FINDLAY, July 13 — (Special) Porcelain Products, Inc., is the name of a new firm, the result of a consolidation of six companies with factories located in Ohio and West Virginia, which will make its headquarters in this city.

J. E. Bicknell, who for many years has been president of the local plant becomes president of the new organization. Other officers of the new concern are F. E. Owen, vice president, Parkersburg, W.

The corporation's papers were issued in Delaware. All of the assets of the six companies involved have been purchased by the new company. None of the plants will be moved from their present locations, but will serve their geographical locations as much as possible.
