When the Roxboro Cotton Mills planned an expansion in 1919, they chose the John W. Ferguson Company of New York and New Jersey. The company sent George W. Kane to do the job. When he finished the work, citizens of Roxboro prevailed on him to remain with his family and start his own business. Kane did. Today, George W.

Abstract:
During the 1940s, North Carolinian iron workers worked on projects from buildings in Raleigh to San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Bridge. Iron workers reached the pinnacle of their careers only after serving many years in lesser positions. Beginning as 'waterboys,' men became acquainted with the trade and then served as 'helper' before becoming a full-fledged iron worker. George Newton of the George E. Newton Company recalled some of the men he worked with and projects he had completed.
