The Mill Adventure, Page 2:
Jacquard wilton looms on the move.
During a particularly cold and snowy part of January, the first building of our new factory was started. We utilized a local Amish and Mennonite crew from Rohrer Construction of Quarryville, PA.
Due to the poor weather, the construction took over three months, but it was finished just in time for the arrival of the looms.
