Letter addressed to the cotton loom business of E. C. Kilburn & Co, founded by Elijah C. Kilburn (1811-1884). The plant of Kilburn, Lincoln & Company is among the large makers of looms for cotton and silk weaving and of power transmission machinery in the United States and makes about 5,000 looms annually, giving employment to about 300 hands. It is the outgrowth of the union in 1847 under the name of E. C. Kilburn & Co. of the loom-making and shafting business which had been established previous to 1840 by Jonathan Thayer Lincoln and that started in 1844 by John Kilburn. In 1856 this became Kilburn, Lincoln & Son. (History of Fall River)
