TILE FACTORIES—ALL IN THE COUNTY.
The Nevada Tile Factory, run by Messrs. Lockridge & Beaty, is doing an extensive business. They make the estimate of the number of tile that will be made from May 1st to December 1, 1886, at 600,000 tiles. This seems to be a big figure, but they are doing a big business.
Mr. Lyman and son are manufacturing extensively also, and estimate not less than 200,000 for the tile season. These two factories make a good showing for Nevada in tiling.
Mr. R. R. Thompson's tile factory is a short distance east of Maxwell, and the reports from its yield in tile are surely very good. Mr. T. is one of our stirring men—full of energy. It is understood that he turns out not less than 250,000 tiles during the tiling season each year. This, for convenience we call the "Maxwell Tile Factory."
"The Clear Creek Tile Works," Just west of the Agricultural College, seem to be doing good work. C. F. Mount is proprietor, but J. M. Stark is the manager. They manufacture about $4,000 worth during the tile season, and some 200,000 brisk. "Clear Creek" is a misnomer. The true and original name of the creek on which this factory is situated is "Luther Creek." Many years ago Mr. W . J. Graham, who resided where Mr. P. L. Porter afterwards lived, sometimes called it "Spring Creek." But "Luther" is the original name. We have a Clear Creek in Collins Township, and a Spring Branch in the southeast part of Grant Township. This mistake in the name will not affect the quality of the tile.
The Kelley Tile Factory, C. S. Giddings, proprietor; the first 500 brick made was on the twenty-fourth day of May, 1886.
Roland Tile Factory, near the southwest edge of town, is owned by Swenson, Thorson, & Co., and is doing a lively business in tile and brick manufacturing. They report 200,000 tile and 150,000 brick made during the season. This indicates thrift and stir in business.
