Mock Bros., Brick Manufacturers

Adopting the most important and apparently desirable features of the machinery devised by his predecessors and rejecting those which experience
has shown to be defective and unsatisfactory, at the same time introducing important improvements of his own, Mr. F. J. Mock, of the well-known
firm of Mock Bros., brick Manufacturers, of Muncie, Ind., has invented and patented machinery which has been pronounced by practical producers and
exports in this line the most perfect, satisfactory and economical of any yet placed before the public. The different devices applied to the hand-
ling of the clay before it is conveyed to the machine and the superior quality of brick as they are made, keeping time and working harmoniously
together, are immense advantages over anything which has yet been introduced to expedite and cheapen the cost of manufacturing. By the use of this
machine the process of brick making has been completely revolutionized and a better article of brick is produced at a smaller cost than by any formal
process. One machine now in use is turning out 16,000 bricks per day, at an expense for motive power and help of only $8. Horse power but the substi-
tution of steam it is claimed that the capacity can be increased 100 per cent or more at a very small additional expense. The firm of Mock Bros. is
composed of Messrs. James F. And John The. Market, both of whom are old residents of Indiana and thoroughly conversant with the brick business in all
its details. In addition to the manufacture of brick and the machines above noticed, which they are now introducing with great success, this firm makes
