Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Chipman-Holton Knitting Co : The Chipman-Holton Knitting Co. was incorporated in 1901 by William Holton of Hamilton and John S. Chipman of Easton, Penn. Located in Hamilton, the company specialized in full fashioned nylons and hosiery. Until 1950 it was a profitable enterprise employing approximately 300 hands in its Hamilton mill. But the firm was unable to modernize its facilities and cope with changes in tariff regulations, and thus by 1954 the company was in serious difficulties. Chipman-Holton merged with Mercury Mills in 1954 in an effort to rationalize both firms' manufacturing operations and administration.
