MHS Resources: Manitoba Bricks and Blocks: Payne YardHarry Payne of Souris started a brick yard just west of Hartney in 1895, on a tract of land purchased from H. Hammond. By April 1896, Payne and his workers were producing 100,000 bricks per kiln. In his brick-making season of 1897, Payne burned three kilns, with the last one producing 150,000 reddish and white-coloured bricks in mid-November. Sold for $8 per thousand bricks, Payne shipped his brick to towns east and west of Hartney. In 1897, Payne sold his bricks to W. Hopkins for the veneer of his store at Emerson, and for the construction of two houses in the Hartney area. In 1899, he made improvements to his brick yard and was producing 30,000 bricks per day. The Payne yard continued in business into 1901 when Payne opened a second yard site. However, by 1902, Payne was no longer producing brick. See also:
