Dated July 31, 1916, the first page of this account ledger shows the takeover of the contract for socks and blankets by the Canadian Department of Militia and Defence from the Arnprior Knitting Mills, Co. as well as their already manufactured stock.
They also took over the production facilities of the Arnprior Felt Co, previously run by James Griffith, and were located between MacDonald and Edward Streets in Arnprior.
