 BRICK ft. 4 in.—alternating 32 and 40 in. apart; the floor is concrete; the room is naturally lighted from three full sides and from the monitor roof; the walls are white, and so is the ceiling; like the other engine rooms of the Ashley & Bailey plants it is wonderfully clean, tidy, light and well ventilated.

COAL Coal is delivered practically at the boiler house door—being dumped from car on spur track trestle. PURCHASABLE POWER Another matter that is worthy of some considerable attention just now is nearing completion, namely:—the immense water power development plant at McCall’s Ferry, Pennsylvania, which is expected to develop one of the greatest 138 horse powers in this country. The wires to transmit this power are now being erected through Lancaster County and are approaching Chester County (Coates- ville). The contracts for delivering this electric horse power are now being dis- cussed at very low rates within its distributing limits. The Conestoga Trolley System, the trolley cars of which pass within 300 ft. of the Coatesville mill door, expect to be operated with this power within a very short time. Underwriter’s Pump In the Pump House is a Deane (Holyoke) 18% x House LO Aexel2 underwriter’s pump—capacity up to 1,000 gallons per minute; there is a direct entrance to ER ESS Pump House from the mill yard LOT NINE ; bt BRICK Two Family Brick = On Strode Avenue at the corner of Valley Road—the House _ northwest corner of the premises—numbered 141 and 42x 42 feet 143 Strode Avenue is a double brick house—for two LOT NINE families ; each house has six rooms, a room set off for a bath room, and a cellar; it is rented to two of the loom-fixers employed in the mill; was erected in 1902, is in first class condition, is lighted by gas and has other conveniences.

STORIES | BRICK The Driven Well Pump House is equipped with an A & B deep well pumping system connected with a Driven Well Pump House driven well 4 in. in diameter and 104 ft. deep. The 6 x 6 feet artesian water from this well at the present time is LOT NINE used only for drinking purposes—the capacity of the BRICK well, however, is not known as it has met every de- mand ever made upon it by the mill. The water for the boilers is taken from the race-way parallel with and south of Sucker Run. DRIVEN WELL There is also a driven well upon the premises that has been sunk to a depth of 300 ft. that gives promise of a great flow of water, but the necessities have not required its use up to date—hence it has not been equipped. If for any reason the Underwriter’s pump should be disconnected with the aforementioned race-way this well would then be of service. The yard is provided with hydrant system which is well supplied with rubber lined cotton hose and fire nozzles. The-Land with The Coatesville Mill (Lot Nine) com- The Land prises an area of 160,000 sq. sit. (3 2/3-acres)sidees 3 2-3 Acres Strode Avenue—frontage 400 ft.; extends 400 ft. to Two Street Frontages - the rear boundary line—4oo ft. wide; has a frontage LOT NINE on Valley Road of 400 ft.—in other words is 400 ft. square; the buildings are parallel with and at the southerly side of the lot—-end to Strode Avenue; without the additions of an- other square foot of land there is opportunity to erect one or more buildings upon the lot—the size of the present building—and have at least 80 ft. of open space between either two of these buildings and from 86 to 45 ft. of open space _at the end of. each of the three buildings. The land offers room for the duplica-, tion or triplication of the present mill building without destroying the effect of the natural light, circulation of air, ventilation, etc., to either of the said build- ings. The Power Plant was installed large eriough and good enough to deliver the necessary horse power to operate the machinery and mechanical equipment in two additional mill buildings. LOCATION The Coatesville Mill is located in the west end of Coatesville borough— and. this section is growing faster than any other part of the borough—the principal growth is in houses and homes of the artisan and wage earner. INDUSTRIES The industries are principally iron and steel and among the largest of these is the Lukens Iron & Steel Co.—2,000 employees; Worth Bros. Steel Company manufacturers of boiler plate, tubes, and fire box iron, ete.—3500 employees (pay roll often $65,000 in two weeks) ; other industries are Rowe Motor Co.— automobiles and trucks; Coatesville Foundry and Machine Co.—hboilers and machinery; Ridgeway Co.—castings of every description, also the Ridgeway Hydraulic Frame; Coatesville Boiler Works; ‘Downward Phosphate Works; Hartranft Phosphate Works; etc., etc., etc. LABOR . The most conspicuous point about the labor at The Coatesville Mill 1s de- votion to its work; there is more than help enough always at hand to run the mill to its utmost capacity; all this labor is English speaking and native born; all weavers in The Coatesville Mill with a single exception are females—this of - course is well understood to be the best help for silk weaving. The cost of labor at The Coatesville Mill is less than possible anywhere else in a mull of its character; this labor is punctual to begin work and possesses the characteristic of remaining at work to the very last minute. Another corelative feature of strong importance right here at this site is this:—there are employed in the iron and steel works many Slavs. with no employment in sight for the women and girls of their families. Should this property be doubled in size, weaving de- partments could be established to employ these women and girls exclusively from knowledge possessed by Mr. Schaub, the Superintendent of The Coatesville Mill, very effective work could be gotten from them and in time they would excel in skill and their employment would be a great saving in wages, The borough is free from labor organization and agitation—there has not been a labor disturbance for twenty-five years. Almost every industry of Coatesville employs men help only—for this reason there is an abundance of female help which in many instances has to seek employment outside the borough; The Coatesville Mill is the only textile industry within a radius of thirty miles—it has its choice of help. Labor from nearby towns—which are connected by train or trolley car with Coatesville—is constantly seeking opportunity to work. in textile mills—the greatest of all these surrounding districts is led practically to The Coatesville Mill door by trolley car. 140 THE COATESVILLE MILL — LOT NINE — COATESVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA Coal Trestle and Spur Track — aa LOT NINE—THE COATESVILLE SILK MILL—LOOKING FROM THE SOUTHWEST 173 i q Peers Seek eet os : 7 ee Freight Car THE COATESVILLE SILK MILL—LOOKING FROM THE NORTHEAST and Spur Track LOT NINE THE COATESVILLE SILK MILL—LOOKING FROM THE SOUTHEAST LOT NINE aL = a.

NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Coatesville Mill— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures.

C. to Tampa, Florida— in direct connection with the Pennsylvania System. Fayetteville is on the line of the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railway Company (new) between Fayetteville and Aberdeen, N. C.—in direct connection with the main line of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. Fayetteville is on the Raleigh, Charlotte & Southern (N. C.)—in direct connection with the main line of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Fayetteville is on the line of the fast express trains from Wilmington to Greens- boro—there connecting with the main line of the Southern Rail- way. There are four through express trains daily, each way, be- tween Richmond and Fayetteville (211 miles—6 to 8 hours); there are three through express trains daily, each way, between Wash- ington and Fayetteville (327 miles—9 to 12 hours) ; there are three through express trains daily, each way, between Philadelphia and Fayetteville (463 miles—13 to 16 hours); there are three through express trains daily, each way, between New York City and Fayette- ville (553 miles—-15 to 22 hours); there are three through express trains daily, each way, between Charleston, 8. C. and Fayetteville (185 miles—6 hours); there are three trains daily, each way, be- tween Savannah and Fayetteville (300 miles—10 hours) ; there are two through express trains daily, each way, between Wilmington and Fayetteville (83 miles—31, hours); there are two through ex- press trains daily, each way, between Sanford and Fayetteville (35 miles—114 hours); there is one through express train daily, each way, between Wilmington and Greensboro—via Fayetteville (96 miles to Greensboro—4 hours); there are two express trains daily, each way, between Norfolk and Fayetteville—via Rocky Mount (206 miles—8 hours); there are two trains daily, each way, between Raleigh and Fayetteville (64 miles—23,4 hours). One can take a train at Fayetteville at 10.30 in the evening, arrive in Wash- ington in time for breakfast, do a morning’s business, and dine in New York that evening. It is convenient to take train at Fayetteville in the early morn- ing and go to Columbia, S. C.; to Richmond or Norfolk, Virginia; to Wilming- ton or Raleigh, N. C.; transact business and return to Fayetteville that night. Fayetteville is often referred to as “THe Mipway Point” between New York City and Florida—there are three limited through express trains, each way, each twenty-four hours, between Fayetteville and:—Richmond, Washing- ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City; Charleston, Savannah, Jackson- ville and Tampa. This is true the year around and in the winter season there is an additional through express train between Fayetteville and the mentioned points. THE PLANT is reached by a fifteen minute walk—from railroad station or business center— out Winslow Street. By conveyance from railroad station it takes hardly one- third of this time. 146 FAYETTEVILLE — NORTH CAROLINA Fayetteville has the lowest freight rates of any inland city in North Carolina. Fayetteville is at the head of navigation on the Cape Fear River. The United States government has already appropriated $615,000. for the work of canalizing the Cape Fear River—by the construction of locks and dams. This means at least eight feet of water—the year around—between Fayetteville and Wilmington, North Carolina—or the sea coast and twenty- five feet of water. At the present time there is a line of river boats running between Fayetteville and Wilmington—the canal- izing of the river, however, means ocean-going vessels once the government is through with its work; and it is believed this work will be completed within twenty-four months. The fact that Fay- etteville is in direct connection with the three great trunk line systems of the South, namely:—the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company; the Southern Railway Company; the Seaboard Air Line Railway; taken together with the tide water connection—now being made possible through the government’s expenditure upon a ship channel from Fayetteville to Wilmington—makes Fayetteville freight a matter of competition between one tide water and three railroad systems. Fayetteville through its railroad connections has more than twenty-eight mail trains d&ily—in and out. The climate of Fayetteville is almost ideal—a mean average tempera- ture of 61°; in the middle of the day during July and August it is hot, the air however is dry and the heat is not oppressive—the nights are comparatively cool and refreshing; the fall and spring require medium weight clothing and in the winter the temperature gets as low as 20°—there are few extended cold periods. The winter resorts of “Southern Pines,” “Pinehurst,” and “Idlewild,”’ are within from one to one and one-half hours ride by automobile and practically the same time by train. Fayetteville is one of the banking centers of the State, is one of the agricultural centers of the State, has for a number of years been fast growing in impor- tance as a cotton center. Within seven or eight years two large fire-proof cotton warehouses have been erected and today a third and larger one is approaching completion; approximately 30,000 bales of cotton have been marketed in Fayetteville by the producer (farmer) from cart or wagon each season for the last two or three years. The city of Fayetteville by the United States Census 1910 had a population of 7021—2500 more in the manufacturing suburbs; has its own water system with a gravity pressure of 80 lbs. in the business district—modern filtration system recently added; within five or six years a modern sewerage and modern drainage system have been installed by the city—the environment of the city is naturally drained; has its own electric light and power plant supplying business and residence with light and the small in- dustries with power; a Board of Public Works controls the water system, the sewerage system and the electric light and power system—the city through the administration of this Board of 147 Public Works netted a profit of $18,663.61 last year; the fire de- partment is sufficiently up to date to have motor truck hose and chemical apparatus—the 80 lbs. pressure of the water system being sufficient to overcome all else; has a small police department— nevertheless is all sufficient for the needs of the city; the school system of Fayetteville has received much commendation—the latest structures are three large brick buildings:—a central high school, a graded school in the west end, a graded school in the east end— the three costing between $60,000. and $75,000.; a new brick struc- ture is also being erected for the colored school system; there is a State Normal School which has an attendance of 375 colored stu- dents—this Normal School prepares for teaching, agricultural and industrial pursuits, and domestic science; all religious denomina- tions have their individual places of worship; Fayetteville is on the circuit for the principal theatrical attractions touring the South— has a modern theatre; several of the principal streets are paved with bitulithic smooth paving; there is a cross town trolley car service from the residential section of the West side, through the business center of the city, out to the manufacturing district of the South side; the total assessed valuation of Fayetteville is $3,392,000., the bonded indebtedness is $373,000., the assessed valuations are believed to be NOT more than 30 to 50 per cent. of actual valuations; the combined tax rate (State, County, School and City) upon this assessed valuation of one half, or less, actual value is but $25.60 per $1,000.; the city administration is restricted by the city charter to an annual tax levy not exceeding $10. per $1,009. of assessed valuation; in connection with the above mentioned bonded indebtedness of $373,000., the city of Fayetteville owns its own Public Utilities and a valuaton of these utilities based up- on an earning power of 10 per cent. equals $375,000.—making the city practically free from debt. There are two National Banks and a Trust Company—combined capital of $350,000. and deposits approaching $2,000,000.; and a new Federal building. Fayetteville is a splendid center and offers a splendid opportunity for textile and industrial development; while the required capital may not be at hand to take advantage of all these opportunities Fayetteville is ready to assist in the work and welcomes the additional capital. The death rate of Fayetteville, although a hospital center for many parts of the State is low—the excellent filtered water system (which stands splendid test by the State Board of Health) is believed to be one of the reasons of this low death rate of 16.2 per thousand (one of the lowest in this State of Winter Resorts). Cumberland County, of which Fayetteville is the capital seat, is developing an extensive system of good roads—as a matter of fact part of the roads of the system are already completed. 148 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21st, 1913 Promptly at te EY O’clock in the Afternoon Exe Upon the Premises A TEXTILE PLANT Of Some Size—Can Be Cheaply Operated In Daily Operation REAL ESTATE THE FAYETTEVILLE MILLS LOT TEN : ee The Third (Top) Floor has a height of post beneath Main Building-North the timbers at the walls of 1 3 ft-—from the top of 210 x 44 feet the walls to peak of the roof is 2 ft. 10 in.; the roof LOT TEN is board and joist construction—granulited covered ; THREE STORIES the upright posts—a single line through the center of BRICK the room, 15 ft. 6 in. apart—are 6 x 6 in.; the window openings are 8 x 5 ft. 7 in.—alternating 18 and 4o in. apart; the floor is double and lined—diagonally laid; the walls are white, so is the ceiling, as is the extensive overhead work necessitated by the Jacquard machines and dobbies; the natural light comes free and unobstructed from all directions into the four sides of the room; it is actually as light within as with- out—never was textile manufacturing room more light; this floor is used at present for weaving.

A Spur Track leading from the Main Line of the “Atlantic Coast Line,” some 300 ft. away, spreads to two sections of the mill yard. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company extends from Washington, D. C., to Tampa, Florida (1050 miles)—passing through Richmond, Virginia; Charleston, South Carolina; Savannah, Georgia: and Jacksonville, Florida. Direct connections are also made via Sanford (35 miles) with the Southern Railway—the most extensive railroad system of the South ; the new line of the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railway Company is some 1200 ft. away from The Fayetteville Mills and extends from Fayetteville to Aberdeen (40 miles) and there makes direct connection with the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way—another extensive southern railway system. Spur Track From Main Line of Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company The Land with The Fayetteville Mills (Lot Ten) com- prises an area of 7 83/100 acres; has public roads on three sides—and partly on the fourth side; the south- Roads on Three Sides ern end of Robeson Street merges into the public LOT TEN roads at the Fayetteville end of the mill yard; the road frontages total about 1700 ft.—as the mill yard fence now stands; in the rear of all buildings at the westerly end of the lot is a reservoir pond; the buildings are so placed upon the land that they are very liberally surrounded by open areas affording unusual natural light, circulation of air, perfect ventilation, etc.; at the same time the buildings are so placed that the plant can be doubled, or even more in size, without disturbing in the slighest degree the advantages of the buildings now standing. It lies perfectly in its relation to the surrounding land, railroad shipping conveniénces, and dwelling house environment. The Land 7-8/10 Acres LOCATION The Fayetteville Mills are located at the terminus of Robeson Street ; are with- in 100 feet of the “Otp TuRNPIKE” Road, one of the main thoroughfares lead- ing out of and in to the city of Fayetteville; is within 300 feet of Winslow Street (parallel with Robeson Street) the main thoroughfare leading from the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad passenger station—just west of the business center of the city—to the mill property ; is within fifteen minutes walk of the business center of the city. The mill property is just over the Fayetteville city line—perhaps 50 feet —in Cross Creek township, where the State, County, Schools, and Town tax is very much less than if within the city limits. It is virtually in the city of Fayette- ville but sufficiently without same to escape the burden of helping maintain the 153 sdme. In other words, to all intents and purposes, so far as its operation is con- cerned, it is within the city of Fayetteville ; but when it comes to living expenses, it is just outside, hence at a less “Cost or Livinc’’ maintenance and operation— the city’s population however extends up to the mill yard fence. The residential section is also on the west side of the city ; immediately to the west of The Fayette- ville Mills is quite a settlement of some one hundred or more houses—this dis- trict being designated as “Asuirey Herrtcuts;” the houses are principally occupied by the operatives of The Fayetteville Mills; the settlement has its own church, school house, stores, etc. INDUSTRIES A mile directly south from the mill on the Atlantic Coast Line is located the plant of the Victory Mfg. Co., erected- in 1906, for the manu- facture of cotton cloth, has been in full operation ever since—about one hundred and fifty employees; within a quarter of a mile directly southeast of the mill is the plant of the Holt-Morgan mills, established more than fifteen years, manufacture high grade cotton cloth—spin, weave, dye, finish, ( ) three hundred and fifty employees; the plant of the Tolar, Hart & Holt mills, established fifteen years, manufacture cotton yarns—over two hundred employees (works night and day); due east a quarter of a mile from the mill is the plant of the Georgia Pine Turpentine Co. of New York, established about twelve years, manufacture chemical products from wood, has been very successfully operated ; the plant of the Lakeview Mfg. Co., long established and successful, manufac- ture cotton yarns—seventy-five employees; the plant of the Southern Cross- Arms factory, established within five years, manufacture Cross-Arms for telegraph and telephone poles—eighty employees; a mile and a quarter to the east from the mill is the plant of the Holt-Williamson Mfg. Co., established some fifteen years, manufacture cotton yarns—one hundred and twenty-five employees ; the plant of the Southern Oil Corporation (Fayetteville Branch), long es- tablished—large number of employees; the plant of Gilmore-Rankin Company, established within eight years, manufacture sash, doors, blinds, high grade house trimmings and store furnishings—always busy; about a quarter of a mile northeast from the mill are the Repair Shops of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail- road—fifty employees; three-quarters of a mile northeast the plant of the Caro- lina Machine Company, long established and of good repute, manufacture mill supplies, freight and logging trucks, do general machine shop work—fifteen em- ployees; north one mile the plant of the Fayetteville Ice & Mfg. Co., established within ten years—do a thriving business; south about ten minutes by train from the mills are the four large plants of the Hope Mills Mfg. Co., at “Hope Mitts,” established a good many years, have grown and multiplied several a, manufacture dress goods, madras, and shirtings—about one thousand em- ployees. LABOR From a labor standpoint The Fayetteville Mills could not be better located in the Fayetteville district. The plant has been very successfully operated. It employs colored help—white overseers and superintendent. The weavers are all females and have become skilled and adept at the work. The spinning is done by boys and girls and they also have become skilled and valuable em- ployees of the mills. The help in the dye house has become interested, skilled and very handy. It can be truthfully said of the labor at The Fayetteville Mills :-— that it is better bred, better educated, better behaved, more industrious, more elastic, and with all this is more cleanly; this statement being made in compari- son with the colored help in others parts of the South. It may be explained in part by the fact that much Northern interest in the colored man has been mani- fested at Fayetteville. Fayetteville and its environment has always been a resort of people from the North—to many it has become a permanent home. The fact that Fayetteville is in the same belt as “Southern Pines,” “Pinehurst” and “Idle- wild,” should mean a lot to the stranger. Dr. J. Vance McGougan, who has charge of the medical service at The Fayetteville Mills, states that with the exception of two vaccinations of the entire help there has hardly been any other service rendered, and the mills have been practically free from accident; and the doctor again states that his “entire service since the mills have been in existence—early in 1900—has not exceeded $300. including the two complete vaccinations of the help. 154 NOTA BENE The Carolina Power and Light Company—with water power plants at Buckhorn Falls, Bluitt’s Falls, Milburnie, and a steam auxiliary plant at Raleigh, N. C.—is developing today some 45,000 h. p. in electrical power, which is being sent out by wire to industries in Fayetteville and other cities within a radius of sixty miles. The Southern Power Company with its extensive development of water power is producing more than 100,000 h. p. in electrical power—its trans- mission wires are now within twenty-five miles of Fayetteville awaiting demand and invitation for further extension. hh he SS Right here it may be fair to say that many of the manufacturing plants—in the suburbs of Fayetteville—are purposely kept witHout the city lines be- cause of the benefit accruing to the plants in less taxation, etc.; the city of Fay- etteville joins in this arrangement; yet the city fire department, etc., renders these outlying plants the same service as if WITHIN the city lines. Co ee Every year more and more acreage about Fayetteville is being planted to cotton; a few years ago the average yield from two or three acres of land was but a single bale of cotton; today taking advantage of scientific knowledge gained from State and National agricultural departments in some cases a yield of a bale and a half or even two bales of cotton per acre is harvested by the young or up to date farmer; the farmers for several years past have been selling from cart and wagon in Fayetteville at least 30,000 bales of cotton per year. CS a A resident of Fayetteville can leave the city by train at half past ten o’clock in the evening, breakfast and do a morning’s business in Washington, and dine in New York City the same evening. CS I SI Ss Sa A resident of Fayetteville can leave the city by train in the early morning and go to Columbia and Charleston, S. C., to Richmond and Norfolk, Va., to Wilmington and Raleigh, N. C., transact business and be at home the same evening. bo hh hs Fayetteville is on the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com- pany between Washington and Florida; has direct connection with the Southern Railway Company via the Atlantic and Yadkin branch; has direct connection with the Sea Board Air Line Railway via the new Aberdeen and Rockfish Railway Com- pany; has direct connection with the Norfolk Southern Railroad via the Raleigh, Charlotte and Southern—together with this Fayetteville is at the head of naviga- tion on the Cape Fear River, a stream the United States Government is now canalizing to the sea. CR a i There are twenty-eight mail trains in and out of Fayetteville, daily. CS So ‘The main line of the Atlantic Coast Line system—from Wash- ington, D. C., to Tampa Florida (1050 miles)—is within 300 ft. of the Fayetteville mill and connected therewith by spur track; the new line of the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railway Company—from Fay- etteville to Aberdeen (40 miles) a direct connection of the Seaboard Air Line Railway—is within 1500 ft. of The Fayetteville Mills. CS SE ON SI SR The transmission feed wires of the Carolina Power and Light Company pass through The Fayetteville Mill yard—a very simple proposition to take electrical power therefrom; this company now furnishes power to the plants of the Holt-Morgan Mills, the Holt- Williamson Mfg. Co., the Tolar, Hart & Holt Mills, and the Lake- view Mfg. Co.—all in the same district; to the Houston Mill at Cumberland, N. C. (10 miles away) and to a great many other plants within a radius of some 60 miles. 155 FIRE PROTECTION Snow Underwriter’s pump 16 x 9 x 12—capacity up to 750 gallons per minute; Knowles 14 x 7 x 12 double acting steam pump; four hydrants in mill yard—each equipped with rubber lined cotton hose and fire nozzle; 20,000 gallon tank on tower to Main Building-North—connected with sprinkler sys- tem; 10,000 gallon tank on tower to Main Building-South—connected with sprinkler system; the bottoms to the aforementioned tanks are at least 14 ft. above the highest sprinkler head; the Underwriter’s pump is connected by 10 in. pipe and the Knowles steam pump by 6 in. pipe with the pond in the rear of the mill yard. NATURAL LIGHT Natural light floods the floors of the buildings of The Fayetteville Mills— this is particularly true of the manufacturing floors. The premises were pur- posely arranged with open and wide surroundings. More than one of the floors of each of the buildings is practically as light within as without—but free, how- ever, from the glare of the open air. The great abundance of natural light within the buildings of each of the properties described in this catalogue is one of the secrets of success of the Ashley & Bailey manufactures.
