The Bowerston Shale Company, at Bowerston, Ohio was incorporated in 1929, and started tile produc­ tion in January 1930. At that time the Company specialized soley in the manufacture of Drain Tile, and began with a single beehive kiln to burn the ware produced. Officers were: Samuel D. Milliken, President, Edward C. Milliken, Treasurer & General Manager, Wilbur 0. Demuth, Secretary, W. Boyce Masters, Director. The original factory crew consisted of: Floyd E. Roth, Wilfred B. McCauley, William N. Huff, Lor­ enzo E. Kinsey, Foster J. Furbay, Roy V. Demuth, James Sell. Of the list, two of the original men, Mr. Roth and Mr. McCauley are still with the Company. In the first year the plant capacity was approximately 2600 tons. This capacity has increased to approximately 20,000 tons per year at the present time. All ware is now fired in two electronically controlled, gas-fired, continuous kilns; one of which has been in operation since 1946 and the other since 1960. In 1949, the Bowerston Shale Co., acquired a brick plant at Hanover, Ohio, which operates under the same name. This plant has since been rebuilt to produce approximately 16,000,000 brick per year. Frank H. Milliken became associated with the Company in 1949 and is the President and General Manager of the Company. Other officers are: William U. Milliken, Vice President, Frank H. Milliken Jr., The Bowerston Shale Co., Plant No. l , Bowerston, Ohio Treasurer, and Charles T. Greenlee, Secretary. Products: Drain tile, Perforated tile, Filter Block, Plain End Pipe. The Resident Manager of the Bowerston plant is Frank H. Milliken, Jr., and Dean C. Edie is the Re:;ident Manager of the Hanover plant. Superintendent of the Bowerston plant is Floyd Roth, and Floyd Renicker is Superintendent of the Hanover Plant. William U. Milliken is General Superintendent and Engineer of both plants. Today the personnel of the Company consist of approximately seventy-two employees at the Bowers­ ton and Hanover Plants. Constant modernization of the manufacturing techniques, materials, and handling equipment are re­ sponsible for the high quality and low initial cost of Bosco drainage pipe and face brick. Both plants utilize shale deposits near the factories, which are selected for strength, color and dur­ ability. The shale is crushed, powered, and screened, then fed to modern "pug-mill" presses which produce uniform and exacting "wet" ware. The ware is dried in scientific dryers at controlled heats to remove all moisture. The dry ware is then fed into tunnel kilns for burning or vitrification which turns nature's mater­ ials into a durable stone-like product. The care used in manufacturing insures a durable product that with­ stands nature's punishment, and time's wear. Drain tile is used in draining fields and roadways, or anywhere that surface water and sub-surface water is a problem in farming and light construction. Perforated drain tile, is an innovation designed by Bosco, for scientific collection of water without the need for spacing of tile or "tar-paper" covers be­ tween the joints. It is used in commerical and farm drainage, and septic-tank leaching beds. Perforated Plain End Pipe, with Tru-Line Spring Clip Connectors (another Bosco innovation) is ceramic glazed inside for heavy duty commercial projects. This line is used in the construction of highways, airports, railroads, athletic fields, parking lots, and structural foundations. Filter Block are designed for use in city desposal systems, and Bosco is one of six plants producing this unusual product. Bosco also manufactures a complete line of fittings. These fittings are reinforced with a white line of clay and are sought by both customers and by other tile manufacturers. Bosco face brick are produced in Standards, Normans and Romans. The famous "blush-buff' color is individual and distinctive, and is sought by builders for attractive brick homes, schools, and commerical buildings. The Bowerston Shale Co., Plant No. 2, Hanover, Ohio, (RD No. 7, Newark, Ohio) Products: Face Brick, "Velvets", "Rugs", "Rock Face". You can depend on Bosco products, and you can depend upon The Bowerston Shale Company to continue to develop superior products to meet the changing needs and times that will keep pace with the future growth of Harrison County, and the forward movement of Harrison County throughout the THE BOWERSTON SHALE CO. country.
