Mr. Frederick W. Clarke
A small midtown Atlanta apartment, one dozen socks and “The Boss.” This is our history. From socks to hosiery to shirts to draperies. A company history filled with generations of success stories. Stories of surviving during the depression and flourishing afterwards.
When, in September 1946, Frederick W. Clarke, affectionately known as “The Boss”, built and officially opened our own manufacturing plant in Marietta, GA, employees numbered less than a handful. With one salesman to pave the way, we began as simple drapery manufacturers for a company in New York. More and more draperies led to more and more employees. By the 60’s, the course was set.
Today, as more than 250 employees in two plants manufacture our draperies, bedspreads, blinds, and cornices, some of the original handful still remember “The Boss” and his thoughts on running the company: “it’s like rolling dice… When you’re winning, you keep on rolling.”
