Imagine a trainload of bricks 1767 miles . long. Imagine 8,500,000,000 bricks, Some bricks!. I. have just looked in on Danville, home: of: thj brick. ~Also home of "Uncle Joe" Cannon, now in his 89th year. Uncle Jce holds the American long distance record in Congressâ€"but I started to tell about bricks. h | F. W. Butterworth is general manâ€" ager of ‘the Western Brick Oo.,'ofa Danville, â€" It is credited with being the largest manufacturer of face brick; in the United States. I asked Mr. Butterworth about ‘bricks. . He said, rather casually, T diet us "This company makes about 13,000 car loads of brick a year. That‘s enough to, build 9,000 fl%rage sized homes." o f Used in Chicago Have you ever stopped to think how many bricks it took to build the buildings in the loop district in Chiâ€" cago? <I was told that pretty. near all of the loop bricks‘ came out of Danville, the bricks in the new Union League club, the new Sherman House annex, the Eitel block, and the Allerâ€" ton ho\u? being some of the newer buildings| built of Danville brick. Danville has just received the order for the tticka for the great Stevens hotelâ€"now under constructionâ€"three million r&icks â€" the biggest single brick order for any one building in years, perhaps a record for all time. It was while we were talking about these things that the estimate of Danâ€" ville‘s® total production, gince the inâ€" dustry started in 1900, was made. It was put at 3,500,000,000 bricks. Yes, many bricks. £:> _*. Huge Output * Danville‘s total production of bricks we figured would make & solid train 1767 milés long, a train that would stretth from New York to Chicago and ‘then south .about to New Orâ€" leans. +Its yearly production, at presâ€" ent figures, a train 98 miles long. Statistics are a ‘bit startling someâ€" times, + j The four separate companies operâ€" ating a string of plants ¢ircling. Danâ€" ville can ship out of Danville, in a pinth, 100, carloads of ‘brick pvery 24 hours. The brickâ€"industry in Danâ€" ville employs approximately 1000 men and burns about 450 tons of coal a day. | § Oh, yes, coalâ€" . « The brick and coal industry in Danâ€" ville are.closely interlocked. A good many. years ago, Mike Kelly, now dead, got the idea that surface soil could be movyed off. and| the shallow veins of coal about Danville mingd right out in the open,. That was the birth of the "strip xiiine.” . Strip Mine Industry Today the strip mine industry is developed to a higher degree around Danville than any where else in the country. Big shovels are used, specâ€" ially made, larger than those used in digging the Panama Canal, the operâ€" ators told me. §3 2 .__Works Together ? Coal and bricks work along togethâ€" er pretty well around here. For exâ€" ample the Western Britk company‘s properties were selected for a reason. As they are worked a stratum of clay is laid bare andâ€"then aâ€"stratum of coal. Then comes another stratum of clay and another of coal.* Clay goes into brick and coal makes the fuel. Simple, isn‘t it? > Probably third among the indusâ€"| tries of Danville is zinc, represented ; chiefly by the Hegler Zlnc company.) This industry has been built up hire largely because of transpotta‘tion and fuel supply. tfiys > ; There‘s another little story of Danâ€" vill. H. C. Horneman arrived in town one day in 1910 with:â€"$700. : He: went to manufacturing butter, His output now runs, ‘he f.ohd me, about 28,000,000 pounds yearly.. He is the president of the Sugar Creek Creamâ€" ery, credited with bi?c the © third largest producer of. creamery butter in the U. 8. A.. : [ }:= phbe n He has branches at Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis and Evansyille, Ind., St. Louis and Marshfield, Mo., Pana, Watseka and sales offices in . Pittsâ€" burg, Pa., and Jacksonville, Fla. He still lives in â€"Danville. |I found him at the fair grounds looking over the cows. [ | [ And that‘s something else again. . Danville is the home of the Illinois and Indiana Fair assgociation which takes in a group of e nties on each side of the line. It is one ‘of the biggest fairs in the state and has an cutdoor amusement p in connecâ€" tion open all summer, ; Speaking of amusementsâ€"have you heard of Danâ€" ville‘s lake? > t e onig . THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK, ago so Danville took an inventory of its lake possibilities. Engineers found that by damming a& narrow neck of the Vermillion river just out of Danâ€" ville a lake a mile wide and six miles long could be formed.. . The water will average from twenty to forty feet deep. : . f | The dam is in and the water backâ€" up. . It will take the winter rain probably, to fill the great <reservoir which will hold 25,000,000,000, gallons. But in spite of that a yacht club has been formed, subdivisions are being opened up along the future shore and the golf club is preparing to open a new 18 hole course where boating and golfing can be combined. | [ Centennial in 1927 { Folk in Danville gre preparing| celebrate jthe city‘s 100th anniver sary.
