Prominent among its manufacturing interest, is the Eel River Woolen Mills occupying a new substantial brick build- ing erected in 1881 and furnished with all the modern machin- ery for the making of flannel, yarns and blankets, and is a very important addition to the manufacturing industries of the city, furnishing employment to thirty hands the year round, consuming a little over a hundred thousand pounds of wool. The superior quality of goods manufactured'by this firm have already commanded a ready sale in the leading distri- buting points in the west.
The Columbia City Foundry and Machine Works, was incorporated July 1883, and have been running to full capacity from the first. The operations of this firm extend throughout Whitley and adjourning counties; 15 men are employed in the various departments.
