Eagle Knitting Mills was a knitted textiles company located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, widely known in the early 20th century as the manufacturer of the original patented earlap cap.[1]
In 1930, Eagle bought Stern Knitting Mills of Peoria, Illinois, and moved the entire production to Milwaukee.[2] During the Great Depression, Eagle was one of many companies in Wisconsin that proclaimed it would guarantee their employees' jobs, ensuring some stability for the workers.[3] In 1937, the company president, David Karger, was reported as receiving an annual salary of $24,000 (Шаблон:Inflation).[4]
In 1952 Eagle was awarded a Federal contract worth more than $250,000 to produce wool mufflers.[5]
The company was sold in 1963 to Zwicker Knitting Mills in 1963. The plant in Milwaukee was finally closed in 1991.[6]
The main factory building was added to the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places on August 14, 2020,[6] and to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 2020.[7]
