THE PRESSED BRICK INDUSTRY
The announcement is made that
capitalists are planning to establish
another factory for the manufacture OF
nigh grade brick and tile in this state
IA IT is question whether this field l.
not already filed beyond immediats
expectation OF reasonable returns on
the investment 4 1t costsa great deal
to install an up-to7date pressed bricf
3 and tile factory. Those that have beRI
4 established thus far have not We
yielded return on the investment
Probably half a million dollars have
already been invested in these enter
prises In North Dakota and conserva
h lively it may be stated that they arr
b still in the experimental stage
Every little while the papers pub
Iish articles about the clay industr.
Of this state; there is no question W,
have in some parts of North Dakot:
a very fine clay well adapted for mos
any kind of work and there is room
for number of factories as long a
they are wisely estab lished We nee
factories to make pressed brick W
need factories to make hollow brio
and tile We need stiff mott bricl
We need potteries and fire brick. a
long as all these lines are covered an
none of them crowded, there is
chance for good investment for a lot {
capital and energy II would be to
bad. however. II tarou eli. ign orance (
existing conditions the whole clay il
dustry should be killed off in the star
We have, for Instance, in this stat
d number of pressed brick plants
the yard in Hebron and the one
Wilton with four down draft kilns eas
and also TWO yards In Dickinson alb
to produce from 10, 000, 90 to. IL, %
facing brick annual takes abo
10000 facing brick To line Az aVeral
brick block or one thousand bril-
blocks a year lined with pressed brf'
to keep ali these yards going. Al
question presents itself, how mai
buildings have been built this year
