Manual Bear Lodge Throw Pillow, 12.5 X 8.5-Inch, Welcome to Our Cabin
Description
Although Thomas Lemuel Oates started Manual Woodworkers and Weavers in 1932,
the story goes back further. The roots of the company can be found in Oates’
entrepreneurial spirit. He and his brother used to farm the mountain areas of
Bat Cave in western North Carolina. They would also help their mother find
materials for her crafts. The sons began to make wooden whistles, buckets and
bird-houses. They would sell their wares along with her crafts to the people
from Charlotte that came through in their horse-drawn buggies on the way to
the mountains. Later, Thomas worked at the Ashville Postcard Company. When the
Depression hit, he lost his job, but it inspired him to go into business and
sell crafts, like cornhusk dolls and woven pieces, that were produced by the
local women. He had learned about the wholesale business while working at
Ashville. He built a waterwheel to generate electricity at a mill, began
making product and opened shop. Over the years, he expanded the company. His
son, Lemuel Oates, who would next manage the company, says he worked in the
business from a young age. He explains the products were made from cotton
scraps left over from making socks. Half-inch circles would be looped together
to form a variety of products. Lemuel Oates went to college and then settled
in Richmond. In December 1973, he returned to Bat Cave and took over the
company. In 2007 his son Travis and his daughter, Molly Oates Sherrill, took
over the business.
