High Point, Dec. 16—The Hillcrest silk mill, established here recently, will soon furnish employment for 500 men and women, it was stated today.
This announcement followed confirmation of reports that the company would move its East New York, N.J., plant to High Point because of inability to reach a satisfactory settlement with the employes in New Jersey.
Last spring the company built a plant here and employed about 125 men and women. The original plans were to operate the mill here as a branch of one in New Jersey, but I has been decided now to move all the machinery and equipment here from New Jersey and operate the factory as one big building.
All details were not available today, but another building will likely be erected to take care of the additional machinery and employes.
