McFEELY BRICK COMPANY
The McFeely Brick Company was organized in 1900,
and incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania in 1901.
A silica brick plant was built at Latrobe, Pa., with an
original capital of $40,000.00. The production during
the first few years was about 3,000,000 brick a year, which
has since increased to 20,000,000 brick and the capitaliza-
tion to $160,000.00. Ten years ago, a first quality fire
brick plant at Bolivar, Pa., was added, specializing on a
slay brick adapted to open hearth steel practice. From
time to time over a period of twenty years, the company
has purchased coal lands about their plants which assure
their fuel supply for a half a century or more. The com-
pany employs about 850 men.
