Sandblast Carving Replaces Hand Chisel In New Mill
Nichols Memorial Co introduces sand blast lettering that speeds monument work. Foreman Vincent Gildea notes 1946 equipment cuts in an hour and a half what formerly took a day and half. Wages shift from 3.00 a day to 1.50 an hour. The firm, six weeks old, has produced over 100 monuments from 5,000 pound slabs with six assistants and A. D. Parker among the operators. The process uses elastic glue stencils and 80 pounds pressure. The company can carve stone and glass and serves a 150 mile radius from Amarillo.
