Planning for Our
Centennial!
In just a few years, the Claybank Brick
Plant will celebrate the centennial of its construction. Although the plant did not start production
until 1914, construction started in 1912.
To celebrate our centennial, we invite you
to mark the last Sunday in June 2012 on your calendar, and to come to Claybank
for a once-in-a-lifetime party!But we also need your help to plan for this
important milestone date. We need to
find the names and addresses of people whose ancestors were involved with the
planning, construction and operation of the Claybank Brick Plant. Perhaps someone in your family worked here,
or your ancestors were part owners of the company. We have a long list for former owners and employees, and you can
check with us to make sure your family is on that list.
Perhaps you have photos, old newspaper
clippings and biographical information that you would be willing to share with
us. Please let us know what you
have. No item is too trivial for our
collection. And even a copy is welcome
if you do not want to donate the original.
We have also
discovered a few artifacts that have the CLAYBANK or a product name on them,
other than bricks, that is. There is a
business prospectus, and a very fine letter opener with the name Tee Pee Moka
on the handle. If you have any other
items, send us a photo for our collection.
