 Clays of New York: their properties and uses (p. 711)
 By Heinrich Ries
 Ogdensburg, St Lawrence со. Paige Bros.' yard is on Cedar cor. Canton street, at the southwest end of town. The clay is of a deep blue color, the upper 10 feet being somewhat sandy. It has been bored to a depth of 60 feet in places, but this depth is not constant, and in spots the underlying limestone rises to within a few feet of the surface. The sand for tempering has to be brought 2 miles. The following is an analysis of the clay.
 Silica 49.20
 Alumina 17.47
 Peroxid of iron 6.23
 Lime 7.86
 Magnesia 4.87
 Alkalis: 9.82
 Only common brick are made. Soft mud machines are used. Drying is done in the sun and burning in scove-kilns. The bricks have been largely used in the asylum buildings at Ogdensburg.

 The following editorial was written in the local newspaper:
 A Thriving Industry
 OGDENSBURG, August 3, 1897,
 EDITOR JOURNAL:
 Having been a resident of Ogdensburg for many years - "reaching toward the three score" - I naturally feel an interest in the prosperity of our "Maple City" materially and otherwise. Especially am I glad when our home industries thrive.
 Noticing the fine class of brick contractors Willard and Feely are using in Mr. Musgrave's new building, I found they were made by the firm of A. A. Paige & Co., of this city. Later inquiry revealed the fact that this firm is making a superior class of brick of all grades which meet the demands of contractors and builders.
 Feeling such an interest in such matters, I am glad to call attention to this brick "plant," where from 14 t o 20 workingmen find employment.
 Success attend our city industries.
