About The Original
Townie®
 The Original Townie® Clothing Line began when
Frank P. Joseph Jr., a long time resident of Rochester, MA felt a strong need
to express his feelings for this town and the quality of life it represented.
"TOWNIE" seemed an appropriate term to
describe the sense of belonging and how connected he felt to this very special
place. Frank and his children proudly wore their Townie® shirts everywhere. It
wasnt long before it caught on at schools and other towns from this
tri-town community were requesting shirts named for their towns.
 In 1990 Frank lost his job as a Junior Manufacturing
Engineer due to a plant closing. He decided to apply for a trademark which was
approved for registration, had tee shirts for all three towns printed up and
started selling them from the back of his pickup truck at community events.
Today, sixteen years later, Townie Enterprises, Inc. is a full scale
manufacturing facility located in the same plant that closed their doors in
1990. His
screen printing operation is equipped with state of
the art automatic and manual presses. The embroidery department is also fully
automated with computerized, multi-head embroidery machines. Both departments
as well as an initial pad printing operation are supported by a talented
graphic art department which provides custom designs that illustrate those
things a particular town is best known for.
Now, Townie Enterprises, Inc. is poised to
proudly offer The Original Townie® Clothing Line &
Accessories to the world.
So, whenever you feel connected to a very
special place for its unique, original qualities... accept no imitations!
