American Manufacturing: Made in Georgia 1888 Mills Towels

In honor of Manufacturing Day, which is recognized nationally on the first Friday in October, we will be spotlighting companies that have been growing while manufacturing their products in the USA. Many states actually recognize the whole month of October as Manufacturing Month.  Manufacturing Day was started in 2012 to address common misconceptions of the manufacturing industry and to educate the public (especially students) on the need for skilled workers to strengthen the American manufacturing industry. Manufacturers are holding open houses on Friday, October 5th, and throughout the month of October. You can find a Manufacturing Day event in your state on the MFG Day website.
