Abstract:

The Cone brothers built four textile mills in Guilford County around the turn of the 20th century--White Oak Cotton Mill, Proximity Cotton Mill, Revolution Cotton Mill, and Proximity Print Works. Cooke interviews Lillie Mae Crum, now 91, about her experiences working in the White Oak plant for 45 years from 1941 to 1986.
