MILL OR FACTORY SITE 
WITH GOOD WATER POWER 
— »T O BEN T\— - 
What has for about two hundred years been the profitable saw mill 
site in North Hadley, Mass., is now, from various good reasons, not 
paying property. The wood lots have been cleared to stay, and only 
a few logs of the farmers make the winter’s business of this mill. 
The building (30x100 feet) was built very strongly about thirteen 
years ago. There is about a quarter of an acre of yard room where 
other buildings could be erected to suit the business. 
This can be secured for a very small rental fee. 
As to the location, the village, which is one of the prettiest in New 
England, is a part of the town of Hadley. It is at the west foot of 
Mt. Warner, and on the east bank of the. Connecticut river, and 
seven miles north of Mt. Holyoke. Amherst, where are Amherst 
Amherst College, the Mass. Agricultural College and several private 
schools, is four miles to the east and Northampton, with its Smith 
College and many other institutions, is six miles to the south west. 
We are half way between Springfield and Greenfield, and about a 
hundred miles west of Boston. It is three miles to the depot on the 
Central Mass. R. R.,four miles to depot of another R. R. in Amherst 
and six miles to two other R. R. in Northampton. 
House rent and cost of supplies are very low and so labor can be 
employed at a low figure, thus saving a large sum annually to any 
concern over a location in a large place. 
The Grist Mill on the opposite side of the stream does a prosper- 
ous business, and the surplus power of the fifty acre mill pond could 
just as well turn other water wheels bofore going to Holyoke to con- 
vert saw logs into paper.
