Three industrious
Perryans have once again
proved that America is the
land of opportunity for those
who have an idea and are
willing to work hard and sell
their idea and at the same
time turn out a good, sound
product.
Terry Lewis, John Teal
Lewis and Curtis Fountain
have done just that with
recently formed Perry
Marble and Plastics Co., one
of the newest and most
promising businesses in
Perry. They manufacture
beautiful marble sinks for
bathrooms in a variety of
colors and styles.
“We got the idea when we
found there was a real need
for a quality product of this
type and we went to work on
it,” Curtis Fountain said.
“Our little industry right
now is operating in the back
shop of Lewis Electric Co.,
but we are looking forward
to a growing and bright
future.”
Terry Lewis, 18 year old
son of John Teal Lewis, is

business is built into what
the three partners foresee
for the future.
The process to make the
marble sinks is multi-staged.
The marble dust is first
melted and mixed with
several other jelling
ingredients and colors in
preparation for pouring
either a double or single
sink, depending on what the
customer has ordered. They
have three molds in the
plant. After the liquid is
poured, it is compressed and
allowed to cool. The sink is
then cleaned, treated,
sanded and buffed.
