STONE TILE TO
BE INTRODUCED
INTO THE VALLEY

The National StoneTile Company of
San Francisco is now arranging to es-
tablish plant here for the manufac-
ture of STONE-TILE hollow concrete
brick. Negotiations are in progress with
local men who are seeking to obtain the
privilege for the manufacturing of
STONE-TILE in this locality.
Although the company began its
California expansion only a short
time ago there are said to be nearly
twenty plants in operation in the San
Joaquin valley where the product was
first introduced. These manufacturers
represent many of the foremost pro
ducts men of that section and include
nearly all the members of the cement
pipe association there.
The most interesting feature of
StoneTile is the unique process of
manufacture in which an extrawet mix
of concrete is used without requiring
any machinery, pallets or expensive
equipment of any kind. The product
is of unusually high quality and is quite
small and handy in shape so as to be
adaptible to practical building con
struction and present AM attractive
appearance in the wall.
