1.At the top is the EAGLE which is our national symbol.  It serves  as a reminder of our FREEDOM and ability to explore new horizons for the  future of agriculture.

2.The outer circle of this emblem is a cross section of the ear of corn. CORN  historically served as the foundation crop of American agriculture. It is also a SYMBOL  OF UNITY,  as corn is grown in every state of the nation.

Meet Billy D. from Cameron WV. He has been a Welder for 11 years and is a member of Pipeliners Local Union798 out of Tulsa, OK.  Billy buys Carhartt work shirts because he likes the style and says the last longer. Although his work takes him all over the country, Billy purchases all his Carhartt clothing at Hammel’s in Pleasant Valley, WV. He says he likes the convenience and supports local business.

Welders have to choose clothing that will hold up and keep them safe, Carhartt brand work clothes does both.
