Sewer pipe is made from three to twentyâ€"seven inches. Openware and crocks and the Great machines mix and knead the raw clays. Under pressure they are run through other automatic maâ€" chinery. Making tile is practically the same operation as making macaâ€" roni. An earthen dough, under presâ€" sure, is run through a die which shapes it. The moist pipes are autoâ€" matically trimmed and set aside to in two parts, the top set on the lower half, the seam is made invisible by hand, the handle is put on while the clay is still damp and pliable and the whole piece is kilnâ€"burnt. ‘ To be sure there has been some imâ€" petus toâ€" the demand for "openâ€" mouthed" crocks of the kind the maker of homeâ€"brew is supposed to eovet.

White Hall products have won prizes at internaâ€" tional expositions and the name, White Hall, on stoneware has been recognized as something akin to Sterling on silver. > the pottery world. C. A. Ruckel, his son, now is head of the business. And it was here in White Hall that the White Hall Sewer Pipe & Pottery Worksâ€"built the first 42â€"foot kilns, the largest in the world at that time. To this day, it is claimed, none is larger though some of equal size have been built. Others followed in and for 101 years the pottery business in White Hall has steadily moved on. It was in White Hall, Greene counâ€" ty, DL, that A. D. Ruckel perfected the flashâ€"wall kiln the influence of which was soon to be known through pottery made of red clay and glazed with red lead. Seven years later, in 1833, a seeâ€" and plant was established in White Hall. Here the first genuine saitâ€" glazed pottery was made in Dlinois by William Heath came out of the east mnd established the first pottery man~ ufecturing plant in Illinois.

Down here in White Hall they tell me that if Josiah Lamborn hadn‘t been "taken in early manhood" he would have gone down in history along with Lincoln and Douglas. Before his takingâ€"off he was the third. they say, of a triumverate of Tllinois statesmen who tanked above all others. Douglas and Lincoin were the other two. He was a man of reâ€" markable genius, statesmanship and oratorical ability in a time when these things marked a man as great. His grave is in White Hall. Experienced as an orchardist, he bought land and the orchard now ships out sometimes as many as 500 carloads of apples in a season. Wrote .Famous Lines Here also lies sleeping the Rev.

Another industry is the White Hall Pants & Overall Co., which manuâ€" factures the "Maiden White Hall" brand. White Hall also hasâ€" a botâ€" tling works and a milk condensery. But clay products are the main thing. And then there are the McClaysâ€" Imixing bowls for our kitchens that Here healthyâ€" young hogs are brought and incculated with the disâ€" ease.
