Photo of the Month - March 2010
“The Lineup”

Contributor: Society Archives

The Lineup

Mill supervisors gathered for this photo in the 1970s. Cliffside was a major contributor of denim to the clothing industry. Buzz Biggerstaff notes, "Levi-Strauss was our biggest customer but, Blue Bell Wrangler was also a customer just not near as big. The company supplied about three-fourths of a million yards of denim each week to Levi and the other customers." The boom would never burst, the Company thought, so they expanded in a big way, building a new mill nearby.
