| WHAS11 News posted The Town of Clarksville held an illumination ceremony on Saturday for its iconic Colgate Clock ahead of its upcoming 101st anniversary on Monday. |
"At its peak in the mid-1960s, Clarksville's Colgate-Palmolive plant was filled with some 1,500 workers who made toothpaste, shaving cream and cleansers." It closed in 2008.
