  Extract from the Manufacturer's Report. We made a large quantity of China from the Clay. The Clay came to us with all its impurities. It was washed and the Mica taken from it and used without any of the careful processes of preparation to which our English Clays are subjected. Taking this fact into account, the results were surprisingly good. We see no reason why Clay Works should not be erected in Ireland as we are confident that the Clay is of considerable value. Note: Josiah Wedgwood the great Potter in giving evidence before the House of Commons stated that the English Potters obtained their Clay from Devon, Dorset, Cornwall and the Irish Coast

  Lovely pots but was Mason showing off Wedgewood pottery or some Irish version???

• Niall McAuley said:

  As an employer, the thinking of T.C. Beirne, was well ahead of his time and his fairness generated fierce loyalty. He offered a generously supported superannuation scheme, however his efforts at establishing profit sharing and employee share ownership plans designed to better reward employees were, for mainly historical reasons, largely unsuccessful. The “grand old man of the Valley”, as he became known, built Queensland’s leading department store business and a fortune for those times. As one of Australia’s first millionaires, T. C. Beirne’s generous philanthropy created lasting community legacies. Source: leaders.slq.qld.gov.au/inductees/t-c-beirne-1860-1949/

  These should all be re-scanned. The resolution is only adequate for printing at a 150-line screen halftone and the noise is unacceptable for archival quality.
