When visitors arrive at the office of America Knits in tiny Swainsboro, Ga., the first thing they see on the wall is a black-and-white photo that a company co-founder, Steve Hawkins, discovered in a local antiques store.

The scene reflects the heyday — and to Hawkins, the potential — of making clothes in the rural South.

Extreme cold warnings that have been in effect for much of Manitoba for days have been ended in parts of the north but continue for the southern half of the province on Friday.
