Abstract:

In 1995, the Stonecutter Mill, located in Spindale in Rutherford County, was the center of life for the town. The mill ran three shifts, and times were good. In June 1999, the plant began shutting down for good. Caudle examines forces affecting the textile industry in North Carolina, including lower priced foreign goods and rising labor costs.
