AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.
Progress in I he Manufacture ol Brick
by the Aiken Fire and Ornamental
Brick Company.
Comparatively few persons in Ai
ken appreciate the magnitude of the
industry established on the old Bar
ton tract south of the pond, by the
Messrs. Anness and Livingood, for
the manufacture of brick.
These gentlemen having purchased
500 acres ol land, with an inexhausti
ble supply of clay, organized the Ai
ken Fire and Ornamental Brick Com
pany and set to work establishing
their plant.
During the few months since the
purchase of the land great changes
have been made iu the appearance of
tiie place and its surroundings. Sev
eral large buildings have been erect
ed, together with a number of smaller
ones. The first one in the series used
in tlie manufacture of bricks is the
engine house and the house where
the clay is received, mixed, passed
automatically through Use grinder
and through the moulding machine
that contains tiie dies for the differ
ent kinds of bricks made. From this
house the mot Ided bricks are taken
on trucks to the racks, of which there
are sixteen, each 80 feet long and ca
pable of containing 100,000 bricks, or
about four days’ output. On these
racks the bricks are allowed to remain
for three or four days, when they be
come dry enough to puck in a kiln
and burn.
The burning takes place in a great
house 60 feet wide by 125 feet long
and about 80 feet high, tiie roof of
which is movable, so that it can be
opened whenever the fire is made iu
tiie kilns. This house will accommo
date three kilns at a time, each con
taining about 250,000 bricks.
Directly alongside of this house
will run the railway 7 , so that tiie bricks
can be loaded immediately into the
cars. The railway connection with
the South Carolina Rail way has not
yet been completed, but is graded and
most of the cross-ties are on the
ground; but the iron, which is to be
furnished by the S. C, Railway Co.,
has not yet been received, so it is
thought that it will not be finished
for two or three weeks.
The company intends to make not
only ordinary building bricks, but or
namental bricks for house fronts, and
fire bricks for grates and stoves; and
in the course of time drainage and
floor tiles also. They will also make
bricks of different colors to fill par
ticular orders. One small kiln of
bricks has been already burned, with
a most successful result, and in a
short time the company will be pre
pared to go regularly to work. But
until the iron for the railway track is
received and the connection made
with tiie main line, there appears to
be no object in commencing work
regularly.
All this will now soon be accom-
plished, and the Aiken Fire and Or
namental Brick Company will be
furnishing bricks of the best quality
at the rate of 25,000 per day, and the
people of Aiken County will have
cause to congratulate themselves on
the establishment of such an impor
tant industry among them.
