U. S. Quarry Tiles are made from shale, thoroughly hard burned
to a beautiful red shade and the absorption is very low.
They are made in sizes 12x12 to 3x3, in thickness of 1½ to ¾
inches.

Sizes 6x6 and under are also made in ½-inch thickness.

Special attention is given to sizing and shading and the tiles
are acknowledged to be the best on the market.

Two factories are being operated on
quarry tiles, with a daily capacity of ten
thousand square feet.
