Alexandria Gazette
4 December 1867

BUCKLAND WOOLEN FACTORY

The undersigned having become the owners of the "Buckland Mills," Prince William co., Va., two and a half miles from Gainesville Station on the Manassas Gap Railroad, have put the same in thorough repair, and now prepared to fill all orders for the

BEST WOOLEN FABRICS.

By the addition of new and improved machinery they hope to manufacture goods that will compete with the best, both in the texture and finish, in the markets. They have engaged as superintendent a gentleman who has had an experience of twenty years in the best woolen mills of England, and is known to be thoroughly skilled in the business. Every effort will be made to make their establishment worthy of the support and encouragement of those who desire the development of the manufacturing interests of the State, and the undersigned hope to receive a generous support in the undertaking.

The highest market price will be paid for wool, either in money or cloth.

John B. Hunton & Co.

Prince Wm co., nov 14 - eo3m
