The distribution of the products according to counties shows 

 that Rockland county has the most extensive clay-working in- 

 dustry. The value of its output last year was $1,422,436, re- 

 ported by 34 plants. Its importance is due to the extensive 

 manufacture of common building brick, which are supplied to 

 the New York city market. This statement may be applied also 

 to Ulster county, which ranks second with a total of $1,274,284, 

 and to Dutchess county, which is third with a total of $932,907. 

 On the other hand, Onondaga county standing fourth in the list, 

 with an output valued at $916,954, is chiefly represented by pot- 

 tery, while brickmaking is very subordinate. The other counties 

 that reported a production of over $500,000 in value are Orange 

 ($690,064), Monroe ($658,058), Albany ($648,973), Erie ($647,334) 

 and Kings county ($539,288). The following table shows the 

 value of all kinds of clay products made in the different counties of 



the State.
