BUILDING LARGE ADDITION.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ARCADIA, Ind, March 12.-This little
town of Hamilton county is to have one
of the largest and st-equipped brick fac
tories in the country. In addition to the
present plant of the Arcadia brick works,
which has a capacity of $4,000 bricks per
day, an additional new plant will be built
al once, with a capacity of 10000 bricks
per day. Work has been begun on a twelve
track standard steam brick drier. The new
plant will be built of brick and only the
finest and most approved machinery and
appliances will be used in the factory. The
whole plant will be in operation by June,
and will give employment to more than
hundred men. The officers and direc-
tors of the company are: Byron p. Hollett
president; John E. Hollett, secretary: Cliff
ton c. White. treasurer: 1t is said that
during the last year this company has
shipped a greater number of carloads OF

manner of bringing in the clay from the
clay fields. which are some distance from
it's own electric railroad and operate a
system of electric cars to haul in clay from
the fields. The clay in this part of Ham,

chinery will be so arranged that the bricks,
after passing out of the large Potts brick
mills, will not be touched by the hands of
the ldbOrers until dry and hard. The cleo
tric freight system to be used will be sim
liar to that used in the large coal mines.
