Cotton Mills Enlarge at Town of Cliffside
Cliffside, N.C.,
June 16—Work is progressing rapidly in the enlargement of Cliffside mills,
about 500 additional looms now being installed to manufacture Terry towels. It
has also been decided to install a finishing plant and bleacher. The total
expenditures, according to plans approved recently, exceeded $600,000, the
machinery alone costing approximately $300,000. Should this enlarged plant make
necessary the use of more power than is included in the maximum contract now in
effect with the Cliffside Mills, it is known that the Blue Ridge Power Company
will be in position to supply any part of the 13,000,000 k.w.h. to be available
next October upon completion of the hydro-electric plant being installed at
Lake Lure, 25 miles west of here. The Lake Lure dam is to be over 100 feet high
and is now about half way completed, and Paul L. Holland, engineer in charge at
Chimney Rock, expects to begin accumulating a partial head of water this
summer.
