Photos by Jennifer Packard<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Lauren Stepp<\/p>\n<p>On February 3, 2019, Gary Corn and his spouse, James Blanton, were sipping wine in their Tryon gazebo when Blanton\u2019s phone lit up. It was a notification from eBay. A precious piece of local history was on the market and the two needed to act fast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe bought it right then and there for $250,\u201d Corn says, pulling a receipt from a drawer in his kitchen. The receipt is for three bolts of Biltmore Industries homespun wool\u2014one herringbone gray, one navy blue and one verdant green. To a layperson, this find would be unspectacular, even pricey. But to Corn and Blanton, history buffs who own Polk County\u2019s nearly century-old Mill Farm Inn, the fabric was a steal. Those familiar with the global prominence of Biltmore Industries might think so too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47197\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47197\" class=\"wp-image-47197\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Blanton-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Blanton-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Blanton-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Blanton-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-923x1024.jpg 923w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Blanton-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-768x852.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Blanton-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-810x898.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Blanton-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-1140x1264.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Blanton\u2019s blazer<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The story starts in 1901 when northern missionaries Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale started offering free woodworking lessons to neighborhood children at Biltmore\u2019s All Souls Church. News traveled quickly to Edith Vanderbilt, the matron saint of Appalachia.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the classes as a way of providing locals with a profitable trade, Mrs. Vanderbilt helped launch a full-on craft education enterprise called Biltmore Estate Industries in 1905.<\/p>\n<p>By 1909, the venture had moved away from wooden bowls and picture frames and was instead digging deep into the cultural fabric of Western North Carolina. Mountain folk had been weaving for centuries, and Biltmore Estate Industries sought to refine the timeworn practice. Working on looms made in-house, local women processed crude wool into high-quality fabric that would later be sold to affluent tourists visiting the area.<\/p>\n<p>But the idea didn\u2019t truly take off until 1917 when Mrs. Vanderbilt sold Biltmore Estate Industries to Fred Loring Seely, manager of the Grove Park Inn. Seely was an enterprising man. After shortening the company\u2019s name and moving the looms to the inn, he began tapping into his sprawling social network to spread the good word of Biltmore Industries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnybody famous who came to the Grove Park Inn went home with a bolt of Biltmore Homespun,\u201d says Blanton. \u201cMr. Seely was a marketing genius.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47200\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47200\" class=\"wp-image-47200\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1-785x1024.jpg 785w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1-768x1002.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1-1178x1536.jpg 1178w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1-810x1056.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/History-Corn-Blazer.-Photo-by-Jennifer-Packard-copy-1-1140x1487.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Corn\u2019s blazer<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Soon enough, Thomas Edison, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller and Herbert Hoover all wore the Asheville-made fabric.
