r ° r upwards of half a oentury the Garnkirk Fire Clay has been known throughout the world, and the supply of It is still inexhaustible
1 his Clay differs from that from which other Scotch Eire Clay wares are made, in being comparatively free from iron, the presence of which
m quantity is not only dangerous, but wasteful, as owing to its power as,a conductor, it causes great radiation of heat.
The Garnkirk Fire Clay differs from these other Scotch Clays also in the extra cost of its manufacture, requiring as it does for burnine a
degree of heat which changes theee clays into a blaok vitreous mass. ^^'
The GarnMrk Company have been favoured with the results of a series of comparative trials whioh had been made by large English
consumers, m which the best brands of Fire Bricks of the United Kingdom were terted againBfc the Gamkuk Bricks. In each and all ofthoae
trials, the Garnkirk Brick proved the most refractory, and even tie highly prized Stourbridge Bricks yielded in each trial to the force of hoat
applied with five times the rapidity of the GarnMrk- Bricks.
The Qarpkirk Fire Olay Company manufacture specially for-XHasB Works where the clay is required to withstand the action of molten
glass, and also fpr other works where the combining power of alkalies has to be wiStetood.
The GARNKIRK FIRE CLAY COMPANY confidently recommend their Fire Clay Ware as being the best to be had.
