Woolen mill at Front street boosts Quincy commerce
Messrs Alexander and Butterworth recently began operations at their Front Street woolen mill. The plant uses a twenty five horsepower engine and modern looms and machinery. In two weeks of work they have built a strong reputation, with demand far exceeding supply as stockings yarn dominates production. The partners, seasoned in the trade, emphasize using only finest wool and no cotton or shoddy. This venture strengthens Quincy’s manufacturing landscape.

A lengthy critique praises urban church clubs converting benevolence into a consumerless mutual aid fund. Members pay quotas to cover illness and death, with a library reading room, concert events, employment bureau, and support for workers.
