Dunn, Michael J., III

Although High Point, NC is today primarily associated with the manufacture of furniture, hosiery, and school buses, at one time it was recognized as a leader in the manufacture of trolley cars, shipping its product from Canada to the Caribbean. Hundreds of trolley cars were built over a quarter century by two successive High Point firms, the Southern Car Company and the Perley A. Thomas Car Works. The Thomas firm remains active today as a major builder of school bus bodies.
