By 1911, Woonsocket Machine & Press had 1,000 employees and was well known as a manufacturer of textile machines and power transmission equipment including drawing, slubbing, intermediate, roving and jack frames. The company was part of a consortium of machinery companies represented by a single agent that could arrange entire mill installations.
In 1930, the company was sold to the Whitin Machine Works of Whitinsville, MA. Operations were eventually moved to Whitinsville.
