western part  of  the  city.  It  manufactures  red  tile  of  ordinary  shape 
and  also  a  number  of  different  kinds  of  fancy-shaped  tile  of  varying 
colors,  as  demand  or  occasion  may  require.  It  makes  also  a  great 
variety  of  ornamental  patterns  for  cornices,  gables,  finals,  etc.,  and  is 
well  equipped  for  such  work.  The  company  is  fortunate  in  having  a 
clay  that  burns'  to  a  rich,  deep,  uniform  red  of  pleasing  tint.

an  excellent  start  and  is  already  shipping  roofing  tile  as  far  cast  as 
St.  Louis  and  as  far  north  as  Iowa.
