United Woolen Mills Rebuilds Plant After Fire in Columbus
The United Woolen Mills Co. shifts from Parkersburg to Columbus after a devastating fire that destroyed its Parkersburg plant and disrupted operations. Within three weeks, cutting rooms and pants shops in Columbus are running, with full departments by three weeks. The company, founded by W A Hersch with $700, now runs twenty stores across Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania and plans a permanent Columbus or Parkersburg facility. The Columbus Chamber of Commerce backs the move to cement ties and secure workers, while Parkersburg emphasizes reestablishing the plant there.
