AMERICAN LINEN COMPANY. 



To the Executive Board of the JY. Y. S. Ag. Soc. 



Gentlemen — Amons: the useful and essential articles of domes- 

 tic consumption exhibited at the State fair held at Utica in 1852, 

 was to be seen a case containing the products of flax manufactured 

 by the Linen Thread Company established at Mechanicsville, in 

 the county of Saratoga. 



This association was first established atLansingburgh, in 1848 

 where it languished. In 1851 it was commenced, with new ma- 

 chinery from England, made to order, at the Cohoes, based upon 

 a capital of $30,000. At this place the vast importance of its fab- 

 ric became more fully developed, and having attracted the atten- 

 tion of capitalists, it reared its head at Mechanicsville, supported 

 on the basis of $70,000. It now gives employment to upwards o^ 

 eighty hands, throwing off daily an average of three hundred 

 pounds of thread.
