ive panels for mantel facings, six by eighteen inches, in one piece, 

 are also produced. One of these is a center panel in a pastoral

 pany about four years. This comx)any has now six biscuit kilns, 

 and, in addition to the wares made for the general trade, is turning 

 out considerable work of a special nature.
