In 1917, an industrious 17-year-old North Carolinian named A. Leon Capel started a company manufacturing mule plow lines and ropes. He named his company Gee-Haw, because mules back then had a language all their own: “Gee” for turn right, “Haw” for turn left, “Whoa” for stop and “Git Up” for go.

Shortly after, while in Atlanta to find distributors for his goods, young Leon found his downfall instead: a mechanical tractor that could outperform mules 100 to 1 in the field. Leon quickly surmised that his new company was, in fact, at the end of its rope.

Not a quitter, more of a “Git Up” and goer, Leon recognized that machines were the future and quickly bought sewing machines. He braided his ropes instead of twisting them together and sewed those braids into the very first Capel rug.

New materials and mills were soon added, his children and grandchildren learned the rug trade and the company branched out from braids to offer high-quality imported collections.

Now we’re celebrating 100 years, and we’re doing it the only way we know how—by continuing the family legacy. Each day Capel’s employees and our weaving partners worldwide work together to enhance our reputation as the industry leader in braids and handwoven rugs.

For cleaning your specific area rug, it’s always best to check the manufacturers guidelines, often found on a care label on the underside of a rug. For liquid spills, quick action is essential in order to keep a permanent stain from setting into the rug. For liquid spills, use a clean, undyed cloth and press firmly around the spill, absorbing as much as possible. NEVER RUB! This will cause the stain to set deeper into the rug, making it harder to remove and increasing the likelihood that it will remain. For difficult to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
