MEMPHIS MANUFACTURES.

The earnestness with which many of
our citizens are e~mbarking in manutac-
turing enterprises is Illustrated by the
conduct ofthose who direct the fortunes
o the Wood and Willow Ware Manufac-
turing Company. The lot on which the
company's building stands is four humid
red and forty feet on Georgia street by
Que hundred and seventy feet deep. The
brick building, the walls of the basement
and the story above being finished, would
have beer nearly completed had
not b contractors unfortunately
made q brick kiln, the product of
which was rejected by Colonel
Halstesd. The structure is made of he
very best materials. Not only the brick
used, but the joists and sleepers, are Of
the heaviest and strongest description and
of the sOundest oak. Even the close
fence, seven feet high, that incloses the
whole lot will endure while cedar lasts.
The hoor is so constructed, and dOOrways
in front and rear, that a loaded wagon
and six horses may pass through the
building from font to rear, discharging
lumber or receiving the products of the es-
tablishment. The walls are two INT a half
bricks in thickness. An earthquake could
not overthrow them. The very tOists
crossing the building are pinioned into
the walls. The floors are thirteen feet
apart, and the whole establishment will
be finished within and without, and
stocked with machinery by the time the
roof is finished. Only the walls of the
third story remain to be completed, and
the establishment viii begin to make
money during the month of October.
Colonel Halstsad will Don nave the ma

coopsr's ware will, it is believed, be
turned out next month, and that the IS

the building, but stock it with ten thou

that each subscriber to the capital stock
