"BEST IN CLASS" SOCKS
We've been chugging along thru summer, full steam ahead (keyword: steamy, man it's hot!). With Fall just over the horizon now, Back to School shopping season is here.
While checking off those school supply lists, don't forget about socks! Comfort is key to helping your students stay focused on their education, so we like to say, "success starts from the feet up". With great options for the whole family, the Railroad Sock is dedicated to offering high-quality, American made socks at affordable prices. And in this issue, we'll share our recommendations to outfit your scholars this year.
FEATURED SOCKS
13 (PAIRS) FOR TEENS

These durable (polyester reinforced) socks are perfect for universal use, from gym class to everyday casual wear.

MONTHLY TIP
DEALS FOR ALL AGES
with the Bag Program
While the Bakers Dozen is great for Teens & Adults, how about the rest of the family? We've got them covered too! From Kids to Kings (extra large feet), our Bag Program offers our bestselling cotton socks in convenient multi-pair packs (either 6 or 8 pairs). And in more than just Crew fits. We've also got options for No-Show Socks, Quarters, and even classic Tubes! (Not sure what fit to get? Check out our Fitment Guide). These are great everyday options that you (or your kids) will enjoy wearing, all year long.

HAPPY RETIREMENT
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
This July, Railroad Sock celebrated the retirement of one of its longest tenured employees, Harold White. Harold joined the Railroad Sock in 1986 - 40 years ago! Since 1999, Harold has been the Warehouse Supervisor, overseeing the pulling and shipping of orders, as well as packaging over 20 million socks (by conservative estimates). His quiet and strong leadership has helped guide Railroad Sock for many years. Here's to our good friend, Harold. May you enjoy a happy and long retirement with family, and be proud of the legacy you built!
MEET THE CABOOSE CREW
ZACH DAVIS
Summer Crew
This summer, we were lucky to have Zach as part of the Railroad Sock Caboose Crew. A sophomore in high school, Zach joined our team to earn money to help his parents offset the costs of his karate travel and competition fees. When he's not at Railroad Sock, you'll likely find him on the water fishing, baking the best scones you've ever tasted, or training in karate, where he has already earned his second-degree black belt. While his summer with us was always meant to be temporary, Zach made a big impact by helping complete special projects and keeping our banding room running smoothly.
This weekend, Zach will be representing Team USA at the WKU World Karate Tournament in Berlin, Germany. We couldn't be more proud of him and wish him the very best of luck as he competes on the world stage.
If you'd like to help cheer Zach on, use code ZachUSA to receive 10% off your order (for a limited time). Railroad Sock will match your savings by donating an additional 10% of your purchase to Zach to help support his travel and competition expenses as he pursues his dream of competing on the world stage. It's a win-win—you save on your favorite socks while helping one of our own chase his goals. At Railroad Sock, we're proud to support the next generation of hardworking young people, and we're grateful to have customers like you who make stories like Zach's possible.
