    Description

    HISTORICAL FIRE BRICKS WERE FOUND IN AN OLD COTTON GIN IN RAYMONDVILLE, TEXAS WHILE IT WAS BEING DEMOLISHED BACK IN THE EARLY 1970'S.
    "Laclede Fire Brick Manufacturing Company was founded in 1844 as one of the earliest manufacturers of fireclay brick in the United States. The plant was located in St. Louis because of the abundance of Cheltenham fireclay which has later proven one of the most desirable raw materials for the manufacture of fireclay refractories.
