What's this?

My grandfather wore the Pointer brand overhalls 6 days a week of the farm.

Back in the day, he bought them from a county store on US 16 in NC, near the VA line. I figured the company was long gone like most US clothing makers. They look exactly the same on the website as they did 40 years ago when grandpa wore them, amazing to find they are still making them.
