��ademical education, attending school at Canaan, and at the academies in Barre and Woodstock, Vt. When twenty-one years of age Mr. Sulloway went to Frank- lin and went into business in the manu- facture of hosiery, in partnership with Walter Aiken. He continued in busi- ness with Mr. Aiken about four years, when the partnership was dissolved, and, in company with Frank H. Daniell, he put in operation another hosiery mill, running in company with Mr. Daniell until 1869, when he became sole proprie- tor, and has since carried on the busiuess alone. Possessed of good judgment, business tact and energy, and devoting his personal attention, in a large degree, to the superintendence of the work, with the details of which he is familiar from early experience, he has been highly fa- vored in point of business prosperity, and is apparently well on the way to competence and wealth, while at the same time benifitting the public by fur- nishing employment to numbers of peo- ple.

��Mr. Sulloway's mill is situated on the lower power of the Winnipiseogee River, a short distance above its junction with the Pemigewassett, by which it is op- erated in common with the lower mills of the Winnipiseogee Paper Company, well known as one of the largest paper manufacturing corporations in New Eng- land, of which Hon. Warren F. Daniell, a brother-in-law of Mr. Sulloway, is agent and manager. The mill is of brick, three stories and basement, running four sets of woolen machinery and fifty knit- ting machines, and giving employment to about seventy-five hands, beside the large numbers of women throughout the surrounding country engaged in finishing the work which the machines leave in- complete. The goods manufactured are known as men's Shaker socks, or half- hose, and the amount annually produced averages one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in value, while the monthly pay- roll at the mill is about two thousand, exclusive of the large amount paid for outside work.
