BRICK STORE LANDING.
Few of our readers may know that
| the Brick Store Landing where the
! Phosphate works of Alexander G..
! Cumnins, Manufacturer of the "Maize-
! Oleine'' and the Marrow Bone" are
located, was many years ago thriving
point of business. As its name indi-
Gates it was a Store House and the
amount of business done there at that
time was surprising.
The Store House.
1t is an ancient building, having on |
its Eastern gable, the date of its con-
structiOn before the Revolutionary |
war-1767. This building of the Pre- |
Revolutionary period was so substan
tially built that it presents to-day no
appearance of decay. Its solid oak
floors, doors and timbers and thick
walls show the purpose and spirit of
the carpenters and masOns of those
days.
" Mdize-O -Oleinc" and "IdrrOW- Bone"
But from present appearances the
business done at the Brick Store iii the
manufacture and shipping of Maize
; Oleine" and MarrOwBOne" promise
to far surpass the traffic and merchan-
disc of former years. The sale of
> {" Marrow Bone" last Fall for wheat
was double that of the previous Fall,
: and the sales of Maize Oleine" for
corn this Spring were double those of
/ last Spring; and every ton manufac-
4 tured has been sold and shipped away,
Z so that to-day there is not one bag of it
/ left in the Factory.
i The Ferdict
It Considering the unprecedented
: drought of last year, and the almost
II failure of the corn crop everywhere,
a and the general condemnation by the
II farmers of the several Fertilizers they
1t used Oh their corn, the fact that double
r the quantity of Maize-Oleine" was
n sold this Spring, proves that it stood
5, the test of the severest drought, and
W deserves as it has received the award
Is of praise and the verdict of the general
y farming community, Not gritty Of
P. burning, and the best Phosphate for corn
ID in the WhOle country" The Marrow
k Bone" did last year and is doing now
E" equally we'll on the wheat fields; and
of in the promise of most abundant
= harvest, its merits are recognized every
where.
