History of Pomona Tile
Pomona Tile was founded in 1923 by Judson Clark and was acquired within its first year by R.J. Schroeder,
who maintained the offices and factory at Third and Reservoir Streets in Pomona, California. The company
specialized initially in unglazed ceramic mosaics, but by the end of the decade both ceramic floor and wall
tiles were produced. The height of production came in the mid-1950s when Drew Schroeder took over the reins
from his father. But competition was intense, and despite the broadening of its product lines, the company
began losing its grip by the early-sixties. American Olean acquired Pomona in 1966 providing the backing and
leadership to introduce Pomona Stone and the colorful Caribbean line. AO sold the company to Huntington Tile
in 1976, ending over 50 years of Pomona tile production.

Box full of History
A friend wanted to know if I wanted a box full of old newspapers, I said sure, some date to 1939.
This market is still there, on the northeast corner of Indian Hill and Mission, a bit different, but still there.
