The foundation for Won Berge's
brick brewery is being laid in the
most solid and substantial manner
and material. In excavating for
the foundation a bed of sand admi-
rably adapted to brick-making and
mortar was found, and so Won
Berge has started a brick yard of
his own on his orchard property
situated across the street from his
present brewery premises. The
mill ditch furnishes water, the
sand is brought from across the
street and clay is found on the
spot. 1t is to be hoped that the
right ingredients for making good
brick have been combined at last,
for good, serviceable and substan-
tial brick is something we have
long needed here, and there will be
a big demand when they are made
in sufficient quantities to supply
the market.
