At Mechanicville, Saratoga county, there is a smaller center of 

 brickmaking, based on the Hudson valley clays, which is supported 

 mainly by the New England market. The same methods are 

 employed as farther south. Five yards are in existence of which 

 three have been recently active. 



Outside of the Hudson valley the principal centers are at Utica, 

 Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo and vicinity, of which the last 

 has the largest production. Soft clays are not so abundant and the 

 use of shale, either alone or in mixture with clay, has been adopted
