Administrative history
Standard Clay Products Limited was at one time the largest manufacturer of clay products in Canada. In 1902, the Standard Drain Pipe Company, which was established ca. 1880 in Saint John, Quebec, built a factory near New Glasgow to take advantage of 63 acres of land from which the raw clay was harvested. The raw clay was located above drainage and easily and cheaply obtainable. The factory comprised two plants and 19 kilns, which had a weekly output of 65 carloads per week, which added up to 52,000 tons yearly. Standard Clay Products employed 150 people in its manufacture of salt-glazed vitrified sewer pipes, ranging in size from 4 to 24 inches, as well as connections, culvert pipes, inverts flue linings, stove linings, fire-brick range bricks, locomotive blocks, gully traps, hollow vitrified building blocks, and cupola linings.
