Mansfield Mills
The saw mill Hillhouse & Taylor sawed
from one to two million feet per annum. Their wood working shop used water
power to the extent of about sixty-five horse-power. Here they
manufactured all kinds of doors, sash, blinds, moldings and like materials
used in the builder's art.
The plant was originally located in
Mansfield Center. The firm had three mills. The product comprises silk and
mohair braids, sewing silk, button hole twist, dress silks and silk
linings.
The Natchaug Silk Company was
incorporated in 1887. It grew out of the firm of 0. S. Chaffee & Son,
being established to carry on the manufacture of silk dress goods, serges
and satins.
