The Magic of M&Z since 1946!

M&Z began in 1946 by James J. Macdonald. James, a native of Boston, was sent to Carlislefor fighter pilot training at Dickinson College during the War Effort. After the war, he returned to Carlisle with his bride, Veryl, who was from nearby Mt. Holly Springs. With jobs hard to find after the war, James began refinishing and reupholstering furniture (which he learned from a “how-to” book). The name “M&Z” came from “Macdonald” and “Zell”, who was his partner in the early years.

Area rug cleaning was added into the business the following year. Shortly after that the demand for wall-to- wall carpet was beginning to grow. James capitalized on this by developing a long lasting relationship with Masland Carpets, a major carpet manufacturer in Carlisle, PA. He would regularly take his trucks to the mill to pick up loads of remnants and rolls of carpet. M&Z quickly became one of Masland’s largest customers.

In 1961, M&Z expanded to open another store in Mechanicsburg. Several years later, M&Z crossed the river to Harrisburg. With (3) large stores in central Pennsylvania, M&Z became the area’s premier carpet retailer.

M&Z Carpets continues to clean oriental and area rugs in one of the few remaining rug cleaning plants in the state. Our full service workroom can bind, seam and fringe area rugs. We also clean and repair/refringe oriental rugs.
