Always, in those days, when the citizens mentioned the\u003cbr\u003eowner of the Mill, their faces took on that curious half-laughing\u003cbr\u003eexpression of mingled admiration, contempt and envy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it has come to pass that in these days when the people speak of\u003cbr\u003eAdam Ward they do not smile. When they speak of Adam Ward's daughter,\u003cbr\u003eHelen, they smile, indeed, but with quite a different meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of Millsburgh is not essentially different from that of a\u003cbr\u003ethousand other cities of its class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn of the natural resources of the hills and forests, the first rude\u003cbr\u003emill was located on that wide sweeping bend of the river. About this\u003cbr\u003eindustrial beginning a settlement gathered. As the farm lands of the\u003cbr\u003evalley were developed, the railroad came, bringing more mills. And so\u003cbr\u003ethe town grew up around its smoky heart.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147517837552,"sku":"2940013365902","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013365902_p0.jpg?v=1763579905","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013365902","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
