LANSDOWNE BRICK WORKS.
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. The Lansdowne Brick Company have disposed of their kilns to Mr J. Lawson, who has practically remodelled the works. The kilns have been altered considerably, and the new management is enabled to turn out a clean, good coloured, well-burnt brick, equal to any produced in the colony. All the latesc machinery required for the proper treatment of the clay from the time it leaves the pit until the bricks are ready for the kiln has been secured, and the motive power is supplied by a 30 horse-power suction-gas plant. The woiks are now under the charge of Mr Tunnell, a thoroughly experienced brickmaker, who has been associated with one of the leading South Island kilns for many years. He has just turned out a kiln of bricks that local builders aver are equal to any they have yet seen. All bricks made are to be classified, and prices will be found reasonable. Another kiln is in course of erection, and drying sheds, capable of storing 250,000 bricks have been erected.
All orders entrusted to Mr Lawson will receive prompt attention.
