Charles and brother Aaron, along with Aaron's sons Attwood and Norman, also opened a brickyard at Snook's Harbour.
{{Blockquote

The company reorganized into the Newfoundland Brick and Manufacturing Company Limited in 1904 to make sand and lime bricks in St. John's, but closed in 1908. Living in Elliott's Cove when The Brick and Tile Manufacturing Company first arrived in 1890, were three Smith brothers; Thomas, Aaron and Charles. Lumbermen Aaron and Charles became intrigued by the company's brickworks.
