Harry Flowers: Southern Cotton Ginners’ Ginner of the Year

Harry Flowers became part owner of what was then Flowers Gin when he was 26 years old. Forty-three years later, the gin continues to thrive although many other country gins have fallen by the wayside. Flowers, who received the Southern Cotton Ginners Association Ginner of the Year Award at its awards banquet Thursday night, talked about his years with this gin in this interview at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tenn.
