Stevens Companies.
Biographical notes:
In 1813 Nathaniel Stevens began the manufacture of wool in North Andover, Mass., beginning a business that involved three generations of the family and included ten mills in New England by the time of World War II. In 1946 the business merged with J.P. Stevens & Co. of New York. This company was formed at the turn of the century by John P. Stevens, Moses T. Stevens and others as a selling agent for fabrics made in the mills of M.T. Stevens & Sons Co. J.P Stevens soon began selling cotton fabrics from other mills and invested in various southern mills, including producers of synthetics. In 1946 M.T. Stevens and J.P. Stevens reorganized and M.T. Stevens became a subsidiary of J.P. Stevens. All of the New England woolen and worsted mills closed by 1972.
