Thistle Manufacturing Company factory was an historic factory along the Patapsco River, in Catonsville, Maryland across from Ilchester, Maryland. The 1800s factory was in continuous operation until 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/003000/003300/003373/pdf/msa_se5_3373.pdf )〕
==Factory History==
The factory resides on 106 acres of land in both Baltimore County and Howard County along the Patapsco river on River road. The site was known as the "Thistle Factory". Alexander Fridge, George and William Morris founded the Thistle manufacturing Company in 1824 with the purchase of the property from the Ellicott brothers. The Ellicott's stipulated that the new factory as well as the Dismal Mill downstream would not operate as a competing flour mill, and in turn, the Ellicott's could not sell liquor on their land, Ellicott's Mills. In 1825 Fridge had sold his assets and the Morris brothers petitioned to build a road from the Thistle factory to the turnpike followed in 1832 with a state appropriation of $600 to build a bridge across the Patapsco at Thistle Mills. In 1837 they built a cotton mill and silk production facility on property purchased from the Ellicott brothers. The 100 employee mill building was built of locally quarried stone along with at least five stone buildings to support laborers and a general store. The company expanded production with the purchase of the Ilchester flour mill in 1882, but lost the facility in receivership in 1892. In 1895, the current owner and operator of the mill W.H. Kerr drowned when attempting to rescue his son who fell off his yacht in Annapolis. In 1919 Edward A.A. Blakeney purchased the plant for cotton duck production, and electrified operations in 1925, but shifted to tire fabric manufacturing.
In 1928 The Bartgis Brothers Company purchased the factory and refitted it through August 1929 for paper production. Bartigis was purchased by E.H. Lupton, and was sold to the New Haven Board and Carton Co. in July 1957 and later, Simpkins Industries, Inc. The 250 employee factory produced recycled paper products with printing operations from 1919 to 1964. Most of 1964 operations were interrupted by a labor strike. Sewer service was added, stopping direct drainage of titanium dioxide into the Patapsco river. In 1952, a dump was created on the steep slopes that was in operation until the mid-1980s.
The last factory configuration included the mill, powerplant, scalehouse, and a dump. A historic mill village is on the wooded site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/003000/003300/003373/pdf/msa_se5_3373.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mde.state.md.us/assets/document/Simkins.pdf )〕
