The M. Lowenstein Records consists of material documenting three South Carolina textile mills which Lowenstein owned for at least a portion of the time they were operating. There is one issue of a Rock Hill newspaper for 1949 celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Plant along with two 1956 issues of the Textile Workers Union of America newsletter, Textile Labor, related to a strike at that plant. Material related to the Chiquola Manufacturing Company includes an insurance map of the plant from 1902, financial and stockholder reports, 1902-1958, and photographs from the 1930s. Some of the photographs document community life such as sports and fraternal organizations. The records about the Orr Mills include a variety of records related to its fiftieth anniversary celebration in 1950, including a scrapbook and photographs. The documentation about the sale of the mill village in Anderson during 1949 details the process of liquidating these assets and includes names of purchasers and amounts paid. Photographs of Leon Lowenstein, executive chairman and John Andrew Lyons, president of Orr Mills included.
