There Is no important industry In the

the clay business In this section Of the
country was confined to common red
any standing II the market. while to-
day King county leads the entire Pacific
coast in her diversity and quality OF
clay wares. This has been due to that
same indefatigable spirit and liberal ex-
penditure OF money. which have been
the propelling power In bringing this
Northwest to the proud position she
now holds. But the success attained in
