Mattress Company Opens in Hickory, Jan. 17, 1921

The Hickory Mattress and Springs Company is the latest new enterprise for Hickory and it is in operation in the Cline store building at 305 Tenth avenue. Messrs. D.P. Cline, H.J. Rockett and B.B. Cashion of Conover are the proprietors, and they came here, Mr. Cline said, “because Hickory is a good town.”

In addition to manufacturing mattresses and box springs, the company will rebuild and renovate old mattresses and disinfect them. It is well equipped with machinery for making and repairing mattresses and Hickory people will find it convenient to have work of this kind done here.

Messrs. Rockett and Cashion are experienced mattress makers and have operated a plant at Cornelius.

The gentlemen will receive a strong welcome to Hickory and it is hoped this new industry will be given proper encouragement.
