The Manual Woodworkers and Weavers, Inc. began as a small
souvenir business in 1932 by Tom and Queenie Oates. Many of the wood
items they sold were made by Tom himself on wood-working equipment powered
by a water wheel. Queenie operated the store and bought handicrafts
such as hooked and woven rugs from area artisans.
In 1974 their son, Lemuel, and his wife, Sandra, started running the
business, adding many more outside craftsmen. In the late 80's they
changed the name of the business from Manual Woodworkers, Inc. to Manual
Woodworkers and Weavers, Inc. so that the company name would better
reflect what the company's main product line had become - beautifully
woven afghans and accessories. This is also when Manual began to manufacture
woven products rather than buying from outside sources.
In the early 90's we began to put together our "one-stop-shop"
product line. Our goal was to provide a product line so diverse that
the independent store owner could shop at one location, for one minimum
order and fill their store with great selling merchandise. At Manual
Woodworkers and Weavers we are committed to you our customer: We are
also continually striving to improve the level of service we provide.
We are proud to announce that our new state-of-the-art fully automated
warehouse, opened early last fall, is fully operational and allowing
us to fulfill orders with unequaled speed and accuracy. This 175,000
square foot facility will enable us to maintain fast, quality service
to our customers for many years to come.
