q e~Ae8ihphio pu4a sShpu AL tuo uSGo-
papers states that, on the 1st OF Septem-
ber, @ new industry is to be inaugurated
in the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, which
promises large pecunisry returns and d
considerable accession to the population
and general business of that city. This
industry is the manufacture of yitrified
brick and the Lincoln plant will accom-
modate $50 laboreIs at that beginning of
Its operations. Ftom this start it prom
ises to grow and the promise is we'll
founded. Vitrified brick are now exten.
slvely used in paving streets and making
sidewalks. For street paving they are
found superior to any other material In
cheapness, durability and general utility.
For sidewalks they are superior to plank
and cost no more, and are as durable as
stone, costing much less. So the burden
OF proof is all IN favor of brIok for street
paving and for sidewalks in this prairie
country. The Lincoln capitalists, hay
ing doubtless looked the field over, are
putting in plant with capacity for
manufacturing twenty million vitrifed
brick each year. This is for beginning.
They expect to increase, and their ex-
pectations may be realized, as the regi on
to be supplied with brick from that cen.
ter is an extensive one.
We have not 80 much interest in what
Tynontn hnc IapiIaI IN n ,hct
Yenkton might decide to do in the same
line. Through the experience of years
it has been taught our people that the
brick clay deposits abounding here are
OF superior quality and of inexhsustible
quantity. The brick making industry is
already as large as any single industry
that maintains our community and with
the wide spread territory from which
trade is and might be drawn the bust
ness can hardly be overdope. A demand
for yitrified brick will soon be created-as
soon as communitiel learn that it is an
indestrnctible paving and sidewalk ma.
terial. The vitrifying process is simple
one, varying from the usual process in
pliing the brick ia the kiln so the fire
will come in contact with each brick and
give to it glazed surface. We fully
believe this could be made profitable
industry In Yankton. For the informa.
tion that it contains we give the Lincoln
telegraphic paragraph above referred to
A new industry will be inaugurated in
Lincoln on the lst of September tina,
promises to be big thing for the city
MeBsrs Stout & Buckstaff have associa-
ted Themselves with few outside cap
italists and are putting in yirtified
brick plant at the corner OF l.. and Sixth
street, with forty of the latest drying
ploy l50 men and prepare 100 200 bricb
covering the tunnels will be l40 feet
square. The enterprise will be knowr
as the yirtified brick manufacturing
company OF Lincoln. At this time 14t
men are employed at the plant, putting
in machinery and working with nigh
and main to get the yard ready SO cha
active business can be commenced at thu
time stated. 1t is confidently expected
| thae the company Will be able to turI
out 2l,000,Co0 h.iok each year, or al
many each day as they have dollars in
vested in the enterprise. This ventur,
will certainly prove of great benefit &
the city. II will provide steady summe
employment for large number OF me,
and clsss OF brick for the buIldin,
public needed every day. 1t means bust
ness for the laborer, the mechanic; tn
grocer and the merchant, and anothe
great enterprise to the many already es
tablised at the capital city.
