Dennis, north of Caldwell, suf-
fered fractured skull last Tues

Noble Block Go.
Production Falls
Short OF Demand

Ralph Gibbs, owner of the
Noble Block Company, whose
operations are located at the old
Caldwell mine site, north of
Caldwell, reports orders for
blocks are exceeding his capacity
for production.
/ The Noble Block Company is
now in its first year of operation,
and has expanded its facilities
where it processes all building
sizes, four, eight and II inch
blocks.
A new building where the
newly manufactured blocks are
stored for a period of time, to
assure proper drying, was con-
structed this past winter. This
enables Gibbs to speed up deliv-
cry of his product which has
been a factor for him to meet
competition from other block
manufacturing firms.
Gibbs maintains a stock pile
for truck customer pick up at
the plant site and also for
delivery of blocks to construc-
tion jobs.
The Noble Block Company has
four employees and it is expected
with the advent of summer and
the building trade hitting high
level, others will be added to
compensate for the anticipated
increased business.
The company has production
capacity of $50 blocks a day.
Users of the Gibbs-made block
report the product is substan-
TALLY better than those pre-
viously used on local construc-
ton Jobs.
