The Perdue records have been kept in the arrangement in which they were found and donated to the Heritage Room, alphabetically in file folders. Some files may be inaccessible due to their inclusion of personal information of employees.

The records include documentation of sales, reports, employee records, and bank information. Also included are letters from local and federal governmental agencies, letters from customers, and documents regarding patents and trademarks dating from the mid-1950s.

The second series contains materials of a similar nature that were separate from the bulk of the materials in the initial donation. These have been organized in folders according to their content.

The third, fourth, and fifth series are comprised of additional materials from the same original accession found in Heritage Room storage in 2025. Included in these items are the contents of two alphabetized file boxes, both manufactured by the Athens-based McGregor Company. These have been kept in their original, alphabetical order. The McGregor boxes themselves, however, were soiled and damaged and have been discarded. The dates for both, as well as the “Paul Biels” designation on the latter, were both handwritten on the side labels of the boxes. We cannot confirm at this time if a Paul Biels worked at Perdue. The final item is a stack of Cutting and Production Sheet files related to the company’s production of pants.
