OUR BRICK FACTORIES.
Great Falls the Best Market in Northern
Montana for Brick,

Great Falls has now four extensive,
prosperous brick factories and may soon
have another. The works which will be
in operation throughout the summer are
those of the Great Falls Pioneer
Backyard, owned by Mckay Brothers;
T. G. King; Boughton & Shaw; and M. V.
Boughton. Mr.. Parker may soon estab-
fish the fifth brick-yard.
These brick-yards produce brick that
for color and durability are unequalled
in Montana. All the works are near the
business center Of town and in position
to turn the railroad facilities to account,
The machinery in use is new and the
works are under the control of expert
enced managers who employ only work
men that are skilful and competent. The
facilities for obtaining clay, coal and
other material used in the manufacture
OF brick are good and enable the Great
Falls 1brick makers to compete sue
cessfully with any factory in
Montana. This ability to keep ali rivals
out of the home field and to supply the
N"''hpAS 10 ny lle
immense business which our backwards
transact. The Montana Smelling Com
pany which bought up all the brick on
hand at the close of last season will re-
quire alone 35,000,0O0 brick for
the extensive reduction works
which they are building here.
The great number of buildings in pro
gress or projected, throughout the city,
VIII likewise consume many millions of
brick, while the orders from the neigh
boring country are becoming large, es-
peclally from places or the Montana
Central railroad.
The brick yards and the work incident
al thereto will employ about $50 people
this season. The capacity of the works
Will be increased to meet the growing
demand, and Great Falls will take care to
retain the leadership she has acquired in
the brick trade by good quality and low
prices.

but he had agreed not to live with her until she
was is years old. He was only 10 at the time
