Abstract:
Headquartered at Mt. Gilead in Montgomery County, McRae Industries is one of four contractors in the nation that supply boots to the government. McRae got its first contract during the Vietnam War when the Army switched boot styles. At that time it had sixty employees; today McRae has 225. The company produces about 45,000 pairs of boots a month, slightly more than a third of the total industry output.
