5 AND BRICKLAYING.

ND BRICKLAYING.
part of the bricklayer. All
crafts slow up when the de-
mand for their services is high
and they know that they can
get a job anywhere. They
work harder when jobs are
scarce. It's a natural law, and
the union has nothing to do
with it.
Another point on which I
know you are misinformed is
the profit on the manufacture
of brick. You recently referred
to the brick manufacturers add
ing to their profit in the New
York district. You cannot point
out to me in the whole United
States a single brick manu-
featuring concern that has ac-
quired a large fortune. There
never has been great profit in
the manufacture of brick in
America.
To the price which the manu-
facturer of the Hudson River
charges, there is always added
an exorbitant towing charge
down the river, an unloading
charge at the wharf, a carriage
charge to the job, and a deal
er's profit on top of the whole.
New York City, is the only
large building center in Amer
lea where dealer or middleman
is tolerated in the distribution
Of brick.
The price which the manu-
facturer receives at his plant is
always based upon the cost Of
labor and fuel, and we are in a
position to show always that
brick is sold in this country
upon an extremely reasonable
profit basis and too often with
out any profit whatever. In the
year 1900 there were 6,400
brick plants in America. There
are not more than 1900 to
$500 in existence today. The
others have failed because there
was no profit in the business.
Tell me what other product
manufactured by an expensive
process entailing some hand
labor and including from to
Ia days of burning with ex-
pensive fuel, weighing five
pounds, and lasting forever
when in use, being practically
indestructible and absolutely
unburnable, can be bought for
from III to 2 cents apiece.
Yours very truly,
THE COMMON BRICK MANU-
FACTURERS' ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA,
RALPH P. STODDARD,
Secretary-Manager.

Annual Services

~ SUNBURY, Pa.-The old Pres
byterian Church at Buffalo
~ Cross Roads, Union county,
was the scene Of the fifth annual
pilgrimage as well as the cele-
kration of its 10th anniversary.
Because the sons and daughters
Of its founders have located in
other districts and its communi-
cant members have been reduced
to only a few, services have not
been held in the historic edifice
for the past five years. How
ever, annual pilgrimages are made
to the place by descendants of it's
founders and here they worship
once a year.
In connection with the fifth an
nual pilgrimage two bronze tab
lets were unveiled by the Rev.
w. K. Foster, a former pastor.
One Of these tablets gives his
tory of the church, while the
other gives the honor roll of
those who have gone from her
gates into the ministry or the
mission field.
