May 5, 1887: The Comet reported, âMr. H.A. Clark, of New York, has been in the city several days, looking over the field with a view of locating a flouring mill here. Seeing the need of such an enterprise in this section and appreciating the inducements offered by Johnson City, he has decided to locate here. Ground has been picked out, and as soon as he returns from New York, he will begin building a mill with a capacity of 50 barrels of flour per day. The mill will be full roller system and will be the largest of the kind in East Tennessee.â
