McCurry & Byrd Hosiery Mill of Lincolntown is a successful, if not unorthodox, operation whose ability to make products from salvaged material has given them a reputation as \"buzzards.\" Making men's socks from the inexpensive left-over yarn from other hosiery mills, McCurry and Byrd found a way to weave a quality product at a reduced price.
