Clayburn Works Make
Bricks for New Retort

The Clayburn company has just re-
ceived a nice little order for the Van-
couver Gas company of 170 thousand
fire bricks to be used in the new re-
tortg tke gas company is erecting.
Loading of this shipment is now in
progress and will require about 18
railroad. cars to transport it. The
order was secured in keen competition
with other brick making concerns, the
known high standard of Clayburn pro-
ducts deciding the buyers.

Because of the present lull in all
construction activity both in Canada
and the United States, F. C. Ball, man-
ager of the Clayburn factory expressed
himself as expecting a quietude in his
line for a month or two, corresponding
to some extent with the lumber in-
dustry. Although now working the
men but five days a week, Mr. Ball
estimated stocks in the yards at about ©
one quarter of a million dollars, a
Fondition with his company that had
no precedent as long as he can remem-
ber. Seasonal depression seemed to be
approaching the peak in Canada, and,
coincident with the determination of
elections in the United States Mr. Ball
expected a brisk fall business,
