Dietz Crewneck Sweatshirts

At age 22, in 1840, Robert Edwin Dietz bought a small lamp and oil shop in Brooklyn, NY. Robert, with his brother William, called the company Dietz, Brother, and Company. One of their first products was a candle lantern; they later made sperm whale oil lamps, girandoles, hall lamps, and chandeliers. Three more of the brothers joined the company in 1855, and the name became Dietz and Company. In 1868, Robert sold his interest in Dietz and Company and partnered with Absalom Smith to form a new company, Dietz & Smith. When Smith purchased 6,000 velocipedes (a mid-19th-century bicycle) on company credit, Robert decided he was a bad business partner, bought Smith’s interest, and continued the company as R.E. Dietz.

When World War II ended, the United States was in better economic condition than any other country in the world as GIs bought houses and started families. Furniture manufacturers went into overdrive to furnish all those new homes. The bulk of those factories were in and around High Point, North Carolina, where an estimated 60% of all American furniture was produced within a 150-mile radius. Seeing opportunity, Dietz Motor Lines (DML) of Hickory, North Carolina was founded in the late '40s as a specialty carrier to the booming furniture industry. DML operated nationally for several major furniture makers, hauling product to furniture showrooms, warehouses, and direct to consumer in many cases into the early 2000s before being bought up.
