Van Amrlnie mill to ltd Irreatatlblo nppcal. Thla eatabllahment datrn bnck to tlln early day of tho novc'nteenth century, althouich tha mill Itaolf wan. not built until seven jreara after tho cloiio of thu Ilevolutlonnry war. Klnr Oeorffe It, not Ionic nfter hln nccce lon, mado a trant of land known an 'The Hudd Patent" at what la now Mamaroneclc, li. Y., to Bainuel Uudd. 1'iirt of thla srant or "patent" paaied In 1700 Into tha luinda of another old Knickerbocker family, the Van Amrlnitra, who conceived the Idea of bottllnr up tho II den and running n grlat inlll on their nowly acquired property. Bo they built a dnm from tho nhoro to a neck of bind, which formed a natural harbor. Thin dam was, ao constructed aa to Inclose a salt water lake. Inundatlnr thirteen acres of land. When tho tide would flood, a largo sluice gate In the dnm Would be opened, thus allowing the d.-uu-framed pond to fill. "When the tide would ebb, thla gate wpuld bo closed, thereby trnpplnr tha water, which at law tlda would flow over on old overshot ivater wheel. For mora than a century this was known as "Van Amrlnge'n Mill" and become famous tho country round, as ono by one Of Itn oompetltorn passed out of existence or yielded to mora modern methods of oper ation. 103 YBAIIS OF ACTIVITY Clinging to their proverbial family tra ditions, the despondantn of Its Knicker bocker founders continued to operate their mill, with Itn primitive machinery, until 111)3, 103 years from the time It was built. During that year tha mill won leveled by Ore, everything being -destroyed, building, overshot wheel and tha rest of Its century Old equipment. Only the lake remained. The Van AmrlnKe family, which hnd maintained Itn ownership of the business and property, sot about to construct an other mill. In no doing they made two Im portant changes. Steel turbines were In tailed In place of the .hid overshot wheel and the grinding of corn was discontinued. In placa of h purveyor of corn Hour Vnn Amrlnge's mill became a producer of pumlca atone In granulated form, an en terprise which proved to be n more favor ablo pursuit for Itn operators than tha business upon which the family fortune and reputation wera baaed.

Am a result or miir calculations or an income computed upon a steady output from the mill nil day long, tho present and progressiva head of tha housa of Van Amrlnge took up the problem with A. T. Foster, of tha West chester Lighting Company, a New York con cern. The outcome of thla consultation was the transformation of tha historic mill. Two twenty-flve-hcrsepower motors wera In tailed to do the work and more of the faithful but, slow and antiquated mill wheel with its tidewater supply.
