Abstract:

Runnymede Mills, Inc. is the oldest industry in Tarboro that is still operated by the same family, the Howards. George Howard and two associates built the mill in 1899, and production of socks for men, women, and children began in 1900. Currently the plant operates three shifts, and production exceeds ten thousand dozen pairs of children's, boys' and girls' socks each week.
