History of business

The textile maker made a large addition to an existing mill in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1925. At this time the Tennessee city was the second largest producer of hosiery in the United States.^[1]

Peerless Woolen Mills built a new manufacturing plant in Cleveland, Tennessee in 1955. Formerly it operated in buildings leased from Hardwick Woolen Mills, starting in 1951. A {{convert|250000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} plant, the new facility was engaged in preparing weaving and finishing operations. It opened in February

1956.^[2]

The Rossville operation was liquidated and the Tifton plant was sold to the J.P. Stevens Textile Corporation.^[3] In November 1961 a Federal judge ruled that Burlington Industries

could close the Peerless Plant in Rossville without engaging in collective bargaining with a union there. He denied a National Labor Relations Board injunction. The NLRB had asked for the

injunction when members of the Allied Industrial Workers contended the mill was being

shut down to avoid collective bargaining.^[4] In November 1961

the NLRB studied whether to appeal the judge's ruling because the company's union won the right

to represent workers in August 1961, a month before the plant was closed down.^[5]
