BRICK MAKERS
CONVENE IN
Los ANGELES
New Plans for Lower Cost
Is Being
Made.

The eyes of the entire brick manu-
factuTing industry are today turned
Westward to Los Angeles, to which
city the representatives of practical
| ly every brick manufacturing con
cern of Importance in the United
States have trekked In special trains
over the route taken by the Nor.
mons and the fOrty-niners. From
the furthest Eastern points on the
Atlantic coast from the South to
the North and from the middle
West have gone some Of the big
gest men of the great American
common brick industry. For in.
sance, every brick manufacturing
concern with the exception Of one
in the city of Chicago win be rep
resented at the convention by from
four to twenty people each. At
the head of the Chicago delegation
is Mr.. William Schlake, president
Of the Illinois Brick Company, the
largest brick manufacturing com.
pany in the world, whose mammoth
plants turned out the staggering
total of 60O,OO0O0O brick during
1928. or a little less han 2,OOO, 900
bricks for every working day in
the entire year. This is an achieve.
ment for which there is mo- pre-.
cedent. Charles H. Bryan, president
Of his association, heads the group
from Detroit. Philadelphia is we'll
represented. Boston, Cincinnati,
and Memphis are all sending promi.
nent citizens who are brick manu-
facturers. The great Hudson river
district, one Of the most important
brick manufacturing centers in the
country, sends about ten repre-
sentatives. Birmingham, Ala: New
Orleans, La; Pittsburgh, Pa; Cleve-
land, Ohio, and Baltimore, Nd, are
also well represented.
To say that this convention of
the Common Brick Manufacturers
Association at Los Angeles is the
biggest meeting of brick men ever
held in his country does not fully
state the case. Rather 1t typifies
the recent reawakening of this
ancient industry, and is a distinc-
tive milestone in the era that has
marked its recent spectacular rise.
For three years the brick manu-
facturers have been devising ways
of making their product of greater
use to the public. During that time
the Ideal wall has been developed.
making lower cost homes of brick
possible. Cooperative promotion Of
their product has reacted on the
brick manufacturers themselves, and
the order of the day is new and
improved methods Of production and
greater pride in their industry. The
attitude Of brick manufacturers
generally may, fairly be typified by
a letter just treceived from mem.
ber in Connecticut: Business is
exceptionally good in this section,
and we are all installing new ma.
chinery and getting our plants in
readiness for a big year. Condi-
tions are different than they have
ever been before, there Is less brick
on hand unsold than ever before"
The common brick industry has
gained in three years go per cent
of the losses Of the previous twenty
years of inactivity in a promotional
way. From the convention at Los
Angeles will come, 1t is expected
new plans that will at once be put
into operation for greater efficiency
in brick plants and lower cost OF
production.
