SCHELL BOTH PHONES MONDAY EVENING, ' WAVE OF PROSPERTY FAVORS NEW CUMBERLAND INDUSTERIES Knitting and Woolen Mills, Dy c and Bleach Plant, Brickyards and Cigar Factory Employing Many Hands New Cumberland, Feb. 26.—Caught In a wave of prosperity, this little bor ough. the Industrial center of the I Shore, will surprise all business rec ords in the history of the town. ' Shortage of dyestuffs. caused by the ! war, proved unfortunate to several of ' the concerns, which were nearly com pelled to suspend operations. Taking advantage of the first opportunity the New Cumberland Knitting Mill and the ; Susquehanna Woolen. Company, signed contracts with a Buffalo firm to supply thein with this article for three years, while the Pennsylvania Dye and Bleaeh Works has arranged to be supplied for a year. In order to be sure of the sup ply it was necessary, managers de [ clare, to pay nearly ten times as much as uhder ordinary circumstances prior I to the war. More than 350 people, the larger per centage o.f which are New Cumberland residents, are given work in their home town in these various factories. The New Cumberland Knitting Mill is the largest concern in the. borough and reports a dally output of 600 dozen hose, and running at full blast. There are 115 persons employed here. Recog nizing the opportunity in South Ameri can trade, this mill is putting consider able energy in the development of its trade in that direction. The shipments to this country during the year have been about 20,000 dozen. Having assur ance of dyestuffs for three years, and plenty of orders ahead, this concern will doubtless surpass all records. The Susquehanna Woolen Company employs ninety people and has a daily output of 300 pairs of blankets, with orders booked for months to cpme. The average shipment on the railroad is two carloads each week. This firm's products are marketed at New York. Marysville Ministers Print Names on Applications Marysville. Pa..
