The Third Ellis Mill was an industrial mill located in Monson, Massachusetts. It was constructed in 1908 on the site of the old wooden Reynolds Mill. During its heyday, the two Ellis Mills made upholstery for a number of notable people, including Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom's coronation car and the cars in the White House fleet. However, the company dissolved in 1962 and the building went through several more owners before finally closing in 2001.

“We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilisation.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
