The Callaway Mills
Under this title were merged into one great corporation the allied plants that were sponsored and controlled by the late Fuller E. Callaway, as well as those organized and built since his death under the management of Cason J. Callaway as president, and Fuller E. Callaway as treasurer. The plants in this great organization are as follows:
| Calumet, LaGrange Plant | 9,984 |

| Manchester Plant, Manchester, Ga. | 25,080 |
| Milstead Plant, Milstead, Ga. | 13,668 |
| Total Number of Spindles | 92,508 |
In the early 1900's, the maintenance of recreation parks and
playgrounds, the Young Men's Christian Associations, assistance to the
schools and churches were always included as a part of the operating budgets
of these plants, and the care of health safeguarded by the presence of
well-trained nurses was one of the first thoughts towards the welfare and
happiness of employees.
The products of these plants include twines, cords, ropes, drills, sheetings,
sateens, moleskin, corduroy, filter fabrics, and every sort of canvas and
duck, a variety of rugs, and many other specialties.
