W.R. Case & Sons
Cutlery Company
W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of premium, hand-crafted knives that are passed down for generations. Based in Bradford, Pennsylvania, Case’s offerings include a wide variety of knives that fit virtually any need, from convenient
folding pocket knives and fixed blade sporting knives to limited edition commemoratives and collectibles.
The company’s rich history began in 1889 when William Russell (W.R.), Jean, John, and Andrew Case (known throughout the industry as “the Case Brothers”) began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. W.R. Case & Sons was formed
around the turn of the 20th century by W.R.’s son, John Russell (Russ) Case, who had been a salesman for the Case Brothers brand. His father’s guidance was critical in stabilizing the company’s early finances while building its reputation as a dependable maker of high-quality cutlery.
A unique tang stamp dating system used from the very early days of its history has cemented the Case brand as a favorite among collectors. 
Today, Case is owned by Zippo Manufacturing, another family-owned business based in Bradford.
Case credits its associates with helping the company maintain a favorable industry position by blending innovative design with an inexhaustible array of materials. The company’s pioneering spirit is evidenced in several of its original knife patterns, like the CopperLock®, Baby Doc, RussLock®, Hobo®, Baby Butterbean®, Sod Buster®, XX-Changer®, Tiny Trapper, Hunter Trapper, Tiny Muskrat, Jr. Scout, and the all-new
Sway Back Jack.
Case’s popularity is underscored by the knives it manufactures under licensing agreements with several popular American icons, including the Boy Scouts of America®, Ducks Unlimited®, John Deere™, the National Wild Turkey Federation, John Wayne® (Wayne Enterprises), and Johnny Cash.
Case’s commitment to quality is evident in the 125 pairs of hands that it takes to create one knife. Case knives are highlighted by carefully shaped handles made from a wide range of natural materials, from durable Brazilian cattle bone and buffalo horn to delicate rosewood, mother-of-pearl, and genuine stag. Metals like brass, nickel, and silver highlight each form, bringing together a knife that’s not only beautiful, but able to withstand the tests of time and use.
The Case Collectors Club, with 18,000 members, is the largest known knife collecting association in the world. Club members enjoy exclusive knife offers, a quarterly Case Collector Magazine, and other benefits, including an open invitation to participate in a “Walk and Talk Tour” of the Case factory. Case consumer events provide a forum for knife enthusiasts to share with one another their most prized collection pieces and
the stories that accompany them.
Case knives are sold largely through an authorized dealer network of hardware and home improvement retailers, specialty cutlery shops, fashion accessory shops, catalog retailers, and others. For more information about W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co., call 1-800-523-6350 or visit www.wrcase.com.
The fashion industry has few constants, but ROCKMOUNT RANCH WEAR has forged a unique brand statement with core Western and high fashion. A true Western icon, ROCKMOUNT introduced the first western shirts with snaps, helped popularize Western wear as legitimate American fashion through out the US and abroad.
ROCKMOUNT'S signature look, the longest production shirt design in America, is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution. Increasingly, more major recording artists buy and wear ROCKMOUNT. These Western, Rock and Rockabilly stars wear it by choice, not as paid endorsements. ROCKMOUNT appears in dozens of films spanning Elvis classics to present day. Robert Redford, Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid, Aidan Quinn, Nicholas Cage, Kiefer Sutherland, Woody Harrelson have all worn Rockmount.
Sold throughout the United States and most developed countries, ROCKMOUNT has a diversified line for children and adults including shirts, skirts, felt and straw hats, silk neck ties and scarves, bolo ties, belts and buckles, jewelry and accessories.
ROCKMOUNT HISTORY
ROCKMOUNT is a 3 generation business started by Jack A. Weil, president, who works daily at age 99 100 101 102, 103 104 105 106 now 107! A true pioneer, he introduced the first western shirts with snaps and also made the first commercially produced bolo ties. Many of his innovations are standards in the industry.
Jack A. was motivated to develop a distinctive look for cowboys, ranchers and farmers living in the American West. They had special boots and hats but wore ordinary work shirts. Jack A's special shirt styles have many features different from conventional shirts. His ROCKMOUNT shirts are slim fitting to accentuate the body, whereas conventional shirts were boxy. A better fitting shirt is less likely to get caught or snagged while riding the range. The shirt yokes broaden a man's shoulders. The flap pockets fasten to better hold their contents. The snap fasteners have a break away function to let loose if the shirt got caught, and hold more permanently than buttons. Can you imagine a cowboy who likes to sew?
ROCKMOUNT's signature "Diamond" snap and "Sawtooth" pocket designs are individual and different, the same driving force behind so many of their distinctive features.
ROCKMOUNT's magic in popularizing western wear was an appeal to vanity. Cowboys have a strong independent identity and want to be different. Jack A. offered them a special fashion statement. Not so much to be worn while they worked the ranch but to make them stand apart from city slickers when they come to town. These western shirts are dress-up finery, to be worn on Saturday night in town or at the rodeo.
So, while Jack A. had the vision to innovate a new distinctly American fashion, others had influences, too. His son Jack B. joined ROCKMOUNT in the 1950's. Jack B. started in sales and brought Western fashion East. He helped popularize it across the country. Western wear was mainly popular in the American West until the 1950's when Jack B. was one of the first salesman to sell it east of the Mississippi River.
As Western wear's popularity spread across America Jack A. coined the phrase "The West is not a place, it is a state of mind". Jack B. began designing, taking over that role from his father. He developed a full range of products including shirts for men, women and children, skirts, Western hats, belts and buckles, bolo ties, neck ties and jewelry.
Eventually his son, Steve joined ROCKMOUNT in 1981. Steve returned to Denver after studying in Europe and brought back with him the desire to expand international sales. ROCKMOUNT had been exporting on a small basis for many years. By the late 1980's Steve had expanded the brand's popularity to Asia and Europe. His grandfather's "Western state of mind" had spread from the American West to world-wide in 40 years. Now ROCKMOUNT is truly an international company with a design and marketing effort that focuses on the very different international markets. As Steve's designs became popular he eventually took the design role of his father who likewise had succeeded his father.
Steve's introduced the relaxed fit fashion statement to shirts, no easy accomplishment when you consider that they had been tailored and slim fitting for 40 years. This had the effect of appealing to a younger fashion conscious market both in the US and abroad. Steve also had a big impact on fabrics in western shirts. He brought back fine 100% cottons, gabardines which had not been used in 30 years since the advent of permanent press polyester blends in the 60's.
Steve continues to reinterpret the signature classic designs of his grandfather and father. The fashion pendulum is always in motion. While fashion changes all the time his constant motivation is to design for a western state of mind -- life style, not trends that come and go. His family's classic designs have been in non-stop production for over 50 years. The ROCKMOUNT signature design with diamond snaps and sawtooth pockets is considered to be the longest production style shirt in America.
Today, what distinguishes ROCKMOUNT from other brands is the company's commitment to quality and classic design. Few other companies offer a range of over 100 fabrics including many of the fashion world's finest fabrics, also the softest plonge leather. While other companies fall all over each other copying what seems to be selling that season, ROCKMOUNT is committed to going its own way.
When ROCKMOUNT sees others doing a look, it takes a different direction in order to remain distinct. Likewise, while most American clothing companies stopped producing their products in America, ROCKMOUNT is one of the last predominantly US made brands. The company feels that its look is American and so should be its product. Being domestic gives it an advantage over the others because fashion moves fast. Now with the internet, fashion moves at the speed of thought. While other brands take months to get to market, ROCKMOUNT can develop new designs in a week, be in the stores in 6 weeks.

bumGenius! products were created by Cotton Babies, Inc.
In keeping with the saying, "necessity is the mother of invention", all of our products have been designed out of a need for something different. The Cotton Babies One-Size Microfiber Insert happened one night when I was sewing some inserts up for a customer. I had a snap press in my sewing room and late one night, totally on a whim, I added a snap to the insert to make it shorter. Our design was met with resounding 
applause and we were off and running. We both thought it made sense to design a diaper to work with our insert. The demands of a growing business and having another baby meant that it took some time for that dream to become reality. When it did though, bumGenius! One-Size Cloth Diapers were born.
Our bamboo fitteds and the all-in-one followed closely behind the one-size diaper... The bumGenius Bamboo Fitteds were designed for the family who wants great fit, fantastic absorbency and natural fibers against their baby's skin. The award winning bumGenius All-In-Ones appeal to the family who wants a simple, highly absorbent one-step system.
Today, bumGenius branded products are concientiously produced in the United States and shipped out of St. Louis, Missouri. You're welcome to visit our retail store anytime at 5165 Lemay Ferry Road. The store is conveniently located just off Interstate 55 at the southwest corner of Butler Hill and Lemay Ferry Road.
