The demand for colors in brick was first met by the manufacturers of red face brick by fire‐flashing their normally red firing material, producing a range of brown and brownish red colors. Later they used vapor glazing with zinc and color flashing with coal tar. The red face brick color range includes green, mustard, purple, and glossy black. This paper describes the materials, methods, and results obtained at the Sea‐board Shale Brick and Tile Company plant at Monroe, N. C., and was checked at other plants in the same district.
