BRODIE SHINGLE COMPANY
Grady Creek
Continued from: John Dornath & Sons
April 25, 1935: "Myrtle Point and its environs now boasts of another new industry, the manufacture of grooved shingles and shakes, with the purchase of the former Dornath Shingle mill of Coquille. The Brodie Shingle company of this city are the new owners not only of the equipment to produce this type of shingle, but also of the patent rights thereto.
The Brodie plant, which is located on Grady creek between Myrtle Point and Norway on the Myrtle Point-Coquille highway, has recently completed an addition to their mill which approximately doubles their floor space. And this new equipment for manufacturing grooved shakes for use on the exterior of residences promises to gain for them quite an increase in business. In addition to this added line, this mill also manufacture boxes and crates for which there is quite a demand in this territory.
E. F. Brodie and sons, E. Darrell Brodie and Eldon Brodie, purchased their mill originally from John Dornath when he was operating it at the foot of Maple street in Myrtle Point in August 1932. Approximately a year and a half ago they moved the mill to their present location, and this added line and enlarged mill will help them cater to the building trade in this section of the state."
