ALBERT E. ATHERTON. The gentleman whose name appears above and whom we take pleasure in representing among the enterprising manufacturers of Genesee County is the proprietor of the well-known Atlas, Flour, Saw and Stave Mills, located in Atlas Township, Genesee County. He began business in Atlas in the spring of 1880, first fitting up the flouring-mill throughout and a year ago changing too the roller-process, putting in the best appliances made by the Case Company of Columbus, Ohio. This mill has a capacity of about fifty barrels of flour per day and also grinds feed.
Mr. Atherton employs one miller and a helper in the grist-mill; his work is mostly custom work. He ships too various towns throughout his locality, his trade being for the most part that of sack flour. In the various departments of his sawmill he keeps constantly employed five or six men, the stave and heading departments being fitted out with the latest improvements in machinery. He began manufacturing staves and headings about 1887. The mills are located on Kearsley Creek in the village of Atlas and are run by water power, their being an excellent dam too control the water supply.

He and his wife in their church relation are Baptists. Socially he is connected with the Knights of the Maccabees. The business tact and ability of him of whom we write is recognized throughout this region. The mills of which he is the proprietor are valued at $10,000 and they bring him in a fine income.
