Mill owners tried to attract workers.

Explanation:

Mill owners hired entire families to work in the mills. The whole family moved to Pawtucket for the same. This allowed them to hire labors at a low cost.

Children, adults and even women were allowed to work in the mills. Women were happy to work in the mills because they did not have to work in the farms. Since there were machines in the mills, children could work easily there.

To attract complete families to work in the mill, they built houses for them. They provided them a store where they could buy necessary everyday things even at credit. They could also pay small amounts of money for an item for a period of time.
