My father worked at Tricnit for years. I walked there in the late afternoon to bring him a hot, home-cooked supper in a stainless steel pot with a cover that had a broken Bakelite handle.

The answer is yes. He provided Phil with $ to buy a hosiery mill in Laconia and they moved the operation to New Ipswich (actually first to Greenville above the hardware store until the building in New Ipswich was finished.
