  CLAY 
  

  

  The 
  manufacture 
  of 
  clay 
  materials 
  holds 
  a 
  prominent 
  place 
  

   among 
  the 
  industrial 
  activities 
  of 
  the 
  State. 
  Clays 
  suitable 
  for 
  

   making 
  the 
  common 
  wares 
  are 
  distributed 
  throughout 
  every 
  

   section. 
  The 
  rapidly 
  growing 
  markets 
  for 
  these 
  products 
  has 
  

   led 
  to 
  the 
  establishment 
  of 
  numerous 
  manufacturing 
  plants 
  so 
  

   that 
  there 
  is 
  scarcely 
  a 
  city 
  or 
  community 
  of 
  any 
  size 
  which 
  does 
  

   not 
  contain 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  of 
  such 
  enterprises. 
  This 
  is 
  particularly 
  

   true 
  with 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  manufacture 
  of 
  building 
  materials, 
  such 
  

   as 
  brick, 
  terra 
  cotta 
  and 
  tile, 
  which 
  are 
  being 
  employed 
  more 
  

   and 
  more 
  widely 
  as 
  elements 
  of 
  permanent 
  construction. 
  Owing 
  

   to 
  their 
  cheapness, 
  durability 
  and 
  the 
  convenience 
  with 
  which 
  

   they 
  can 
  be 
  adapted 
  to 
  meet 
  the 
  varied 
  architectural 
  require- 
  

   ments, 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  clay 
  materials 
  will 
  no 
  doubt 
  continue 
  to 
  find 
  

   favor 
  for 
  a 
  long 
  time 
  to 
  come. 
  

  

  The 
  production 
  of 
  the 
  finer 
  grades 
  of 
  clay 
  wares 
  has 
  not 
  

   attained 
  the 
  importance 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  other 
  lines. 
  In 
  contrast
