THE FISH LINE FACTORY
At least that's what we called it when w were kids. It's located on Mountain Street and back in the 1940's, our cub scout troop enjoyed an exciting tour of the Horton Mfg. Co., in this building where fishing line was the main product.
It was well before the days of monofilament line and consisted of braided nylon line used mainly on bait casting reels. That day was especially exciting because at the end of the tour, each of us was rewarded with a spool of fishing line.
The building is still in use today, no longer makes fishing line but it's nice to know it survived when the much larger textile mills all became history.
