Hi Robert:
Wonder if the following is of any use to you:
Fire Bricks. - Stourbridge (Rufford's and others) best made bricks, at Ward's,
Honduras-wharf, Bankside, London, to be Sold for arrival. This is a great
advantage to the purchasers, saving all the expenses of unshipping,
lighterage, landing, reloading, &c. An immense stock of all the best made
Stourbridge, Welsh, and Newcastle fire goods at summer prices, although
freights and other expenses have considerably advanced. Shippers, gas
companies, engineers, consumers, and large buyers supplied at lower prices
than they can import, besides the advantage of having an immediate supply
without waiting the uncertainty of ships arriving at this season of the year.
The Times: Friday 8th January 1847
Kindest regards Chris Kelland
