  Pottery 
  

  

  , 
  The 
  manufacture 
  of 
  pottery 
  has 
  become 
  an 
  important 
  branch, 
  

   of 
  the 
  clay-working 
  industry 
  of 
  the 
  State. 
  Its 
  development, 
  

   however, 
  has 
  been 
  due 
  rather 
  to 
  the 
  exceptional 
  facilities 
  

   afforded 
  by 
  the 
  State 
  for 
  manufacturing 
  and 
  marketing 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   ducts 
  than 
  to 
  the 
  existence 
  of 
  natural 
  resources 
  of 
  crude 
  ma- 
  

   terials 
  that 
  are 
  employed 
  in 
  the 
  potteries. 
  With 
  the 
  exception 
  

   of 
  the 
  deposits 
  of 
  slip 
  clay 
  in 
  Albany 
  county 
  and 
  a 
  limited 
  sup- 
  

   ply 
  of 
  stoneware 
  clays 
  in 
  Onondaga 
  county, 
  the 
  raw 
  materials 
  

   are 
  derived 
  entirely 
  from 
  without 
  the 
  State. 
  The 
  kaolin 
  used 
  

   comes 
  from 
  New 
  Jersey 
  and 
  from 
  England, 
  the 
  feldspar 
  from 
  

   Canada, 
  and 
  much 
  of 
  the 
  pottery 
  clay 
  from 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  accompanying 
  table 
  is 
  shown 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  the 
  pottery 
  

   manufactures 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  three 
  years. 
  The 
  total 
  valuation 
  

   of 
  the 
  product 
  for 
  1907, 
  as 
  returned 
  by 
  the 
  individual 
  plants, 
  was 
  

   $2,240,895. 
  The 
  preceding 
  year's 
  output 
  was 
  valued 
  at 
  $1,795,008 
  

   and 
  that 
  of 
  1905 
  at 
  $1,620,558, 
  The 
  growth 
  of 
  the 
  industry 
  during 
  

   the 
  period 
  has 
  been 
  brought 
  about 
  by 
  the 
  increased 
  production 
  of 
  

   the 
  high 
  grade 
  products 
  — 
  porcelain 
  and 
  semiporcelain 
  tablewares 
  

   and 
  electric 
  and 
  sanitary 
  supplies. 
  The 
  manufacture 
  of 
  stoneware 
  

   and 
  earthenware 
  has 
  remained 
  almost 
  stationary.

  products
