Rushed With Orders. ! Ever and alwais the pressure of or- ders has been above the capacity of production. The period of depression made not a whit of difference. The mill ran day and night. A little old mill across the street from the moin plani was pressed into servide and filled with handkerchief looms, Put stiil the pressure of orders was beyond capacity. Then came the addition and’stili more orders. The ‘mill may \be large enough to handle its orders some day, but that day is not yet. Expenditure of $150,000. Jmprovements under way, including the new. addition and electric power | plant. represent an expenditure of 3 000. ' The mill has passed from the ki ene to Lhe electric lighted stage during the ownerchip of the Cochranes, Lines of cumbersome shafting and hes gearing Have given place to powerful clectric motors that drive the machines with watchlike precision. The change has been remarkable. Ev- erywhere signs of prasperity are in evidenc The capacity of the mill has been praciically doubled, the number of employes and the payroll jncreasing in corresponding proportion. Entire Plant Modernized. And during 21l thisYeriod of transi- tion of the .aill from an antiquated to a modern plant the company has found time_to make equally marked changes in their dwelling, houge property. The big tenement, block: which occu- pied part of the site of the new addi- tion was cut in half and moved across the river; reunited and rebuilt into model tenements. The mill board- ing house, also on the site of the new addition, wag rolled down onto a Main street site near the Quinebaug bridge and completely” remodeled into bright roomy rents. The string of ramshackie houses along Water street that were for years an eyesore to residents of Danielson have been transformed into a line of clean, well kept dwellings. Practieally every piece of mill prop- erty has been improved, and the end is not yet. Brick Houses Projected. Several new brick dwelling houses are to be erected on Cottage and Waler streets, to be occupied by the increased number of employes: Big Power Plant. Five miles up the Quinebaug river, above Cotton’s bridge, a big electric power plant is in course of construc- tion and a cam is beginring to stretch across the river to hold back the water is to crive the power developing machines. The electric current of 1,500 horse power will be transmitted to the mill in Danielson over a high tension line of the Cochrane Power company, re- certly incorHporated. The power plant represents another big investment. Hints of Big Bleachery. Every working day of every year is marked by a little progress towatds the kins of a mighty industry. It ~d that i is n the future a bleach- ery will built as an adjunct to the present m which has not yetireached its greatest Jevelopment. Vigilant Agent Johnstene. The dirz:i supervision of this indus- try during all its development has been the care of Gordon A. Johnstone, agent of the company. Inside and out- side the plant he has closely fo'v red and directed the varied changes, WookK :and_iate with an amount of nd perseverance thal have fully fit for the strenu- < the commanding efficer enersy of th- uti'e a 10y of workers and the results achie-ed testify as to his suc- ce Success & Matter of Local Pride. As the most important industry with- in the limits of Danielson, upon it nat- o lly srear degree of loca rosper il 1t aevetopmear therefore is a matter of vital interest to all of the townspeople. That. such signa! success has marked the operation of the plant from the very beginning of the present control is a satisfacdon that is shared not by the owners and employes alone, but by all ta2 peorie.

Centenary of !-‘pfi:{—ciurch at Hollaw —History of a Hundred Years of Growth. The centennial exercises being held at the Baptist church in Stafford Hcl- lew this week are creating a deep in- terest and are being well attended. The f.rst meeting toward the organization of this church was held April 20th, 1909 at the house of Samuel Bloss in Ziafford Springs. The house, known as the “Bloss house” is still standing Jacob Leonard was modergtor and Samuel Bloss, Jr., clerk of the meet- irg- Necessary action was taken for convening a council which met June 14th of the same year at the home of Mr. Leonard. At this meeting, in accordance with the custom of the Baptist denomina- tion, a Baptist church was reorgan- ized. First Pastor. It was a small begining, consisting of only eighteen members, seven males and eleven females. Samuel Bloss, Jr., goon began to preach regularly to the church, and in 1810 was ordained as its pastor. With the possible excep- ticn of the West Stafford Congrege- t'cnal church the Baptist is the oldest cliurch in town. Elder Boss remained as pastor for about three years. Fol- Jewing his pastorate, for three or four | vears the church had no regular min- icter. It was about 1819 that Benja- win M. Hill was ordained pastor, but ccntinued in office only twe and ome- balf years. Then came a period of atout twelve years of infrequent ser- viees. The church had no stated place of meeting until 1834, but the members met for worship at the houses of Sam- vel Blpss and Jacob Leonard {n Staf- ford Springs. Meetings were also held at the’ schoolhouse in the village, so- called, at Stafford Hollow, in the hall «f the public house on Stafford street, and once a month in the (then) new neeting house on Stafford street, Present Prosperity. Phe present building, in the Hollow, oras probably erected in 1834, and was first used as a place of wership in Jan- pary, 1825, Twenty years latér it was remodelled and an addition for even- ‘ng and other services was bullt in 1890. The present pastor is Rev. Al- pert B. Todd, who has been here for aimost three vears, and the church ls todav in'a flourishs conditien.
