Many Improvements
At the Evans Plant
A New Kiln Almost Completed
and Many Changes Made.
,' One of the busiest Industrial) spots
i around Reynoldsville at tbe present
time Is the T. E. Evans brick and tile
i plant south ol town. The plant was an
excellent one when built and In the
J two years since Mr. Evans has taken
( charge Improvements and additions
Uiaye been made totalling; almost half or
Its original cost, and to-day It Is one of
the most convenient and best equipped
. tile plants In the state. Mr. Evans has
apeclalzed on the manufacture of build
ing tile And bas built up a large and
permanent trade, shipping; tbe bulk of
his product to New York, Pittsburg;
and points west. Tbe plant has been
operating; steadily since early spring;
but the yards are almost bare now.
the entire product being shipped away
(customers as quickly as taken from
the kilns.
A new kiln, built according; to the
most modern methods of construction,
is now cearlng completion. It will
. have acapacfty of 4,500 tile and when
In use, with tbe five older kilns will
make It possible to Increase the dally
output of the Evans plant to 2,000 tile
per day and the employes, now number
ing twenty-two, will be Increased to
twenty eight. By July 1st It Is antici
pated that the plant will be running at
full capaoity.
Besides building 'one new kiln, Mr.
i Evan bas remodeled all the other
kilns, putting In new bottoms, and built
three new high stacks to improve the
draft in them. Two new dry tunnels
.have been built and eighteen feet
added to tbe four old ones. All
through the plant similar Improvements
are visible and attest the thoroughness
with which Mr. Evans is trying to
build ud his property on substantial and
permanent lines.
Owing to the building o' the new
kiln and other structures and to the
Inoreased capacity of tho plan, Mr.
Evans is beginning to be crpmped for
room and bas applied for a grant of
more land adjoining his present plot on
the west. The matter is now before
the directors of the Reynoldsville Land
and Improvement Company. .

Meet from July 2 to 11, when three ot the greatest flyers
ot the modern world will demonstrate their masteryof the

Walter E. Brookins, who holds the record forhigh
flying, willlgive exhibitions July 7 to 11 in a Wright

Meredith Brick Plant
Soon be Rebuilt
Will Give Employment Thirty
or Forty Laborers.
The plans for rebuilding the
Meredith brick plant have been com
pleted by Messrs, W R. Meredith, A.
O'Donnell and Thomas White, and
work will commence upon the new
buildings juBt as soon as satisfactory
arrangements can be made with the
Pennsylvania railroad for a new siding.
The new plant will be built just
aoross the railroad from the old plant.
The machinery In tbe former plant will
be used In the new one, being still In
excellent condition. Tbe old buildings
are In ruins however and the plans call
for complete new structures. The In
tention is to manufacture building and
paving brick. A fine bed of shale
lying on the hill just above the pro
posed location, will be mined for the
plant's use.
From thirty to forty men will be
given employment in the Meredith
plant when It Is In operation. Most of
these employes will be drawn from the
farming district around and It will
materially Increase the prosperity of
the territory lying west of this place
and incidentally of Reynoldsville, as
the region is naturally within our com
mercial radius.
The promoters of this project are all
old and experienced men In the brick
business. Mr. Meredith formerly
operated a plant at the station which
boars his name; Mr. O'Donnell la now
president of tho Reynoldsvlllo Brick St
Tile Co., and Mr, White Ib one of the
most prominont brick plant managers
In Western Pennsylvania having boon
connected with some of the largest
companies In the state. Undor such
guidance tbe new project can hardly
fail to succeed.-
