Hon. F. Leutz of Hebron, N. D.,
spent yesterday in Bismarck in the
interests of the Hebron Fire and
Pressed Brick company. The object
of Senator Leutz' visit to the Capitol
City was to engage space at the Ex-
position building and to draft plans
for an elaborate and comprehensive
display of the products of his COM
pany at the State Industrial EXPOSE
ton.
The Hebron company has secured
that portion of the basement of the
building formerly occu-
pied by the Dolan barber shop; here
they will arrange a display of their
products which will
prove a revelation to North Dakotans
generally and to all visitors to the Ex-
position. The entire four walls of the
room will be reconstructed of Hebron
pressed brick; an immense fireplace1
will be erected at the east end of the
room, the material used being the ia
nous Hebron fire brick; ornamental
lion of North Dakota tile, Ignite coal I
and pottery clay will complete the {
exhibit.
Inasmuch as the state experimental
station, where successful briquettes
md various by-products are manufac-
tured from North Dakota Ignite, is [
located at Hebron, an effort will be ,
made to secure an extensive exhibit
and possibly a demonstration of the
process employed by Professor Bah
cock at his experimental station, in
with the Hebron Brick
display.
Upwards of a thousand dollars will
oe expended by the Hebron company
n preparing this exhibit, which will
oe one of the best features of the
Exposition so far as state resources
ire concerned. Senator Leutz drafted
complete plans for the display while
lere, and work on the details of the
exhibit will commence at once.
