Brick and Tile Plant Gaining Favor
The promoters of the brick and tile
works are meeting with most favorable
conditions and the probability of a
plant here seems more certain each
day. A location near the depot has
practically been decided upon. The
necessary stock to be raised is finding
owners in 8500 sums, which is a
criterion for what is to follow. It is
calculated that most of the tile making
will be done in the winter time when !
employes can be secured easier, and
it is estimated that it will require about |
25 persons to ran it.
