In this episode of the Schiller & Hamilton Podcast, Joel Hamilton sits down with Pat Grant the author of “Hamilton Carhartt In Rock Hill South Carolina”, and Chip Hutchinson from Historic Rock to discuss Hamilton Carhartt and his business empire. Ms. Grant discusses his commitment to his employees, and how he fought to keep families together, along with how he built his empire off the clothes made for working men. Joel and Grant also talk about how Pat Grant came to write about Hamilton Carhartt and how his influence has affected the history of the Rock Hill community for over 100 years.
