The past season, and thew have ca used nenfire reva-
luton in the brick manufacture. The machine works
like a charm. Numerous, kinds have been tried. and
great expenses incurred. but no machine would work
onr clay successfully before we tried this. Now, none
ofeur brick makers c ,uld be induced to dispense will
them.
The following from Messrs. IIoey e Byingfon. Of
New Orleans. is aided. to show these machines will
work equally well in the South as in the North.
We have ten of Mr. Halls machines now in opera
ton. and are making preparation to start ten more
next season.. We also fully concur in the opinions Of
the above gentlemen. and would say further. thattilis
machine is so simple in its construction that we have
no difficulty iii learning our negroes to operate with
il. this we consider one Gifts highest reconme liations
for Southern operation. I'VE shall be happy 10 show
these machines toany gentleman who will call at our
Brick Works in HoeytiI'e. near Carroilton.
