  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 
  and 
  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.
