When Planning Brick Building.

The choice of brick is a difficult matter to adviSe. Avoid brick likely to discoloration through presence of salts in the clay. Brick should be hard burned, impervious to water and nonabsorptive. Do not judge of the effect of brick from a sample held in the hand. Go and see some building In which the brick in question has been used. In purchasing brick make sure that the same size and color are likely to be in stock for some time. This may prevent trouble in case of later alterations.
