Hodgman moved his factory to Tuckahoe, New York, where a stone cotton mill gave him larger quarters and cheap water power for his growing business. The purchase price of [17] $10,000 brought him not only the mill but a large portion of the land that is now occupied by the vil- lage of Tuckahoe. Here in his new factory the working condi- tions were characteristic of the primitive conditions of those days. An old bell near the mill used to call the hands to work; and during the slack sum- mer sea...son, when there was little to do in the fac- tory, the men were sent into the fields to put in the spare hours harvesting the crops. This old stone mill — which still stands and which, by the way, is 100 years old this year — was the foun- dation of the present Hodgman plant at Tuck- ahoe. During the latter years of Daniel Hodgman's life he was training his two sons, George F. and Charles A., to take up the business after him. Indeed, during the last eight years of his life fail- ing health compelled him to relinquish its manage- ment to them in great meas- - ure.
