BRICK-MAKING METHOD Two Swedish engineers announce a new method of hrick-making, called the "dry method," whereby the ne- cessity ef placing brick factories in the localities where clay is to be had is eliminated. Instead of manufac- turing the bricks directly from the clay as heretofore, the clay is treat- ed by heat or vacuum and then pul- verized, whereby a half-finished pro- duct called "clay metal" is obtained, This clay powder can easily be trans- ported to suitably located factories, where it is again moistened and mixed and subsequently placed in moulds and pressed. The bricks are placed on specially constructed wagons that are slowly passed through a tunnel oven, where the bricks are baked. The building material is then ready to be transported to the place where it is to be used. of the Bruce com- and Thickson Motor Sales 9 Bond St. West Oshawa, Ontario Distributors of Products of DURANT MOTORS OF CANADA, LIMITED 4 For the Townships of East and West Whitby and Darlington Greater Oshawa Edition -- SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 R.
