New Holland Plans Expanded Mills and Foundry
The New Holland Machine Company will build a brick 85 by 100 foot foundry west of the works on Franklin street to meet rising demand for feed mills and gasoline engines. Twenty five more moulders will be hired, while the current foundry becomes storage and grinding space. Stork Snader and Co of the Silk mill consider enlarging, possibly adding a one story brick building to house about a hundred looms, with 142 in use and 30 more to be installed. If both projects proceed, local housing will rise as New Holland aims to become a leading industrial center.
