1897 History - The
New Era Mills, on Main street near Corey creek , were erected in
1882 by the New Era Manufacturing Company, composed of Albert Sherwood,
L.L. Flower, Clark B. Sherwood and Andrew Sherwood. The plant, which
originally consisted of a four-run steam grist-mill and a clothes pin factory,
cost $12,000. The clothes pin factory has been discontinued. Since July,
1893, the grist-mill has been operated by Strait & Kingsley. It is
devoted to merchant and custom milling. |
