Chas. Pinz and the Paine company have started to manufacture brick this week.  The brick on hand has been practically all sold and the business is getting better every day.  We are very glad that the industry shows improvement.  (The Princeton Union, Thursday, May 13, 1915, Volume XXXVII, Number 21, Page 6)
