Wanted – A 40-Horse Power Engine and 60-horse power boiler, or two 30-horse power boilers; must be in good repair. Lengby Brick Co., Lengby, Minn. (The Minneapolis Journal, Monday Evening, July 22, 1901, Page 11)
S. S. Stadsvold of Fosston was in the city a few days ago exhibiting samples of brick made at Lengby. He disposed of eight carloads on the line between here and Fosston, one of which was purchased by Boyd & Gilbert of this city. They are of a superior quality and very handsomely made.

Will Use Bemidji Brick. County Commissioner Wright made a good fight for local interests on the court house contract, and won out, so that the Bemidji brick yard will have the privilege of furnishing the interior brick for the building. Two commissioners made a stiff fight for the Lengby brick, and may succeed in landing the jail contract for that article of construction. The Lengby brick is admitted to be a superior white brick, and will make very handsome facings for the new jail, while the Bemidji brick is considered to be a very strong brick and suitable for the interior walls of the court house.

Fire at Lengby. Early Thursday morning the Lengby Brick and Tile plant suffered a bad fire, destroying the engine house completely and a big share of their saw mill. The Lengby Fire Department were handicapped by the headway the flames had made before discovered. The loss will be large but how much is not yet known.
