Lineberry Foundry and Machine Company
The Lineberry Foundry and Machine Company was a North Carolina-based manufacturer, primarily known for producing industrial factory carts from the early 1900s.
The company supplied heavy-duty, four-wheel carts to the furniture, textile, and other factories across the Southeast for moving large materials. Today, these antique Lineberry factory carts are popular for their industrial design and are often reclaimed for use as furniture, such as coffee tables or kitchen islands. Many carts are marketed as more than 100 years old; however, most were manufactured after 1952.
Charles Francis Lineberry (1878-1947) began what was first called the Lineberry Foundry & Furniture Company in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, in the early 20th century.
Born in Randolph County in 1878, he was the son of Confederate veteran Winfield Scott Lineberry, author of a noted family genealogy, and Hulda Vickery Lineberry. He married the former Zilphey Holden of Elkin in 1902 and worked for a foundry in Winston-Salem before he started the operation in North Wilkesboro. After his death in 1947, Albert S. Garwood Sr. purchased the Lineberry foundry and ran it until the 1980s.[1]
