0592 firmer and will stand the jar of machinery better than either red brick or stone. This was thoroughly tested in the larges and beautiful factory built with the Cement Blocks by Henry Wood's Son & Co., at Wellesly, Mass., and filled with heavy machinery used by them in the manufacture of colors. This fine structure was unfortunately destroyed by fire during the last summer, but the stack connected with it, one hundred and two (102) feet high, is still standing uninjured by the fire. It is probably the strongest and the most beautiful stack in New England. The color mill is rapidly rebuilding of the same material. The undersigned has control in the State of Massachusetts, of the several patents, under which the Patent Building Blocks are manufactured and proposes to form Stock Companies for the manufacture of the Blocks in Suffolk and Middlesex Counties. He invites the co-operation of capitalists in this effort. His plan is to form a Stock Company in each County. He will subscribe liberally to the Stock of each Company and would be pleased to have some one man in each town and city in the County take stock and act as selling agent for the Company in the town in which he is located. This is considered preferable to having a large body of stock holders. It is proposed to manufacture, in addition to the blocks, Window-Caps and Sills and Cornices in very variety of architecture. Also, Tile and Drain Pipe, all of which can be furnished far cheaper that stone or red brick, and give a most satisfactory profit to the manufactures. It can be readily seen that the business to be done is practicably unlimited, and that such an opportunity for investment is rarely offered. The Blocks can be seen in various buildings in the towns of Marlboro, Hudson, Sherborn, Ashland, Wayland, Natick, Wellesly, Cochituate and Newton, and in the cities of Worcester and Chelsea, Mass. Also in Providence, R. I., Bridgeport and New Haven, Conn , New York City and Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Richmond, Va., Mobile, Ala., New Orleans and Galveston. In all the above named cities Blocks are now being extensively used and in some of them the demand exceeds the supply. Samples of the Blocks can be seen at Horace P. Tobey's office, 23 Broad Street, at J. Franklin Fuller's, Civil Engineer, 96 Washington Street, and J. B. Goodrich, Court Street, Boston. Further information can be obtained from the above parties. The books for the subscription of Stock may also be found at Horace P. Tobey's, 23 Broad St., and J. G. Goodrich's, - Court Street. Reference is made to the following parties: Hon, Henry Wilson.
