A REVOLUTION IN THE BRICK
WORLD.
RE-PRODUCED BY COURTESY OP THE REYNOLDSVILLE
BRICK AND TILE COMPANY.
There is at the present time a very general revolution go
ing on In tbe brick world. It is only a few short years that
the smooth, uniformly shaded dry press brick was the only
brick worth considering for any high cla?s brick work
Within tbe past few years tbe dry press brick has been
pushed, in a very large sense In the background by tbe ad
vent of tbe stiff mud brick. To an average individual the
' dry press brick is very much superior in appearance to the
so-called stiff mud brick, if we consider from an individual
brick standpoint. If we carry tbe comparison on just a little
further and are able to see the really finished product in
completed brick resldpr-re we are able to see the real beauty
in a high grade stiff mud brick and a marked superiority in
Its appearance over the old smooth brick that iu the present
day bas become tiresome to the average eve.
The movement to get away from vthe so-called "painted
.brick wall" did not end with tbe advent of tbe ordinary etlff
. mud brick, but has been carried forward to a point of using
- tbe BtitT mud brick with a wire cut face. This a few years
' ago was considered by most people as a very rough and un
saleable product. Now, in addition to the use of tbe wire
cut face, the up-to-date brick man is not content with the
" Ordinary wire cut, but is resorting to all mannerof schemes to
make still rougher tbe already rough surface or face of tbe
brick. Tbe gf neral cry of the brick buyer, the architects
and tbe general public is for something with a rougher sur
face or face. The leading writers in our building magazines
and building journals are wellding their pens against the
"nalnted brink wall" and In favor nf tha riuiirh tunA v..ii.
here spoken of. Tbe matter nf closely shading brick is of
less importance here than in the finer grades of brick; tbe
various shades of brick being used to bring out marke.l de
signs or tbe architect. Can you look past a rough face
brick, perhaps of several colors, to a new brick building and
see tbe B nibbed product or a rough faced brick? Can you see
a building with the old style of Greek architecture standing
out, and see here a building completed but yesterday and yet
having the appearance of a building completed a hundred or
, perhaps two hundred years ago, according as the design of
the architect may desire? If you can do this, then you can
realize what the revolution in the brick business means and
wny h is an coming aoout.
Probably the most popular rough faced brick on tbe mar
ket to-day is the "Velvet Brick" manufactured by the Reyn
oldsvllle Brl .-k and Tile Co. These brick may be laid up in
any number of different styles of architecture. The real red
should be laid up with red mortar. This gives a rich red
olor to the building that cannot otherwise be obtained.
The same brick may be laid up as a Dutch brick, in which
case the red "Velvet" stretcher and a black header should be
used, with about an inch to an inch and a quarter mortar
joint. The joint shouid then be raked back from the face of
tbe brick about one to one and a quarter inches. This grade
of brick work, when viewed from a distance of from sixty to
one hundred feet represents a building of real beauty. This
style of architecture is suitable for large buildings The
new dormitory of the Indiana State Normal School is built
with this design and is an exceptionally fine piece of brick
work. This grade of brick bas been used extensively for cor
nice and window trimming with both red and buff brick.
The contrast of this brick for this purpose is a very pleasing
effect to the eye and when the various shades of the "Vel
vet" are worked out In the oriental designs into which they
will work, tbe effect is doubly pleasing.
We might go on for time unlimited and show in a very
superficial manner !)' various nop ol thin "Velvet Brick,"
but for the present l- l u ay simply that tbe "Vehet Brick"
bas come to stay and that ihe architecture of our Greek and
Persian ancestors is going to be revived and that some time
in the not far distant future we will have a real revival of tbe
one time famed Grecian beauty.
VAGRANTS ON THE PENNSYLVANIA
Reports just compiled by the Pennsylvania Railroad show
that during the year 1!M)8 (157 trespassers were killed and 791
Injured on the lines of tbe Pennsylvania system east and
west of Pittsburgh. In 1907 822 trespassers were killed.
These figures emphaatze tbe recommendation in tbe recent
annual reports of the state railroad commissions of Pennsyl
vania and Indiana that laws should be enacted providing
substantial punishment for all persons who trespass on the
rights of way of railways.
President McCrea, of the Pennsylvania, writing to O. F.
Lewis, of tbe Charity Organization Society of New York,
says that his company has been unable to develop co-operation
by the towns and cities along its lines In prosecuting and
convicting trespassers and vagrants. The number of arrests
has increased to such an extent that many city and town
authorities are unable at times to take care of tbe trespass
ers sentenced to their penal institutions for confinement. It
is tbe same old story of shirking and neglect. Mr. McCrea
says: "County authorities will assert that a vagrant be per
mitted to move from one county to another before being ar
rested and the county in which the an est is made charged
with the maintenance of the prisoner. County authorities
and their constituents object to the expense entailed In the
maintenance of these people. When vagrants are arrested
and Incarcerated in county jails it is seldom that any record
is taken of them, and when they are released and again In
carcerated in the jail of another county, tbe latter county
bas no record Bhowing former Incarcerations. With co-operation
tbe records of vagrants would be accessible to all
county authorities, and confirmed tramps could be singled
out and given adequate punishment."
During the year 1908 2,989 persons were arrested for tres
passing, 442 lor vagrancy, and 10,457 for illegal traln-rldlng
on the Hues of the Pennsylvanlasystem. Railway Age Qazette,
THE COMING CONTEST.
While the active canvass of the candidates for the Repub
lican nomination for District Attorney of Jefferson county
will not commence for several weeks, Interest is Increasing
and the preliminary "wire pulling" is being done even now
that will eventually line up the voters for the various can
didates. Tbe race will be a triangular contest with Brook
ville, Punxsutawney and Reyuoldsvllle as the centers of In
fluence. Brook ville will be represented by Raymond E
Brown, and Punxsutawney by Jesse C. Long, both young and
promising members of tbe Jefferson county bar. Reynolds
ville will have as a candidate its former mayor, Lawyer
Smith M. McCrelght, who, it will be remembered, was prom
inently mentioned for the position nice years ago, and grace
fully withdrew at that time in deference to tbe greater ex
perience of tbe attorney who bas since performed the duties
of the office so ably. McCrelght is probably tbe best known
of tbe three but tbe geographic location of Brown and Long
with reference to tbe vote is such that an Interesting contest
is assured, with the home vote of each as a deciding factor.
Tbe following is part of a published report of the last
meeting of tbe Business Men's Exchange of DuBois;
"During 'he discussion It was remarked that it seemed
that no movement for public Improvement could be made In
DuBois without some interest butting In and opposing it.
This brought forth the remark that a peacemaker was needed
in DuBois; another member remarked that a fool killer waB
what was needed. ' Yes, I guess that is right," was there
sponee, "these things will not be straightened out until Du
Bois has a number of first-class funerals."
Which, somehow, has a curiously reminiscent sound.
Reynoldsvllle and other tanning towns are ratching tbe
new tariff with deep Interest. As reported by the Ways and
Means Commltte, bides are on tbe free list. If considered
favorably and made a law it will do much to Insure contin
uous operation of many tanneries now running naif time on
account of inability to secure hides from Armours, who have
a practical monopoly. At present there is a fifteen per cent,
ad valorem duty on cattle bides; its removal would mean
cheaper bides for the tanner and cheaper leather for the
consumer.
The sale of the Twyford Automobile factory at Brookvllle
by the sheriff last Monday closes another gloomy chapter in
the record of county financial ventures in which the people
invested without real investigation of the concern. Brook
villa and Reynoldsvllle people have paid dearly for their ex
perience in this way.
White bread will be a curionitv If the order of Seprntar
of Agriculture Wilson is enforced. It says that millers
must stop bleaching flour. The flour will be the same but
the color of golden hue.
