Abstract

Records relating to the production of ginghams, cheviots, normandies, zephyrs, Tiffany flannels, and other cotton goods. This is an incomplete collection, strong on the later years of the Company, and on engineering aspects. The Lancaster Mills succeeded to the property of the Clinton Company, Clinton, Mass., and also controlled Sawyer's Mills in Boylston, Mass. and the Winnsboro Mills. The directors' records extend from 1844 to 1918, but there are few letters. The material includes general account books, records of accidents, payrolls, and tenement records. Correspondents include treasurers J. Amory Davis, Harcourt Amory, J.D. Winslow, Henry C. Everett, Jr., and Charles E. Inches; and agents Franklin Forbes, George W. Weeks, and Charles H. Richardson. Lockwood, Greene managed the affairs of the Company from 1914; Amory, Browne were selling agents.
