The Purington is the brand of brick pavers used on most, if not

I have documented Humboldt, Nebraska labeled bricks at multiple 
former Burlington platform locations in northern Kansas (Haddam, 
Morrowville, Concordia, Washington) and southern Nebraska (Diller, 
Odell, Hubbell).  Were Humboldt bricks used instead of Purington 
bricks at these locations because of geography, or because they were 
originally on Burlington & Missouri in Nebraska trackage?  These 
small-town depots/platforms likely saw little updating over the years 
so I suppose that too could be a factor.  Thanks for the interesting 
discussion.

Todd,
I have a brick from the Washington, KS (my hometown) CB&Q Depot and 
it states "Humboldt, Nebraska" on the top. I helped save that depot a 
number of years back, but it ended up as a school storage building in 
the end with school mascot crap in the windows. And they recently put 
a metal building on the side now. Not sense of history, I think. 
Thanks, Duane Koss/Blue Spgs,MO/BRHS
