Cliffside Builds Large Reservoir


Cliffside builds a large reservoir, holds 625,000 gallons. Many improvements are made in town. New families moving in. Personals. February 21, 1927

Cliffside, Feb. 21—Cliffside Mills is now turning out a new product, to add to their already widely known line, in the form of terry towels. The building program which was begun several months ago is now completed; the machinery is all in motion, and several thousand dozens of towels are being finished daily in the various styles.

As mentioned in previous correspondence, the plant has been thoroughly revamped, that is, re-floored, re-lighted and the interior painted. Also, a large filtering plant and a 625,000 gallon reservoir has been constructed. With the new modern bleachery and finishing plant, Cliffside Mills is now one of the most modern and up-to-date mills in the South.

The management is making a number of improvement in town in the way of putting in hardwood floors and repainting the houses.

New families are constantly moving in and these people are always welcome in our town.
