Cannon Bath Towel Company on Fun Fact Friday

CANNON

     Since we have been talking about naps/siestas this week, I thought let's learn some fun facts about the company Cannon. They started with absorbent bath towels. Cannon Home online also sells, bedding (take a nap in your own bed), shower curtains and bath rugs.

Fun Facts

The initial brand name was Cannon Towels
