be employed at this plant,giving work
to unskilled labor and putting Into

money every month. 1t is Impossible
to make this enterprise success I'M
less at least one more kiln Is erected.
Mr.. Henry Meyer, who has had charge
of this proposition for two or three
months has demonstrated that with
one more kiln the plant can be con-
Quoted at profit. In order to erect
this kiln a limited amount of stock Is
offered for sale at bedrock prices. Pub
lie spirited citizens Of Mexico are In
vited TO assist in making this enter
prise a success. At one time $50 oot
vas offered to outside parties to give
Mexico a brick plant. The owners OF
the plant who are all home people DC
not ask donations, but simply thai
those who have the best interests o.
the city at heart come 10 on tn'
ground floor and assist In erecting
another kiln, which will most assured
edly insure the permanency Of thl'
proposition. A committee has beer
appointed to look after this mattel
and should have the cordial and near
" cooperation Of those who appre
