Biographical History
The Adams-Millis Corporation was founded by John Hampton Adams and James Henry Millis in 1904 and became a leading hosiery manufacturer. Headquartered in High Point, N.C., the company by 1988 employed over 3,500 people and operated 16 factories under the leadership of its chairman and chief executive officer, James H. Millis, Sr. At that time one of its major clients was the Sara Lee Corporation, for which it produced Hanes brand socks. The idea of Sara Lee's acquiring Adams-Millis first arose in 1985 and meetings between Sara Lee and Adams-Millis officials concerning the prospect began in late 1986. The concept came to fruition in October 1988, when Adams-Millis's stockholders approved the acquisition agreement reached in June of that year.
