Abstract:

Hugh R. Perry and ten Sanford businessmen founded Lee Brick & Tile Company in Sanford in the early 1950s. Perry later bought out his associates, and the business still remains in his family's hands. The company occupies a twenty-acre site along with its shale pit. Lee Brick will make about 40 million bricks this year. North Carolina is second only to Texas in output.
