Kennedy & Bowden Machine Company, Inc.
I found a very interesting and wonderfully detailed history of on the internet. If all local companies would take the time to write, and make available, something similar about their business it would be informative for all and insure that the details would not be lost. The company had it's beginning in Nashville in 1913.

Thank you, Debie! My father worked there when my family first moved to Nashville.
ReplyDeleteI worked here briefly as a young man when the was still located in downtown Nashville. There was a lot of history there. They had an American Flag up on the wall that was posted there on December 7th and had never been taken down since. All of the Machinists were true professionals who loved the firm's history and knew it well. They would all take their breaks outside together. They also all wore the company uniform. So any given afternoon you could see a line of Kennedy & Bowden men sitting on the curb in downtown Nashville watching the people go by.
