Chartered on December 22, 1961, 2011 marks the year that the City of Franklin reaches the ripe old age of 50. As the City celebrates her 50th birthday, businesses that have been operating for 50 years or more were given a special seal to commemorate the occasion and asked to display the seal in their business as part of the year-long celebration. Manry-Rawls, founded in 1972, is celebrating their 139th anniversary!!
