i'm HE story Of brick carries us
back to the dawn Of CIV
~ ilization, for almost as
soon as men began to erect temples
and palaces. they learned that a
cheap and durable building material
could be obtained by molding clay
into rectangular masses and allow
ing 1t to harden, either in the sun or
in artificial heat. Kiln-burned bricks
made by the B~abylonians 5000 years
ago still exist, and the entire site
once occupied by the vanished city
Of Babylon is little more than a huge
mound made by the breaking down
and dissolving Of the former huts
and houses of sun-baked brick.
The ancient Egyptians had an in
exhaustible supply Of brick-making
material in the clay which forms
the bed OF the river Nile and brick
making was always one of their
chief industries. Because this clay
lacked tenacity. the Egyptians used
to add chopped straw or reeds.

children Of Israel during the mourn

were set at making bricks, and how
the cruel task masters added to
their voc by requiring them to
make bricks without straw; that
it ordered them to furnish their
own straw without diminishing the
quantity Of bricks produced in a
given time? The Egyptian bricks
were nearly all sun-dried, not kiln.
baked, and so were like the adobe
bricks Of Mexico and the south
western part of the United States,
which arc still used where there is
no frost to freeze the moisture in
the bricks and crack them.
Big Industry
Today brick making is one of the
worlds great industries. You will
scarcely find a commun ty of any
size without it's own brick plant. un-
less it has an abundant and cheap
supply of other building materials
