Hide Profile

Summitville Tiles, Inc. of Summitville, Columbiana County, Ohio, was founded in 1912 as the Summit Brick Co. In 1920, F. H. Johnson converted operations to the manufacturing of face brick. The company flourished and became well known for their deep red bricks called "Summitville Reds." In 1947, F. H. Johnson's two sons Fred and Pete took over the company and renamed it Summitville Tiles. They began producing quarry tiles in various shapes and colors. In the mid 1980s, the third generation, brothers Bruce and Dave, took over the company. Summitville Tiles, Inc. is one of the nation's oldest continually-operating tile companies.

Hillary Rodham Clinton was born in 1947 in Illinois. In 1973, she graduated from Yale Law School. In 1975, she married Bill Clinton and moved to Arkansas. She served as First Lady of Arkansas from 1979-1981 and 1982-1992. She became the First Lady of the United States in 1992 and served in that role until 2000. In 1994, a controversy arose about a profitable investment Clinton made in cattle futures in 1978; no official investigations resulted and no charges were brought against her. In 2000, Hillary Clinton was elected to the United States Senate representing the state of New York. She won re-election to the seat in 2006.
