Abstract:
Efforts to boost the local economy encouraged leaders to establish businesses such as Orion Knitting Mills. This business, open from 1914 until 1984, was well known not just for providing jobs for women in the area as it was its original location. Because of the high elevation point, the business later purchased by J.H. Johnson Jr. and Harry Saunders and re-born as Johnson-Saunders Dry Cleaners became known to denizens as “Knit Mill Hill.”
