Abstract:

North Carolina has a reputation of being the brick-making capital of the world. Pine Hall Brick and Pipe Company, which originated in Pine Hall in Stokes County in 1922, has opened a new, fully-automated plant near Madison. In a seven and one-half hour day, the plant can turn out 100,000 of Pine Hall's famous red-burned shale bricks. Over a year this would represent half of the company production of 100-million bricks.
