Following the death of founder and owner, the company passed over to Janet Van Dye in 1888. The company operates Van Dye's textile mill outlets and was a distributer of linens and domestics. Young Janet is currently releasing her line of fabric for wall hangings and women's dresses that are out selling all other lines, quickly becoming the brand of Van Dye Industries.
The vision continues with plans to use punched cards to control the engine, an idea Henry Pym utilized from Joseph Jacquard, who had used punched cards to control his automatic loom early in the century. One set of cards would program the mill, telling it which operation to perform. Another set would store the numbers to be acted upon.
