Use Rags For Making Building Materials
In the backyard of the million dollar plant of the Los Angeles Paper Manufacturing Company are great stacks of baled rags, gathered from nearly every country on the globe. As fast as a Z4-hour production schedule can assimilate them, they are sorted and put through the various processes necessary to the manufacture of high grade building and roofing felts.
After the felt is completed, it is put through the asphalt saturation vats and coated and dried and turned out in huge rolls, which are cut into suitably sized rolls of roofing, 6r run through the shingle machine to come out in strips of slate-surfaced hexagon shingles in six different natural colors.
"People might think that because we use old rags our products can be turned out cheaply," said N. L. Brinker, director of sales. "Getting the rags is simple, compared to the scientific development of the processes through which they must pass to become good roofing products. Special machinery has been designed to handle this work and we have installed the finest equipment obtainable.
"Ifaving been right here in this business for more than 25 years, we are in a position to know that quality production is the only safe road to success, so we stick to it and still keep our prices right."
