To keep in business going during the Depression, they began producing artware in 1934. They used clay from Georgia and England, feldspar from South Dakota, and sand from Illinois. The artware was sold nationwide in fine departments store including Marshall Fields, Gimbals, and Wananakers. An increase for the plumbing fixtures led to the software stopping production in 1950. They are still in business today as part of Briggs Industries. (13561126255)
