Brunswick Factory Expansion Moves Knitwork to Local Mills
The Lewis Jones Mills in Winchester plan expanding to Brunswick Md with a $25 000 order backlog and labor shortages. Brunswick hotels owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be rented for two years and taxes remitted while fifty sewing and finishing machines operate locally. Goods will be knit in Brunswick then finished there and shipped back, powered by a ten horse Pasoling engine. The move aims to employ hundreds, especially women, amid labor shortages.
