Browse Claussner Hosiery Company Collection

Robert Claussner of Philadelphia (PA), known for his success in the hosiery business, got together with some investors in Paducah (KY) to open a plant here to manufacture women's silk hosiery in 1922. One of these was William Paxton, II who worked for the company for 38 years, serving as president of the company from 1959-1965. Claussner started in a building at 200 Tennessee and expanded into a larger facility at 28th and Adams in 1948. In 1963, Claussner Hosiery became a division of Indian Head Mills which announced in August of 1969 that it would close the Paducah plant.
