HISTORY
When Peter Cichowic began assembling looms at his home workshop in McAdoo, he couldn't have imagined how those machines would bring the next 3 generations of his family together.
​
Every day, the whole family would pitch in and make rugs to sell to the people of McAdoo, PA and surrounding towns. Demand for this superior product grew. At its peak, Ace Rug Works employed over 40 people, which helped put food on many tables during the 1920s and 1930s.
​
Currently, 2 original looms still exist and continue to produce the same high quality carpets that were made back then!
​
The Cichowic Family continues to work side-by-side to craft beautiful rugs.
