FYI: “Fries (pronounced “freeze”) is an incorporated town located on the New River in Grayson County, Virginia, 15.5 miles (24 kilometers) northeast of the county seat in Independence — in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Highlands and on Virginia’s musical heritage trail, The Crooked Road. Named after prominent cotton mill owner, Francis Henry Fries, the town is noted as the former site of Washington Mill (1903-1989); as one of three end points of the New River Trail State Park and as the host of annual music festivals reflecting its strong bluegrass and country music traditions — with its August Old-Time Fiddlers’ and Bluegrass Convention and its September Festival by the New River.” (Wikipedia)

FYI: “Washington Mills produces an exceptionally diverse line of abrasive grains and fused materials and is the only producer of brown fused alumina, boron carbide, and silicon carbide in North America. Founded in 1868, Washington Mills began as Washington Mills Emery Manufacturing Company. It was the first abrasive producer in the United States and its sole product at that time was imported Turkish Emery Ore – a natural abrasive that was crushed and sized primarily for the polishing of farm tools.” (Google)
