The 2013 annual Fulton Montgomery New York Livability Magazine featured a mention of Townsend Leather and upstate New York manufacturing.

The “We’ve Got It Made” article said:

Local Manufacturers produce wide variety of Quality goods

FOLLOWING TRADITION

Leather-making shares in the economic tradition here, as there were more than 300 leather companies in Johnstown and Gloversville in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  About a dozen leather companies operate here today, notably Townsend Leather, which makes upholstery leather for aircraft, yachts and automobiles…

The local Chamber of Commerce was proud to mention Townsend, and Townsend is equally proud to be shown as an example of quality manufacturing going strong in upstate New York.
