pebbles. The washed clay is shipped to northern potteries where it is 
used in the manufacture of the higher grade of white wares. Although 
produced commercially in only two counties of the State, these clays are 
distributed through the central peninsular portion of Florida and to 
some extent in northern and western Florida. 
The value of the output is not given separately, but is included with 
the total value of the mineral products of Florida. The following com¬ 
panies operated in 1922 : 
Edgar Plastic Kaolin Company, Metuchen, N. J., and Edgar, Fla. 
Florida China Clay Corp., 640 N. 13th St., Easton, Pa., and Leesburg, Fla. 
Lake County Clay Co., Metuchen, N. J., and Okahumpka, Fla.

reflected in the increase in production of brick and tile by the several 
plants operating in Florida during 1921 and 1922. The total number of

ported by the producers to the Florida Geological Survey, was 26,296,-

manufacture of building tile. The total value of brick, tile and pottery 
products in 1922 is given at $207,449.
