Abstract:

Statesville's newest \"industry\" doesn't want any more orders; it's had it! An official of the three-man firm relates that the work, producing hand-made wooden shingles for building renovation, is far too difficult for mass production. J. O. Gaines, head of the organization, typically turns out three-eighths inch red oak shingles at the rate of 250 per day with the help of his sons.
