Building seems to be on the
upsweep, according to Wendell
A. Smith of the Klamath Falls
Brick and Tile company.
. Smith reports that he has sev
eral large orders on hand for
new subdivision and large addi
tions to Industrial plants in the
Klamath basin. He added that
his company is now servicing
brick and tile requirements from
Bend to Sacramento.
Smith pointed out that the
company had produced no clay
tile during the last two years
due to inequable OPA ceilings,
which forced them out of the
business, but reported that once
more he was making tile and
that numerous orders were on
hand from farmers for tile in
the construction of potato cel
lars. He added that 1946 was the
greatest year in production and
sales for the company in 29
years of operation, and pointed
out the new trend toward mech
anization of the 'plant in order
to cut the costs of production.
