Peace Dale Manufacturing Company.
Textile manufacturing enterprise, Peace Dale, R.I. founded by Rowland Hazard in 1802. Chartered by the state of Rhode Island as the Peace Dale Manufacturing Company in 1848. The firm remained in the Hazard family until 1918, when it was sold to M.T. Stevens and Sons Company. Stevens closed the mills in 1948. In early years the firm manufactured coarse goods, including clothing for slaves on southern plantations. Later they made very fine goods, serges, worsteds, shawls, and cassimeres. Chiefly a woolen firm, although some cotton was manufactured. Some of the company's mills in Rhode Island were known as the Carolina Mills.
