look to the South for it's supply of
such clays according to a digest Of
the address in the current issue OF
The Manufacturers Record. He call
ed attention to the sedimentary pa
per clays of South Carolina and
argued that a plant could be estab-
lished and operated in the State and
that, if successfully engineered, it
would stimulate greatly the mining
of kaolin by small operators, induc-
ing higher price than domestic clay
is now bringing"
During 1913 the total OUTPUT of
clay in the States of North Carolina.
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
tennessee aggregated only 1S2,51S
tons, with a total production in the

that for domestic manufacture of
clay ware this country imported
