North Carolina contains several extensive areas of shale deposits, which are favorably located for working and which in their slightly weathered condition have been recently found to be well adapted to the manufacture of face brick, hollow blocks, sewer pipes, etc. As a result of these discoveries a number of clay working plants have been recently set in operation and others are in course of construction.
