Wenzel
The company struggled to make a profit in its early years, but with the help of his family, they pivoted from awnings and began manufacturing tents and tarpaulins. The agriculture boom at the beginning of the 20th century sparked large demand for their products as well as wagon covers. A sailmaker by trade, Wenzel knew heavy fabrics and experimented with sewing these fabrics to improve durability and performance without compromising quality for product.
