Historical Information
The Albuquerque Wool Scouring Mills was incorporated under the territorial laws of New Mexico in 1900. It ceased doing business around 1916; however, there are no records in the collection indicating the date of its demise. The business was located on property owned by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway near 2nd and Mountain NW, Albuquerque, from 1900 through 1916. The Albuquerque City Directory for 1917 shows that a business called Albuquerque Warehouse, Inc., was located at that address in 1917 and that W. E. Rogers, one of the operating partners of the Albuquerque Wool Scouring Mills, was the agent for Albuquerque Warehouse. The business of the Wool Scouring Mills was the purchase of wool, along with hides and pelts, the cleaning of same and resale to manufacturers. The plant also cleaned wool and hides on a piece or batch basis for return to the owners.
