CARLOAD OF TOOLS FOR THE
new BRICK FACTORY ARRIVES
Work viii Start on Foundation As Soon As Rail-
road Engineering Department Decides
On the Grade Level.

Samples of the clay have been sent
away to other factories and burned
and are now on display in the com
pany's Office, and present very at
tractive appearance. The first samples
sent to the Agricultural College at
Ames, Iowa, were manufactured into
small bricks and came out light
straw color but the clay which was
sent away more recently came back
in bricks and tile which were choc-
olate color, but very hard substance
which when hit with metal will ring
almost as clear as a bell.
The work on the buildings will be
held up now until report is received
from the railroad engineering depart
ment advising the Brick and Tile
company where the grade for the sid
ing will be, as it, is absolutely ~
cessary that the building and loading
platform correspond with the grade
of the track in order to reduce the
cost of loading to the minimum. The
buildings will all be built fireproof of
concrete, brick and steel, and are cal
culated to be so constructed that
there will be practically no insurance
risk. The factory will employ not
less than one hundred and fifty men
from the start and since every brick
plant in the country is away behind
with orders there seems no reason
to think this one will not sell the
output if run to it's full capacity. Sew
eral loads of tools to be used in strip
ping the hill where the clay deposit is
and in the buildings is already on
hand and the survey has been made
so there is nothing to hinder the
work starting at once, as soon as the
grade is finally fixed.

The proprietor and his wife sustain

and Mr.. Elderbusch is still in bad
condition, although he is able to move

Few people realize what a large
undertaking the building of the brick
and tile plant really is. Five hun
dred tons of steel will be used in the
framework and the reinforcing. On
the south side and next to the hill
which will furnish the clay for the
tile and brick will be building Is x
100 feet, which will be storage room
and between that and the main build
ing will be another 80 30 which will
contain the grinding machinery. Here
clay will be ground and made ready to
be manufactured into bricks or tile.
Next to this small building will be
the factory building where the bricks
will be first dried on the second story
on specially prepared floor heated
with the exhaust steam from the en-
gine and the heat from the kilns,
which will be in the ground of the
ground floor. This building will be
two story, $50 1856 feet. On the
north or this building will be the, re-
pair. shop and tool room which. will
be 80 x 60 feet, and a power plant
so X 80 feet will be still north of this.
In addition to these buildings there
will be conveyor to the hill where
the shoal is mined, and platform
on the north side of the main build
ing. The platform will be thirty feet
wide and will be covered and used
for a loading platform, as it will be
between the main building and the
track. The n. p railway has survey
ed for siding and as soon as the
Brick and Tile company are notified
where the grade is, work will immed
lately start on the foundations for
all Of the buildings and work will be
rushed as rapidly as can be done.

Bi-M0nthIy Meeting
ENTHUSIASTIC TALKS ON NEW
PLANT BY MEN At HEAD
2. OF COMPANY

One of the most interesting meet
ings of the Commercial Club in sew.
eral months was held yesterday noon
after the regular bi-monthly luncheon
when Messrs. Davidson, Robertson
and Hickman of the Valley City
Brick and Tile Company gave short
talks on the factory which will be
established here by them.
The attendance at the luncheon
was the largest for several meetings,
but few OF those present had realized
the possibilities in the clay to be
found here. Mr.. Davidson stated that
there is enough clay adjacent to Val
ley City of first grade quality, to keep
several plants in operation for many
years. He declared that the clay is
of the best quality throughout, and
will make a product of which the city
may well be proud.
Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Hickman
went into the construction of the
buildings and the process for manu-
featuring bricks. AS Mr.. Robertson
explained, the clay will be taken dir
ectly, from the hill into one of the
buildings, and will remain under CIV
er until the completed bricks are
ready for shipment. The machinery
used will be the most modern to be
had, and when completed the plant
will be model in every way.
Following the meeting, the members
