the first place of meeting of Mount Hope Lodge, the oldest of the lodges of this order in the city, was in the old Brown building, now the R. A. McWhirr property on South Main street. That was in 1845, and for many years thereafter. In 1873, when Friendly Union Lodge was instituted, that lodge leased the north end of the upper floor of the Borden block, and Mount Hope Lodge was a tenant. Thomas and Reuben Hargraves, of Mount Hope Lodge, started the project of the purchase of the old Central Congregational Church for Odd Fellows' headquarters. Mount Hope met there for a few years and then, the church building being disposed of, they returned to the Borden block, becoming a sub-tenant of Fall River Lodge that held its meetings in the south end of the Borden block. All the Odd Fellows' lodges and Rebekah lodges now have their headquarters at the "Odd Fellows Trust," 141 Rock street. The land was purchased in 1913 by Mr. Williston, who turned it over to the Trust. The house wherein the Odd Fellows meet was formerly the homestead and office of Dr. Ben- ;amin Handy.

CHAPTER XX.
COTTON MANUFACTURING
The progress and the changes that have taken place in the great cot- ton manufacturing industry in Fall River in the course of a half century have concentrated within them a world-wide and a cosmopolitan signifi- cance, as one is enabled to survey the successive periods of ownership and of workers from the beginning to the present, including, as the latter do, representatives of nearly all nationalities today; while that progress and change also share the memory of the primitive weaving machines, and the presence of the scientific perfection and intelligence of the wonderful looms and spindles of the twentieth century. The founders during the small beginnings could in no wise foresee the magnitude of this present, whether in the vast numbers of enormous mills and their machinery, or in the international gathering of the workmen. But from our own viewpoint we have the privilege of witnessing the development of both miracles, and all those intervening events that have brought the city to this crowning- point in its career. As Jonathan Thayer Lincoln states in his book, "The City of the Dinner Pail": "There is no city in which the people of many lands are so intimately associated in their daily lives-where the children of Shem, Ham and Japheth toil side by side."
It all began with the industrial foresight and preparedness of John Borden and his sons Richard and Joseph, who in their enterprise acquired lands from Benjamin and Caleb Church, from both sides of the Queque- chan river, in the early part of the year 1700, with the control of all the water power in that section. Then ensued that panorama of the building and working of the grist, sawing and fulling mills, whose own water privi- leges were the fundamental activities whence later sprang the Troy Mill, the Fall River Manufactory and the Anawan Mill. And at the same time from afar we have noted the movement of ancient industry-the tan yards, the iron works, and the town's salt works of 1777, the latter near the Mechanics Mills location.
Since the establishment of the first of the cotton mills, Fall River for two generations has had before it that excellent example of Colonel Joseph

Durfee, the pioneer, literally putting his shoulder to the wheel against the great odds that accompanied the innovation at the time. And a little later, when there appeared that small but courageous phalanx-Anthony, Wheeler, Bowen, Chace, Slade, and the beginnings of power weaving in 1820-we have beheld fruition of the earlier labors. Presently, too, as factors for the increasing usefulness of their age, there came the Rodmans, the Robesons, Hawes, Eddys, Lincolns. We have seen these builders planning for the city of the future; we have seen them temporarily overcome, too, but not dis- heartened through their trials by fire and occasional failures.
From this our vantage point we can behold with gratitude the various cycles of the introduction of new machinery and new methods, and the marvellous increase of the industry in the early sixties and the early seven- ties And meantime no one who looks upon the enlarging dimensions of the industrial scene can ever forget the labors of the giants like Colonel Jefferson Borden, Major Bradford Durfee, Colonel Richard Borden, Hale Remington and their like, who in the face of the most disheartening cir- cumstances of fire and panic rebuilt upon old foundations, while the em- bers of mill ruins were hot, and while the credit for renewed business was at low ebb. "We'll Try" is the city motto, and they and such persevering men as William C. Davol, Leontine Lincoln, Robert T. Davis, Elijah C. Kilburn, the Braytons, and many another, are to be accounted great in- dustrial leaders, their extraordinary recuperative powers and resourceful- ness having accomplished what only men of their gifts would care to undertake.
Beginnings of Cotton Industry .- Small and fugitive were the begin- nings of attempts at cotton manufacturing in the precincts of what is now the greatest cotton manufacturing city in America. Yet the business fore- sight of the founders was keen, when, appreciating the advantages that must accumulate throughout this tract of river country, as time elapsed, they ventured with their first wayside mill, and the village community considered themselves fortunate in the fact that here was a source and a means of their living. The territory where now is Globe Village was not then divided from Rhode Island, and there, at the northeast corner of Globe and South Main streets, cotton manufacture had its incipiency in this region, when Colonel Joseph Durfee, descendant of Thomas Durfee who came to Rhode Island previous to 1664, built his mill for spinning. In association with two or three other men, Colonel Durfee opened the mill in 1811, at a period when the cotton mills were beginning to start up in Rhode Island, and in New England. Already cotton manufacturing on the then primitive scale had made much headway in the new states; in 1804 there were but four such mills in all New England, while in 1811 the number of cotton factories in Rhode Island alone was thirty-seven. At this time, too, the cotton pickers and cotton weavers were not to be found in the mills, nor were picking and weaving the product of machinery, the picking then being done in the homes, the time-saving spinning in the mills, and finally the weaving upon the primitive looms at the homes of the community. We are indebted to Colonel Durfee, who was a soldier in the Revolution, both for his valuable record of those war-time events hereabouts, and for opening the way for a world of industry to throng within the gates of the future city of Fall River. He did the best with what he had in the way of cot-
486
BRISTOL COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS
ton-making machinery, but that was little and inadequate, so that the existence of that mill effort did not go beyond the year 1829.
'The War of 1812 was at its height when the actual successful begin- nings of the cotton industry of Fall River were assured by the formation of two companies-the Troy Cotton and Woolen Manufactory and the Fall River Manufactory-at a time when the low price of material and the high price of manufactured cotton were favorable to the increase and the profits of manufacturers. The average price of cotton at exportation points in the United States this year was twelve cents a pound, inclusive of all kinds, and the quantity then being exported was about 19,400,000 pounds. In 1814, however, came the revulsion, that was but temporary. David An- thony, of Somerset, a practical builder and man of affairs, Dexter Wheeler and Abraham Bowen, were of the Fall River Company, with capital of $40,000; and Oliver Chace, Nathaniel Wheeler and Eber Slade were of the Troy Corporation, with its capitalization of $50,000, half of the subscrip- tions thereto being subscribed in the towns of Tiverton, Newport, Warren, Rehoboth, Swansea, Somerset. Mr. Anthony, who had operated cotton mills at Pawtucket and Rehoboth, was president and agent of the Fall River Company, and Eber Slade its treasurer. The Fall River Company's mill will always be known as the first stone mill, because of the fact that a part of it was built of stone, two stories being of wood. It was constructed to contain fifteen hundred spindles-a building 60 by 40 feet in dimensions, on the location of the present mill of the name, the property of the Pocasset Manufacturing Company. This mill, with its comparatively primitive
equipment, was the first of the successful mills of cotton-manufacturing in Fall River. Deacon David Anthony, builder and promoter of the chief interests of this mill, was an exemplary business man and townsman. He was forty years president of the Fall River Bank. The Troy Company's mill, also built of stone, was designed for two thousand spindles, and was 108 feet in length, 37 feet in width and four stories, and known also as the "Old Yellow Mill." It was at the foot of the fall of Fall river, and began operations in March, 1814. Oliver Chace, originator and agent of Troy mill, was also a man of sound business training and had practical ex- perience in the industry.
The name of the Troy Company was changed July 25, 1814, to Troy Cotton and Woolen Manufactory, and the amount of capital was increased $16,000. We first hear of power weaving in the Fall River mill in 1817, the first weavers being hired at the rate of two dollars and fifty cents a week. Cloth was then woven one yard in width, and sold at twenty-five cents a yard, the looms then in use being the invention of Dexter Wheeler. Water or power looms were set up in the mill of the Troy Company the latter part of the year 1820, the year that the company paid its first divi- dend, $25 a share. The operatives were all natives, with the exception of an occasional Englishman, and during their earlier years of operation both mills built tenement houses for their help and their agents, as well. These constituted the beginnings, Henry H. Earl's historical collections furnish- ing the most complete records at this formative period that may be found. Then, from 1821 onwards, with the first efforts assured and proven, though through most arduous labors and occasional operative halts and hitches, there ensued a continuous and increasing advancement of the incorporation
487
COTTON MANUFACTURING
of new companies and the building of plants that set firmly the industrial foundations here.
The Fall River Manufactory was incorporated in 1820, with a capital of $150,000. For the purpose of manufacturing nankeen cloth, the Nankeen Mill, operated by Azariah and Jarvis Shove, was built in 1827; but this, with the first mill, was dismantled in 1839, when the structure known as the "white mill" was built. The latter was burned in the fire of 1868; and in 1869 the present plant, a five-story structure of granite, was built, and an extension was added in 1891, the spindles' capacity then being forty-one thousand.
The Pocasset Manufacturing Company acquired this property in 1905. Following the presidency of Dexter Wheeler in 1814, William H. Mason occupied that office until 1832; James H. Archer to 1833; William H. Mason to 1859; Richard Borden to 1862; David Anthony to 1863; Richard Borden to 1866; Nathan Durfee to 1874; John S. Brayton to 1904; Thomas E. Brayton. The treasurers: David Anthony, Holder Borden, Bradford Dur- fee, S. A. Chace, Andrew Borden, Thomas S. Borden, W. Frank Shove. The capital is $1,200,000; the number of spindles in the mills, more than 122,000, and close to three thousand looms. More than forty million yards of cloth are manufactured annually.
With the reorganization in 1862, the capital of the Troy Cotton and Woolen Manufactory was raised to $300,000. After a fire in 1821, the mill was rebuilt in 1823; again, in 1843, the year of the "great fire," a three- story stone addition was constructed. This mill, 75 by 47 feet, was made two stories higher in 1853, and extended eighty feet. The old mill that had been rebuilt in 1823 was removed in 1860, and the five-story north end of the factory was constructed, 296 feet by 70. The plant has more than 14,000 mules and 52,044 spindles, and more than 1,000 looms. Four hundred hands are employed here, and nearly 58,000,000 yards of cloth are produced annually. Under the original corporation there were no presidents. The presidents since 1862 have been Richard Borden, Jefferson Borden, John S. Brayton, John S. Brayton, Jr. The treasurers from the first: Eber Slade, from 1813 to 1824; Harvey Chace, to 1843; Stephen Davol to 1860; Thomas J. Borden, to 1876; Richard B. Borden ; clerk and treasurer, Herbert H. Horton.
In 1821 came the Rodmans of New Bedford, and the organization of the Pocasset Manufacturing Company in the following year (1822). One of the many old grist mills of the section stood on the north of the stream near Main street, and this was torn down, with the original intention of building another grist mill there. But the Pocasset Manufacturing Com- pany, being organized, changed the plans, and they began building the "Bridge Mill" for cotton manufacturing purposes. Samuel Rodman was the president of this new company, with its original paid-in capital of $100,000. Oliver Chace, practical mill man, was the first agent of the com- pany, who purchased one thousand spindles that were placed in the south part of the building, while D. and D. Buffinton leased the north section to manufacture warp and batting. This, the third stone mill in Fall River, three stories in height and 40 by 100 in dimensions, succumbed to the 1843 fire, that also took a fulling mill nearby. The year following, the company built on that site the Granite block. It was in the old stone mill of this
488
BRISTOL COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS
company that the first print cloths here were manufactured. The calico- printing business of Andrew Robeson, of New Bedford, was in 1825 in- stalled in one of a number of small stone structures known as the satinet factory, while the south part of the same building was occupied succes- sively by Samuel Shove and Company, and John and Jesse Eddy, for the manufacture of woolen goods, hence the name, "satinet" factory. This building, for many years a landmark, was of stone, three stories in height on the east side, with its north end on the stream. The firm of J. and J. Eddy afterwards removed to the Eagle Mill, in Tiverton, the firm later dissolving when Jesse Eddy and Joseph Durfee erected the Wamsutta Mills. The Eagle Mill in Tiverton was burned, but the firm of the Eddys had been dissolved previously. The Wamsutta Mills business was con- tinued under the various firm names of Jesse Eddy, Jesse Eddy and Com- pany, and Jesse Eddy's Sons. Meantime, the present factory building of the Pocasset Manufacturing Company began business in 1847. This was the first large mill here, five stories high, and 219 by 75 feet in dimensions. Large additions have been made frequently, the Fall River Manufactory being one of the larger purchases. The plant is now operating more than 100,000 frame spindles and nearly 3,000 looms, close to 1900 of these being for wide goods. In 1888 the capital of the corporation was reduced from $1,160,000 to $800,000, and in 1898 to $600,000, when $200,000 was paid the stockholders. . Micah H. Ruggles succeeded Oliver Chace as agent of the company in 1837, and he served as such until 1857, when Stephen Davol was treasurer and agent from 1858 to 1873. Then Stephen Davol was agent, and Bradford Davol treasurer.
