Off to the factory this Monday morning! Only this isn’t your everyday factory, it’s the Rodgers Hosiery Company located on Brookwood Drive in Athens, Georgia. The aerial photo was probably taken in 1937 or earlier by Ben Epps, a pioneer of Georgia aviation. He died in plane crash in 1937 and this photo comes from his collection. It was send to us by Amy Andrews who also lives in Athens, Georgia. She’s doing a research on the workers of the Hosiery factory and would like to know more about the makes and years of the automobiles surrounding the factory in order to better date the picture. The employees of the mill and residents of the neighborhood were working class, so these cars are probably not high-end models. We realize it will be a challenge because of the relatively small size of the automobiles pictured, but perhaps one or two distinctive profiles may stand out. Can you help?
