Historical note:
The Lorraine Manufacturing Company had its origins in 1868 when William F. Sayles purchased an existing textile mill known as the Mineral Spring Mill, located along the Moshassuck River in Pawtucket. On that site he erected a new mill building which he leased to other textile companies from 1869-1879. The mill was unused when, in August of 1880 William and Frederic Sayles and others were granted a charter for a new mill company to be called the Argyle Mills. Renovation of the old mill company was in progress and a new structure was under construction, but the charter was forfeited for non-payment of franchise taxes. In January 1881 the charter was taken up by the Lorraine Manufacturing Company, organized by W.F. & F. C. Sayles and others. This company purchased the Mineral Spring Mill site from Sayles and installed new looms and other machinery for the manufacture of woolens and worsteds with the assistance of mechanics brought from England for that purpose. In February 1882, management of the mill was turned over to James R. MacColl who, followed by his sons, continued to manage Lorraine until it closed. During this same period the Sayles brothers acquired an interest in a mill known as the Steam Mill, owned by the Moss Manufacturing Company of Westerly, Rhode Island. In September 1888, the mill was reorganized as the Crefeld Mills Corporation, wholly owned by Sayles. In March 1897, Crefeld was made part of the Lorraine Manufacturing Company and remained so until it was sold in December 1944 to Russell A. Lenihan. Lorraine also maintained a sales office, the Lorraine Manufacturing Company of New York, incorporated in 1896, the same year in which the Lorraine Manufacturing Company of Pawtucket was incorporated in Rhode Island. The Lortex Corporation, also of New York , appears also to have been subordinate to Lorraine; the stock was issued in the name of J. R. MacColl who was also the secretary and treasurer of the company. Lorraine had branch offices located in St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston. The Lorraine Mills, Cotton & Yard Divsion was sold in October 1944 to Jacob Ziskind. In 1953 Lorraine Manufacturing Company ceased operations although the company continued to exist. The company purchased Sayles Biltmore Bleacheries in January 1954 and sold the machinery from the Pawtucket plant in March. In May 1960, the Sayles Biltmore Beachery was sold, effectively liquidating the Lorraine Manufacturing Company.

Scope and content:
The records of the Lorraine Manufacturing Company, while far from intact, are yet among the most complete of any of the major companies owned by Sayles through their history. There are nearly unbroken runs of journals and cash records from 1880 until 1931; inventories and appraisals run from 1885-1954 and are significantly supported by a set of insurance surveys (1868-1955) found with the office subject files. The contract files (1895-1950) include estimates and bid awards for structural repairs and new construction and for initial and replacement purchase of machinery and equipment. There are good production records from 1890-1952. The pay records (1883-1952) include a good run by department from 1908-1920 as well as supporting files.
