Pipe Company Sold-Lack Of
Local Support Causes Trouble

The Aberdeen Glazed Cement Pipe
Co., organized few years ago by
local men, with the object of supply
ing the Grays Harbor region with ce.
ment pipe, has practically ceased to
exist, and the plant was sold Monday
by Constable Fenwick to satisfy a
claim of $50, held by J. M. Vasbind-
er. The plant was bought for the
amount of the judgment by L. G.
Humbargar. manager Of the Inde.
pendent Sand & Gravel Co.
The organization of this company
was the means of saving the city
considerable money in the purchase
Of sewer pipe, but it had insufficient
capital to endure. AS soon as it be.
gan operations, large concerns on the
Sound reduced the price of cement
products on Grays Harbor to a point
impossible to compete with, and SO
put the new company out of business
