CLAY 



The manufacture of clay materials is the largest of the mineral 

 industries of the State. The clays are mostly of the commoner 

 grades but they are widespread in their distribution and well 

 adapted for building brick, which is the leading product. Every 

 section ?nd nearly every county of the State is represented in that 

 branch of the industry. Paving brick, fire brick, drain tile, sewer 

 pipe, building tile and fireproofing are also made in certain sections 

 from local clays. 



The resources in white burning clays or kaolin, on the other 

 hand, are limited. Some deposits on Long Island and Staten Island 

 approach kaolin in color and burning qualities though they are em- 

 ployed mainly for terra cotta. The dearth of these clays has been 

 a drawback to the development of the ceramic industry in the State, 

 but of late this branch has shown considerable progress. The 

 kaolin used is shipped to the potteries from other states or is im- 

 ported from Europe. Porcelain and semiporcelain tableware, por- 

 celain electrical supplies, sanitary ware, as well as the common 

 grades of pottery, are now quite important items in the list of 

 clay manufactures.
