(AET) formed in 1875 with first plant in Zanesville OH, they greatly expanded to include plants in Perth Amboy NJ, Hermosa Beach CA & Vernon CA by buying defunct tile manufacturers.The Depression hit hard and unlike GMB, they did not expand their product line into other ceramic items like Dinnerware, Pottery, etc. They went into bankruptcy in 1933, and the US Bankruptcy court assigned Malcolm Schweiker of Franklin Tile Co. located in Lansdale Pennsylvania as trustee to sell off assets.Mr. Schweiker purchased the New Jersey plant and assumed the stock market exchange name AET which was valuable. He continued to use the name for some time and later, after purchased Olean Tile Co. and American Tile Co. he changed the company name to American Olean Co.AET owned the trademark HERMOSA and when GMB (Gladding McBean) purchased the Hermosa Beach plant, they continued to use the Hermosa name on their tiles until about 1962 when they merged with Lock Joint Pipe Co to form Int’l Pipe & Ceramics Corp and later began to use the trademark Interpace.
