THE HOOKING FIRE CLAY GO

yet three years old, was token to us
on the 4th. of July, that in the gen.
eral depression of business, Logan
has an industry that keeps alive the
fires of patriotism and stands light
house of hupe and promise to the
prosperity of the early incoming fn-
ture.
While the idle, the lazy, the aim
less lay around in the shade fighting
flies, and complaining of hard times,
the Brick-W ork boys, half hundred
of them in wagons, paraded our
streets and in happy burlesque, made
pleasant presentment of the work in
which they are engaged,as well as
the pastimes in which they may
spend a holiday festival.

THE FACTORY
Was organized and commenced |
business in the spring of 1890, with |
the following officers:--
President, L. A. Culver,
Vice President, B R Higgins,
Sec. & Treas. N w Hamblin,
Manager, A B Horn.
The product made is a hard barn
ed vitrified brick, especially for
street paving. Work about fifty
men about she factory. besides clay
dIggers and haulers. Use about 1875
tons of clay per day, which is
bought of N. w. Hamblin, Joe Barth-
GLOW, Rob't. Wright and IN. Collins
and delivered by wagon, thus giving
more employment to men and teams.
The Brick finds markets at many
different places such as Lancaster,
Columbus, Defiance, Springfield and
Portsmouth o.
AT present they are shipping to
Monroe Mich. The secret of the
succe SIS of this enterprise is that the
product is up to the promise. and
meets the public demand. The men,
officers and employees, are intelligent

harmony, and in each others interest.
Such men and such enterprises,
whilst Inconvenience somewhat by
distress among them, rise supreme
to the misfortune, and WIN success.
