AYLWARD showed us through the Emmetsburg Brick and Tile factory, which has been operated steadily for several weeks. At present their is a short delay caused by the failure of a shipment of shale to reach the yard promptly, but work has not been entirely suspended. So far about 25 kilns of tile have been burned. There are about 10,000 of five inch tile in each kiln. The quality of the finished product is excellent. Ten or twelve men are regularly employed.
