Abstract:

In 1976 in Mayodan Charles Sutherland III's grandfather ran a division of Madison Throwing Co. that developed an oil that made large spinning machines spin with ease. The only drawback was that it gummed up the machines. With a little research, his son Charles Jr., and his son's brother-in-law Ron Joyce, developed a product to clean away the lint and grime. Martin recounts the growth of the product, now known as Charlie's Soap.
