These old mills like this, they had their day, but they just couldn't compete anymore.
Back then, there was over 300,000 spindles. They say you're a big mill now if you've got between 60,000 and 70,000. That's how much it's changed.
Yes sir, you hate to see it go. It was a pretty good old place.
You know, this old place fed a lot of families through the years.
When you see the old pictures and how it grew one part at a time, it's kind of amazing to see most of it gone. Just think of the cloth this place turned out in the last 100 years.
