Marsh Wall Products, Inc., Dover, Ohio, manufacturers of "Marlite" plastic-finished 'ivall and ceiling panels, will complete in April a $300,000 new building program that will mean greatly expanded facilities for the production of its products. The building program is part of the expansion plan annouuced rvhen Marsh recently became a subsidiary of the Nfasonite Corporation.
For many years N{asonite has been closely associated with Marsh Wall Products, Inc.

The building program itself includes:
1. A r-rerv 12,500 square foot addition to the main Marsh plant, in order to step up the production of the nerv Marble and \\rood-Patterns of Marlite.
2. Nerv rvarehousing and shipping facilities that will provide approximately another 31,000 square feet of floor space.
3. A complete nerv office building u'ith approximately 14,000 square feet of floor sPace.
The main Marsh plant addition is being built arounC and over the space presently occupied by the old ofifice building, rvhich is being torn down. Here rvill be installeci a new high production baking oven and related equipmenl: which will be used for the increased production of nert' Marlite Marble and Wood Patterns, and rvill increase fa' cilities for the production o{ the popular N{arlite panels in plain colors, horizontaline and tile patterns.
The second plant addition rvill provide moulding production lines, expanded shipping facilities, added storagc space for the inventory of finished products, and will also supplement the present production areas' With this enlarged inventory space, orders can be delivered right from stock, V. R. Marsh, executive vice-president, points out'
Completely modern and air-conditioned, the new Marsh general office building will also feature displaying model Marlite installations.
The present Marsh plant covers a site of about 8 acrcs at Dover, Ohio. Upon completion of the nerv plant additions and office building, the total plant and office spacc will aggregate 163,000 and 14,000 square feet respectively. It will now be possible, Mr. Marsh states, to step up the output of the ner,v r,r'ood and marble patterns rvithout interrupting production of the other lines.
