Patton Clay Manufacturing Company Records
The town of Patton was founded in 1893. Shortly thereafter, the Patton
Clay Manufacturing Co. commenced operation. The plant employed 100 men and made sewer pipe
and paving and building brick. By the early part of the twentieth century, the plant
stretched for eight acres and included two factory buildings, thirty-seven lime kilns, and
duplexes where workers were housed. The Patton Clay Manufacturing Co. continued its
operations until the mid-1950's.
The contents of this collection includes letters dating back to 1898. The material
contains detailed information concerning the filling and delivery or orders to a wide
range of customers. Other items include correspondence and a commemorative booklet.
This collection also contains material that deals with the George S. Good & Co. from
1898-1902. This company was a contracting firm located in El Paso, Texas, with camps in
Tucumcari, Mexico. Correspondence between the camps and the main office deal with requests
for money and help with administrative problems and labor.
