John tours the Washougal mill with Charlie Bishop. Charlie walks John through the entire mill process from washing the wool to folding and boxing the blankets.
Yea, this history of Pendleton Woolen Mills is pretty bad. Someone who has done any real research knows that the company was started in 1894 by Edwin Y. Judd in the town of Pendleton, Oregon. Judd was the son of a Connecticut wool mogul, who sent him around the world to pick up blanket designs. One can see PWM's Middle Eastern and Japanese designs in turn of the 20th Century photos by Pendleton photographer Lee Moorhouse. The Bishop Brothers bought the mill in 1909 and just omitted Judd's earlier company from their history.
WTH? You never even mentioned Pendleton, OR the town named for the woolen mill that is next to the reservation where many designs come from and..here is a bit of the promo they have online...Made in Oregon, USA - we mean it. From sheep grazing the green Cascade Mountain range meadows to the finishing touches of each blanket - every step of the WE WALK TOGETHER blanket is made right here in America....but it is not true since the late 1990's!! -- Pendleton Woolen Mills is closing its Sellwood clothing factory and moving the work to Mexico, where labor costs are lower. The closure begins Friday and the last of 119 workers will leave the 40-year-old factory Sept. 27, the family-owned company announced.Aug 16, 1996
Maybe do a little better research and you can find the answer yourself. I mean look a little closer and maybe when your calmer because it's obvious this has triggered you in some form.
😮 Exhale 😮💨
