Creedmoor, Feb. 9—The Welwuth Hosiery company, organized and incorporated the past week by citizens of Creedmoor, have leased the old Granville Hosiery Mill and the work of getting in shape to start operations was begun last Thursday. D.F. Evans, an experienced hosiery man, is superintendent, and has moved his family here and is busy getting things in shape to start work.
Mr. Evans started in the hosiery business when a boy, working with the Durham Hosiery Hills, and later was superintendent of a knitting mill in Wilmington, but for the past two years has been superintendent of the No. 2 mill of the Henderson Hosiery company.
The company will operate the mill to full capacity and will give employment to a large number of persons, and the payroll will add some to the extra change in town every Saturday. While some experienced help will have to be brought to Creedmoor, it will be the policy of the management to give a chance to persons who now live here, to learn the work, and as soon as they learn they will have a chance at permanent employment.
We learn the plan for the present will turn out 176 needle half-hose and has a capacity of 375 to 400 dozen pairs daily.
