BRICK VALUE HOUSE
H. B. Foster, General Manager
Brick & Tile Service, Inc.

"I commend the North Carolina brick industry for addressing itself to the low-income housing problem," says North Carolina's Governor Dan Moore in thanking the masonry industry of his state for going to bat on low-cost housing.

It's no trick to build something cheap; but Governor Moore's Advisory Committee on Low-Income Housing felt that there must be a better way than merely cutting down on size, or substituting cheaper materials, or going the house-trailer route. So, with the notion that intelligent use of quality materials can often save money, the committee staff turned to the local brick industry for help.

(Editor's note: North Carolina produces 12% of the Nation's brick, far outstripping any other state. Thus known as "The Brick Capital of the Nation," the Tar Heel state maintains an extremely active brick association with a staff of highly qualified professional engineers. This is the group whose assistance was sought by Governor Moore's committee.-Ed.)
