This is an old tea brick. Can any one translate the writing at the bottom? Thanks

The characters read across from the right in two lines as 中國茶業公司,趙李橋磚茶廠製造 (Zhong-guo Cha-ye Gong-si, Zhao-Li-qiao zhuan-cha-chang zhi-zao), which I believe is translatable as "Made by the Zhaoliqiao Tea Brick Factory of the China Tea Enterprise Company". Zhaoliqiao is a city (Zhaoliqiaozhen) in Hubei Province. A Chinese language forum at the link indicates the maker of this brick moved there in 1953 from Chibei City, Hubei.

Best Regards,

Bill H.
