The Same as Those used in the I Euuitable ROME'S NEW INDUSTRY Twenty IThousand, the First Burn and they are Perfect Both in Colorand Fine ness oftheir Fin ish. The undeveloped resources of this section of country contain un told millions of wealth. This forenoon a Hustler of Rome reporter was shown some of the most perfect specimens of grey buff and bronze buff brick the markets of the country afford. And they were made right here in Rome too. Mr. Hunter McClure of the Rome Brick Co. says that his company has just burn ed 20,(XX) of these brick, and while they were burned as an experi ment, the results have been more than the most sanquine of the company had hoped for. The brick are made from newly discovered beds of clay found on the Rome Brick Co’s property and the brick burned are of the exact color of those used in the great Equitable building in Atlanta. The beds of clay seem to be in ex haustible and when it is known that the Equitable building paid $65 per thousand for the brick they used and that the Rome Brick Co. will put these Bronze or Gray-buff brick on the market at S3O per thousand then Romans may grasp the situation. Mr. McClure will leave in a few days and will make a tour of all Southern and Western cities in troducing this new product from the already famous brick yards of the Rome Brick Company. Rome is surrounded by a section rich in mineral wealth, clays and quarries, while fertile valleys and matchless river bottoms make her the city of the garden spot of God’s country. “Dam the Etowah !’’ and we will all get rich. 8.
