“Those who have erected brick residences at Marshville say they can be erected now at a cost not much above wood buildings. Counting paint and repair expenses that come along periodically, the net cost of brick in the long run is the lowest. A good brick bungalow can be erected here for $5,000 or less. The mot expensive item connected with the question of a brick building is the high cost of laying the brick.
We sometimes wonder why more college graduates who are working for small salaries don’t get into the brick-laying business where they can make respectable wages.”
From the editorial page of the North Wilkesboro Hustler, Feb. 20, 1924, W.E. Pharr and R.B. Pharr, editors and publishers
