Bricklayers Sponsor Apprenticeship Contest

Trimble Tech High School's trades area was the scene in February for the All City Bricklayers' Apprenticeship Competition sponsored by the Fort Worth (Texas) Local #6 Joint Board of Masonry Workers and Bricklayers.

Twenty-six contestants were given two hours to construct walls which varied in specifications according to their experience levels.

The first-place winners, who received tools and plaques as prizes, were Burten Lewis, Fort Worth, a third-year student and defending champion from last year's second-year level; John Hopkins, Mineral Wells, second-year student, and Eddy Nobles, first-year student.

Gilson Names Agency

Gilson Brothers Co., Plymouth, Wis., has announced the appointment of Carling Sales Co., South Hackensack, N.J., as sales agent for its Mixer Division in the States of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. Carling has represented Gilson in the northeastern states for the past 18 years.

Gilson manufactures a wide range of mortar-plaster and concrete mixers.

Small Business Loans

The Office of the Chief Counsel for Advocacy has prepared a list of banks offering special small business loan rates. These are generally smaller banks which do not use the prime rate in connection with setting their loan rates and thus could not adopt any form of "two-tiered" interest rate systems.

Additional details can be obtained from Herbert A. Biern, Assistant Chief Counsel for Credit and Finance, U.S. Small Business Administration, 1441 L. St., N.W., Rm. 219, Washington, DC 20416, (202) 653-6998.
