J.E. Ashworth business
James eventually had four blanket mills in America: Hartland, Vermont; Westbrookville, New York; 190 Eagleville Rd. in Cambridge/Shushan, New York, and Whippany, New Jersey. J. E. Ashworth & Sons had a "reputation of turning out some of the finest blankets in the country." United States Trade Reports of Cincinnati, Ohio, wrote on December 16, 1904: "The products of this establishment not only equal those offered by any other manufacturer, but in points of workmanship and finish cannot be surpassed, and no house in the country is more fully equipped to meet modern demands in this line. They are firm believers in quality and zealously guard the quality of their products at all times by using only the best materials and employing experienced workmen." Their fawn colored horse blankets were used by the Wells Fargo, American Express and Adams Express Company transport companies, and the Standard Oil and Atlantic Petroleum oil companies.
