What can be done to bring down

growing anxiety 10 know more about

There is no reason why an inquiry

ApEcReAs,Ne BRICK INDUSTRY.

The sand,lire brick Industry in the
United States seems to have had q
checkered experience, as shown by the
report on the production Of sa inc
brick in 1911, just issued By the United

much progress until 1863, When there
were sixteen plants reporting products
valued at s155,o4 The Industry grew
rapidly from that year until 1907, when
there were ninety-four plants report
ing sl,225.7S9 worth of products. From
this II has declined until in 1911 there
were but sixty-sixt operating firms re-
porting products valued at sse7,S64.
This was a decrease OF s21i,4S9. or
2322 per cent from 1910 and Of s32S.-
los, or 26.11 per cent, from 1907, the
year Of maximum output Twenty six
states reported sand-liule brick in 1911,
a decrease of two. Michigan was the
leading state, reporting products VAL
ued at s21o,oO1, or 1888 per cent Of the
total Michigans product decreased in
value s90,sls, or 1874 per cent from
1910. New York was second in value Of
products, with $3.50, or 1858 per ceit
of the total. This was an Increase OK
Sc, 80, or 7.S1 per cent, over 1910. New
York and Wisconsin were the only
states that showed an increase in the
value OF sand-l:me brick, the latter IN
creasing sSs,s13. or l32 per cent
The average price per thousand for
common sand-lime brick in 1911 was
$500. compared with 1886 in 1910; for
front brick it was 1888 per thousand,
against 5000 in 1910.
In 1911 common brick composed 1892
per cent Of the value Of all sand-ime
brick, front brick 7.s5 per cent. In 1910
these percentages were 1851 and 1853
respectively.
