High Point Hosiery Mills Producing Almost 8 Million Pair of Hose, May 24, 1924

High Point Hosiery Mills

High Point, N.C., May 24—Seven million nine hundred and twenty dozen pairs of hosiery are manufactured annually by the 14 mills located in this city, according to a statistical report made public by the High Point Chamber of Commerce. This makes the total number of pairs of hose annually manufactured here 95,640,000.

The hosiery mills located here, the report says, are among the largest in the state and perhaps in the South. A large number of small mills have been started here within the last two years, it is said, and they have grown with the progress of the town. Several thousand pamphlets telling of the things in which this excels will be printed and distributed at the Road Show here in June, the Chamber officials stated.
