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.

Carthage is a cross roads in the cosmopolitan world. Carthage, a small city and the seat of Moore County, is located in the Sand Hills of the state. Yet, the city has been home to many important people, such as a railroad company president, two Superior Court judges, one Supreme Court justice, and three runner-ups for State Governor. Cathage was once home to Dr. George Glasscock, cousin of George Washington.
