THE POTTERY AT MEDICINE HAT

VANCOUVER, B.C., July 21, 1912
Editor CROCKERY AND GLASS JOURNAL
Dear Sir: A clipping from the JOURNAL has been sent me which states that not much credence is given to a report received at East Liverpool that a new pottery is to be established at Medicine Hat, Canada.
Permit me to state that the report is quite correct, and that the pottery is well along towards completion. I may also add that as a result of investigations of Canadian clays, carried on by me during the last four summers for the Canadian Geological Survey, I can state that Western Canada contains clays adapted to the manufacture of red earthenware and stoneware. Some of these could be used by the Medicine Hat pottery.
Yours very truly,
HEINRICH RIES, of Cornell University
