The buildings erected during the year
Ioos with brick made in North Dakota
are a revelation to the old residents of
the state and also matter of the great
est surprise to the established brick
manufacturers of the middle west.
Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot and Man
dan are turning out vast quantity Of
common brick of very high grade
suitable for all kinds of general work,
and the time is not far distant when it
will be necessary to establish ,.brick
yards every fifty or sixty miles along the
lines of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and $500" railways within the
state in order to keepup with the rapidly
growing demands for substantial fire
proof material
In the line of pressed brick the state
of North Dakota is making rapid strides
in perfecting high grade goods. The
yards at Dickinson, Hebron and Wal
lalla have all been overcrowded with
orders and the outlook for 1906 is most
promising.
At the present rate of development
and improvement in the quality Of the
product of these yards it will be but a
short time before North Dakota will be
heavy shipper of all kinds and shades
of the highest quality of pressed brick
equal in all respects to the famous ST.
