Abstract:

In 1964, the P.H. Hanes Knitting Company and the Shamrock Hosiery Mills merged to create the P.H. Hanes & Company. These two clothing manufactures broke sales records after the merger, with a ten percent profit increase during the first year. The merger produced a large firm with public stock that intended to increase the value of stock dependent upon the expected increase in consumer demand for clothing that occurred for the rest of the decade.

Abstract:

One of the most obvious essential industries that are often overshadowed by electronics, steel and automobiles is the production of clothing. First organized as a corporation in 1903, the P.H. Hanes Knitting Company has been working to keep North Carolinians with the heavy union suit (known as the 'long-handles'). The company has been expanding and innovating since then, the brand name label being sold across the country by 1914. And in 1960 a new selling organization has marketed the Hanes Red Label mark of men's and children's socks.
