Full Steam Ahead – Nocona family rescues boot factory
By ERIC VICCARO
Earlier this year, the former Montague Boot Company of Nocona was in serious danger of closing.
That was until members of the James Fenoglio family stepped in to purchase the business, and renamed it the Fenoglio Boot Company.
The Fenoglio Boot Company, a manufacturer with 48 employees as of press time, is located at 1606 W. Pine Street. It’s one of the largest employers in the community. James Fenoglio is no stranger to the business working as production manager the past several years
The Fenoglios purchased the business from Bill and Jim Williams of Dallas on April 1.
