This Company is formed for tie purpose of carrying out Work-
man's Patent for manufacturing waterproof, common and hollow
bricks, tiles, &c.
The general complaint of architects, surveyors, builders, and others
engaged in the erection of docks, warehouses, tunnels, and other
structures, has been that, with our progress and improvements in
scientific and other matters, nothing has been produced that will per-
manently resist the destructive influence of damp. Cements, stuccos,
and other means have been introduced, but without success. Bricks
generally, from their porous nature, absorb and retain large quan-
tities of water, and become conductors of damp. The waterproof
bricks made by Mr. Workman's patent will not absorb or retain
moisture; neither are they affected by the atmosphere, thus reme-
dying the evil complained of.
It will be seen that bricks, tiles, &c., made under this patent, being
completely waterproof, with the same adhesive qualities as the com-
mon brick, possess great advantage over all others in the construe-
ton or building of foundations, warehouses, Vaults, tunnels, docks,
walls. tanks, baths, &c., and for brickwork of every description.
The peculiar character of these tricks has been proved, by the
practical tests of the gentlemen comprising the Jury of Class 27 at
the Great Exhibition of All Nations in 1851.
The patentee has not only obtained the prize medal front the Corn-
. rnissioners of the Great Exhibition of 1851, but he has been honoured
by the high commendation of his Royal Highness the Prince Con-
' sort and his Majesty the King of the Belgians.
As the water proof and also the common bricks will be manufac-
tured by improved machinery, the trade will be supplied at lower
prices than at present charged.
' The acknowledged supe•lority of these bricks over all others will
insure an all but unlimited demand, and orders are continually being
received by the patentee for large quantities, both for home con-
. Sumption and exportation; numerous applications are likewise being
made for licenses.
The following Report of the Jury composed of the undermentioned
eminent and scientific gentlemen was submitted to her Majesty's
Commissioners for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all
Nations, 1851 :—Benedetto Pained, Royal Mint; Lord Sudeley ;
D. T. Angled, F.R.S., Reporter; Bernareo de Bernard's; George
Godwin, F.R.S.; Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., F.R.S., 31. P. ; Em-
manuel Psj cha ; Viscount Hericazt de Thury ; F. Barker, Esq. ; J.
H. Henry, F.R.S. ; Gecrge Lowe, C.E., F.R.S.
Report of the Jury submitted to her Majesty's Commlsioners for the
" Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations, 1851.
A prize medal has been awarded to Mr. J. w orkman (116, p.
773) for an ingenious and apparently effectual method of rendering
common bricks perfectly waterproof; at a cost of about 6s per thou-
sand. The machine by which the process is effected is sufficient to
turn out from 30,000 to 50,000 per day, and the waterproofing takes
place either during the first process of manufacture, or after the
brick is completed. No extra cost of carriage is needed to complete
the work under any circumstances.
"It is unnecessary to point out all the advantages that would re-
sult from taking advantage of this method, but the reporter would
not omit to notice its peculiar Importance in the case of cottages and
ok small houses, and for vaults and foundations. It is in these t
a PPII-
cations
that the very great absorbency of common bricks (which will
as.c up, on the average, nearly a quart of water each, is so ruinous,t
hot only to the property exposed under their shelter, but to e
ethe
o of the inhabitants, who are often very, ill supplied with the
means of removing the evil
It has become a subject of great national importance to procure an
ample supply of bricks to meet the continued and increasing demand.
It may be
remarked that during the last season (1852) the stock
round the metropolis ran short, by several millions, of the required
supply.
It is now considered beyond a doubt that bricks manufactured by
machinery are superior in quality to those produced by labour, the
clay receiving in its transit through the die great compression,
which cannot be effected by hand.
On reference to the report of the jury selected by her Majesty's
Commissioners at the late Exhibition it will be seen that one ma-
chine alone is capable of yielding 30,000 to 50,000 per day.
The profits which will accrue to the Shareholders from the manu-
facture of waterproof and common bricks and the sale of licences will
ensure a large and increasing dividend, and, at the present price of
stock bricks, at least 60 per cent. may be safely relied upon. The
Directors therefore feel confident that they will be enabled to declare
a dividend within a few months from the commencement of opera-
tions.

The patentee has entered into a conditional contract with the Di-
rectors to dispose of the whole or his interest upon ♦ery favourable
terms, and, to mark the confidence lie has in the su2cess of the
undertaking, lee desires to take one moiety of the purchase money in
shares.
The Directors have also concluded on the purchase of several plots
of ground, so that the manufacture of bricks can be commenced
forthwith ; and it is their intention periodically to advertise in the
" ho ]der," and other trade journals, the price of all descriptions of
bricks and tiles manufactured by them, in order that builders may
be guided, in this especial department, by the most perfect accuracy
and ecoliorny in making their estimates for all contracts they under-
take.
Al plications for shares to be made to the broker, or the Company's
offices, 34, Ikloorgate-street, where prospectuses may be had, samples
of the waterproof brick inspected, and every intotmation obtained.
