Holyoke Manilla Mill.
This establishment, after various vicissitudes as a manilla- and tissue-mill, was organized by the present proprietors, Messrs. Robertson & Black, on a new basis in 1875. The mill consists of a building two stories high, with an attic and two wings. The upper story of the main building is occupied by the rope-cutter, and the ground floor by the three 500-pound engines. The wing on the west side contains a good 62-inch cylinder machine, while the 3-ton rotary bleach, and two 4 ½ feet steam-boilers occupy the other. Capacity, 2500 pounds per day.
