Ite-QjiALmr Storjs or Portland v , Our New Store Talks Number Fifteen Tiling, the most ancient of all man-made compositions, now occupies a very large place in the construction of buildings. This industry, though one of the oldest in the world, has only developed in America within the last 25 years all tiling previous to that time coming, from Europe. It is a known fact that tiling, manufactured from clay, will outwear marble, steel and wood, none of the reasons for decay, like crumbling, rot or rest being possible. Tiles that were in existence as early as 747 B. C, now in the hands of archaeologists, are much the same as those in use today. The tiling used in our new building is known as white vitreous which means that there is no known chemical, tool or instrument that can penetrate it. It is impervious to grease, paint, etc. It is only since our 1905 Fair' that tiling has been generally used in Portland in construction work, and now Portland is known as one of the largest tile-using cities on the Coast.
