The Martinsville Manufacturers took their name from the city's textile mills, which produced towels for much of the early twentieth century. The team joined the Class D Bi-State League at its founding in 1934, a circuit built around mill towns along the North Carolina-Virginia border. In that inaugural season, player-manager Jimmy Sanders hit .423, the highest batting average in all of minor league baseball that year, though Martinsville lost the championship series to the Danville-Schoolfield Leafs.

Hall of Famer Enos Slaughter played his first professional season with Martinsville in 1935, going on to a nineteen-year career with the Cardinals and Yankees that included ten All-Star selections and a World Series championship. The Manufacturers became a St. Louis Cardinals affiliate later in the decade before switching to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1940, the same year they won their only Bi-State League championship.

The Manufacturers played their final season in 1941, finishing second despite batting champion Albert Behrends hitting .378 and teammate Tom Burnette leading the league with 28 home runs and 114 RBI. The Bi-State League folded the following year and was succeeded after World War II by the Carolina League, where a new Martinsville franchise, the Athletics, won the 1948 Carolina League title with Hall of Famer Heinie Manush managing in 1945.

The Manufacturers and the Athletics both played at the same Martinsville ballpark, English Field, which still hosts baseball today as Hooker Field. This design's mascot draws on the towel-and-textile identity of Martinsville's mills, representing the Manufacturers through the product that built the town rather than through a generic occupational figure.

Stopped working
Maybe it's a one-off but it stopped working very shortly after I received it and I had to return it. Casio used to be a good brand.

Just what I wanted
I am an invalid and spend a lot of time watching tv in the dark, so I wanted a watch I could read in the dark. It isnt very bright but enough to be able to read it and it is also large enough to read easily. It is not beautiful but is good looking enough to wear when going out. It is just what I needed and I am satisfied with it.

Super soft, runs small, long tail
High quality, super soft, good neck height, nice price, ready to go right out of the dryer, medium thick material, works well under a sport coat or sweat shirt, snug fit--runs about one size small. Length is about four inches too long. So, ideally made for tall and skinny people (I am short and thick), but going one size up works fine for me except have to tuck it in due to the length.
