Abstract:

J. Spencer Love came to North Carolina seeking a job in 1919. Four years later he owned the Gastonia Mill and began a textile empire. He later sold the mill, but kept the machinery, moving it to Burlington where it became Burlington Mills. Now Burlington Industries, it is the world's largest textile manufacturing corporation.
