" Indiana Vitrified Fire Clay Building Tile For All Building Purposes Manufactured exclusively from the fam¬ ous under-coal fire clay of Brazil, Ind. This fire clay is one of the most refractory clays known. Because of this fact it is thoroughly vitrified under a heat that would cause other and inferior clays to melt into a shapeless mass. Brazil Hollow Brick & Tile Co. Brazil, Indiana 1 Crushing Strength More than 150 Tons. The testing machine couldn't crush it. as it only had capacity of 300,000 pounds. The “Kant Krush” Tile ( Patented) HIS block (coming in various sizes and modifications in shape) is the only practical vitrified building tile for all- around use. With its double outer and inner wall it provides a perfect seat for the mortar. It has dead air spaces, insuring warmth. There are breaks in the horizontal mortar joint to prevent the capillary absorption of moisture, and channels for reinforcing. With its lightness, its cheap¬ ness and its enormous crushing strength, it is at once cheaper and better than brick, more durable than any other known material and from every standpoint is the ideal building material for residences, stores, barns and all out buildings. 2 “Kant Krush” and “Kraft”, the Everlast¬ ing Vitrified Fire Clay Building Tile. These tile, made under the patents of the Brazil Hollow Brick 8c Tile Co., are the only tile on the market that offer all the superior points of a perfect building tile as follows: MATERIAL. These tile are made from the purest under-coal fire clay from our own mines near Brazil, Clay County, Indiana. This clay is the best in the world in quality and when properly burned is thoroughly vitrified, being absolutely non-porous and imper¬ vious to moisture. This clay stands a higher temperature than most clay and the finished product is more nearly per¬ fect, not twisted in burning but remaining uniform in size and shape. The tile lay up in perfect alignment, making a good and workmanlike job. Scenes in Our Clay Mines The upper picture shows the interior of one of the galleries in our clay mines at Brazil. This illustrates the difficulty of obtaining under-coal fire clay many feet underground. But it is so much superior to surface clays and shale that we consider it well worth the much greater cost of mining. The lower picture shows the entrance to one of our mines. A good vitrified fire clay block is not only worth more than one made of inferior clay, but it costs more to produce. We use no surface clay. All our clay is mined from under-coal seams . Millions of years ago the dense vegetation which was afterwards transformed into coal, in growing on this clay made certain profound changes in its character, the most import¬ ant of which is that it will resist a much higher degree of heat than other 3 clays. When heated to 2300 degrees it becomes a solid non-porous, mois¬ ture-resisting homogeneous mass, and yet does not lose its shape in the process, whereas other clays melt like wax in such a temperature. Not Our Vitrified Fire Clay. The picture herewith shows the combined effect of the two deadly enemies of most building materials—moisture and frost. A building block made of cheap clay can’t be properly vitrified— it wont stand the heat. It will lose its shape or melt altogether before it reaches the thoroughly vitrified stage. This block was very prettily glazed and looked good when new, but it was made of low- grade clay, it had minute pores through it. These attracted the moisture, and the frost did the rest. Shape. The special feature of “Kant Krush” and Kraft” tile is the section which is semi-divided by indentations on top and bottom in center with two dove tailed grooves in top and bottom mortar beds and the five dead air spaces through the length of the tile. (See Page 2.) The indentations referred to make two distinct and separated mortar beds, each joint thereby leaving an additional dead air space in the mortar joint. This bed joint being non-continuous prevents the absorption and transmission of moisture. The narrow air spaces in the double inside and outside walls of this tile, in addition to increasing the bearing capacity of the wall, form an ideal seat for the vertical mortar joints, making a true tongue and groove joint, the mortar forming the tongue and the double wall the groove. It also forms a key that prevents cold or moisture from penetrating the wall and also adds great strength to the wall. The dove tailed indentations on top and bottom beds serve two purposes; first, as a key in the mortar joint between the courses, preventing any lateral movement of the tile and making an absolutely tight joint. Second, they serve as a seat for the steel reinforcing rods when severe lateral stress re¬ quires their use. This wall construction gives ample dead air spaces, the ones next the inside and outside faces being sealed at each length of tile by the mortar joints and the three in the center being continuous make three long dead air cushions, which together with the short dead air cushions on either side and the additional dead air cushion between the mortar joints of the beds, provide an ideally installed wall, noil-conductive of heat, cold and moisture. 4 DEAD AIR 5PACE IN HORI¬ ZONTAL AAORTAR J0INT5.

This joint is not only air tight, but the vertical openings in the double walls form a mortar seat such as cannot be secured in an ordinary plain end vitrified tile. Strength of Vitrified Fire Clay Building Tile Strength is the most necessary feature of hollow tile construction. The “Kant Krush” tile with its double outside walls gives double strength bearings for the tile above and for the floor joists and wall plates for roof. Tests of this tile have proven it to be one of the strongest, a tile eight inches high, eight inches wide and sixteen inches long, having withstood a crushing strain of 300,000 pounds without crushing. Extensive tests by the Robt. W. Hunt Co., Chicago and the Engineering Department of the Iowa State University at Ames, Iowa, have proven that “Kant Krush” tile are amply strong for any use in any buildings, for which tile can be used. Aside from the matter of strength and protection from the cold of winter and the heat of summer, “Kant Krush” tile because of their glazed surface preserve their fresh new look for an indefinite period. The rich warm colorings of these tile make them attractive to the eye and they never require painting or repairing. r* o Letter From Robt. W. Hunt & Co. Of the Bureau of Inspections, Tests and Consultation giving results of test of crushing strain on Kant Krush Tile similar to thejme illustrated on Page 2. Note that this tile stood a test of 300,000 lbs. or more than 150 tons, which was as strong a test as the machine was capable of making. The tile did not break down under this enormous pressure, which was a far more severe test than such a tile could ever receive in an ordinary building.

This load was maintained on the tile for five minutes. While the tlie was cracking or commencing to fail under the load, a complete failure was not obtained. S3 M/S Respectfully submitted, 6 Reinforcing a Simple Matter That Any Builder can Easily Handle By the use of No. 9 steel wire reinforcement between the different courses of tile, great lateral strength may be added to the wall construct¬ ed of “Kraft” tile. Steel wire has a tensile strength of 60,000 pounds per square inch of area. In order to distort a wall which has been laid up using wire reinforcement, it would be necessary to pull apart the rein¬ forcing wires. This wire can be bought cut into lengths and straightened. It is much easier for a mason to handle it in this condition. It is readily seen that the addition of these wires gives such an in¬ creased lateral strength that it is possible to lay-up very strong walls and at the same time use only four inch tile. The use of wire reinforcement with heavier tile correspondingly adds to the strength of the wall. Wire reinforced walls can be laid-up in long lengths without buttresses or cross walls, thereby greatly cheapening the cost of construction.; j A 4-Inch Wall With One Row of “Kraft” Tile Steel reinforc¬ ing wires are run in every other course. These wires are com¬ pletely imbedded in the mortar in the dpve-tailed grooves. They provide an ad¬ ditional bond be¬ tween tiles and between the dif¬ ferent sections of the wall that is several times as strong as any possible stress might require. Small farm buildings can be very economically built with tile and by using this method of reinforcing a 4-inch wall will give ample strength. The building on the following page is an example of this form of inexpen¬ sive but permanent and satisfactory construction. 7 Illustration of Hog House with 4-inch walls, built of 4-inch vit¬ rified tile reinforced with No. 9 steel wires. This wall is as strong as an 8-inch wall from tiles made of softer clay. Adaptability of “Kraft” Building Tile for All Building Purposes “Kraft” tile makes an ideal building material because of the size and shape of the tile, together with the many special shapes of tile all of which work in with the straight tile and are adapted to various special features of building construction. We call attention to the corner tile, sill tile, jamb and half jamb tile and the lintel tiles. All of these tiles combine the special features of double outer wall construction, discon¬ tinuous level joints and the vertical mortar joint keys next to inner and outer faces of tile. Special attention is called to the superior wind stop features of the sill, jamb and lintel tiles. (See pages 26 and 27). Columns, Pilasters, Etc. I Columns and Pilasters of various sizes can be easily built of “Kraft” tile maintaining a perfect bond at all times. (See details). Special tile 10 inches and 14 inches long can be furnished for filling in between joist space, 12 inches and 16 inches, respectively. As shown on page 24, wall plates, grounds, etc. can easily be attached to “Kraft” tile walls by the use of “toggle” bolts, as shown by the drawings. Flues may be built in the walls, as shown by the detailed drawings. 8 For Factories “Kraft” tile are the ideal building block for factory construction. They can be used either alone or in combination with steel skeleton or rein¬ forced concrete construction. Where columns are used either of steel or concrete they can be enclosed in tile, as shown on page 23, the column taking the place of the flues shown on these various sketches. Where reinforced concrete is used as a column, no expensive wooden forms are necessary; simply brace pilasters and pour concrete into space left by enclosing walls of tile. If preferred, steel sash of standard manufacture can be used in window openings, as the “Kraft” tile special window sills, jambs and lintels are designed for use with either steel sash or wooden frames and sash. A factory built of this tile construction is strong, fire¬ proof, damp-proof, vermin-proof and is everlasting, as with this material there is no depreciation caused by the elements. “Kraft” Tile, Brick Veneered Buildings of tile can be built veneered with brick if desired, the “Kraft” tile lending itself admirably to this construction, as perfect bond¬ ing can be maintained by the use of four inch and eight inch tile as shown on page 29. Almost any bond can be used as the flexibility of this tile with brick veneer is practically unlimited. Relative Cost—Tile the Best and in the End the Cheapest The first cost is the last cost with tile. “Kraft” tile construction runs as a general rule about 5 to 10 per cent, higher than frame construction and about 10 per cent, less than brick buildings. A building built of “Kraft” tile throughout, walls, partitions, sills, lintels, window jambs, etc. will last indefinitely. The saving in fuel for heating due to the dead air spaces in the walls, the saving in insurance and maintenance, will in a short time off-set the small additional cost of this type of construction over the perishable frame construction. Any kind of farm building can be built of “Kraft” tile, such as residences, chicken houses, hog houses, tool houses, cattle and horse barns, sheep sheds, storage sheds, etc. 9 There’s A Big Saving in Weight in Tile as Compared With Brick One 4x5x12 tile weighs 10+ pounds; 3+ common brick weigh approx¬ imately 17+ pounds. One 8x5x12 tile weighs 20 pounds; seven common brick weigh approximately 35 pounds. Rules for Measurement A tile 4x5x12 is equal to 3+ common brick. A tile 8x5x12 is equal to seven common brick. 2.2 tile of each size will be required to lay-up one square foot of wall surface. 7.2 tile 4x5x12 are required to lay-up one cubic foot of wall. 3.6 tile 8x5x12 are required to lay-up one cubic foot of wall. For four inch or eight inch wall using tile five inches high and twelve inches long, multiply the number of net surface feet (openings deducted) in walls by 2.2 to obtain the number of tile required. For a 12 inch wall which would be laid-up by using 4x5x12 and 8x5x12 tiles, multiply the number of net surface feet (openings deducted) in walls by 4.4 to obtain the required number of tile. Half of these tile would be four inch and the other half eight inch tile. For jambs, state thickness of wall, give number of vertical feet of jamb, including both sides of opening. For corners, state thickness of wall, give total height of all corners. The Best Mortar to Use The best kind of mortar to use for laying up tile buildings is a cement and lime mortar made in the proportion of one part cement to three parts sand and with the addition of hydrated lime to the amount of 15 per cent as much lime as cement. This makes a mortar that spreads freely and when set is dense and homogeneous. The addition of the hydrated lime adds strength to the mortar and also makes it water-proof. 10 Kraft Tile Suitable for all Classes of Buildings. Vitrified Building Tile can be used to advantage in the ; foundations of frame build¬ ings. Their great strength, and their resistance to moisture, as well as their cheapness are all points in their favor. This pattern storage house is made of Brazil Building Tile. The building is practi¬ cally fire proof, which is im¬ portant at all times, but espec¬ ially so in the storage of patterns which if lost cannot be replaced without great cost. Here is an illustration of a handsome residence built throughout of vitrified tile. This home is warmer in win¬ ter and cooler in summer than any other form of construc¬ tion. It requires no painting and is practically indestruct¬ ible. 11 Elevations and Sectional Views are shown of a modern dairy barn, 36 ft- 12 quired to support the purlines carrying the rafters between trusses. The loft floor is 1x6' dressed and matched flooring with a H" beaded ceiling on the under side of joist to prevent dust and dirt from sifting through into dairy stable. Special fresh air intakes may be arranged for in the pilasters and a foul air outlet should be provided through to roof with proper ventilator. The roof as shown is of shingles, laid 4i” to the weather, nailed to 1x4' strips spaced 2" apart. The roof covering may be of metal or ready roofing. If ready roofing is used the roof sheathing should be of 7 /%" dressed and matched common flooring driven up tight. The interior arrangement of the first floor is only a suggestion on < our part. Any plan may be followed, using either home made stall fix¬ tures or “James”, “King” or other patterns.

The Circular Barn shown is 60' in diameter, built of 8" “Kraft” tile with roof constructed as shown on the various plans and sections. Many of the finest barns in the country are being built of Hollow Tile. “Kraft” tile barns are just as economical for the man of moderate means as for the well-to-do, as the first cost is very nominal and a Kraft tile barn is everlasting. A “Kraft” tile dairy barn built of this hard burned clean and non- absorbent material is sure to attract attention. This type of barn is easily kept clean and is splendidly adapted to the sanitary handling of milk. “Kraft” tile are fire-proof, moisture-proof, vermin-proof, sanitary, imperishable, attractive, quickly laid, adaptable, extra strong, warm in winter, cool in summer, inexpensive and fuel saving.

It Pays to Build Permanently “Kraft” Building Tile, one of the cheapest of all building materials are certainly the best material in the world for durability. The passing of the years have no effect on them. The frosts of winter and the heat of sum¬ mer never touch them. After they have stood 25 years they look as though they had just been laid up. Buildings of this sort do not “run down”. They are a permanent asset. They add real value to the farm. 16 Brazil Tile Make Cool Milk Houses _ This is the picture of a milk house built of Brazil Tile in 1884, 32 years ago. It is as good today as the day it was built and it looks it. No other material offers so much resist¬ ance to the cold of winter or the heat of summer. Neither is any other material so clean and sanitary.

Vitrified Tile Store Buildings A store building of clean, handsome vitrified tile is a most effective advertisement for the dealer who occupies it. Any building properly put up looks well when it is new, but other materials soon get old and dingy, while “Kraft” tile stay new. They look as well 25 years afterward as they did the day they were put in place and they require no painting or other attention. 19 20 21 How to Lay Up ‘‘Kraft” Tile Showing method of building up corner of eight inch wall.

Illustration Showing Method of Veneer¬ ing Brick Building with “Kraft” Tile It will be noted that by the use of 4 and 8 inch tile perfect bonding can be obtained. There are many other ways by which bonding can be secured in connection with brick veneer besides that shown, because the wide range of sizes gives an almost unlimited range of bond¬ ing possibilities. A brick veneered tile wall % gives strength, dryness, warmth and permanence. It makes a better wall than a solid brick one and is cheaper. There is almost no form of brick construction where at least some tile cannot be introduced with advantage. 29 Window and Door Height Charts Window or Door Frames can be made any multiple of 5#" plus % for an extra joint.
