Helen of the Old House

1921. Wright, served as a minister prior to beginning his artistic and writing career. The story begins: No well informed resident of Millsburgh, when referring to the principal industry of his little manufacturing city, every says the mills, it is always the Mill. The reason for this common habit of mind is that one mill so overshadows all others, and so dominates the industrial and civic life of this community, that in the people's thought it stands for all. The philosopher who keeps the cigar stand on the corner of Congress Street and Ward Avenue explained it very clearly when he answered an inquiring stranger, You just can't think Millsburgh without thinkin' mills; an' you can't think mills without thinkin' the Mill.
