The One Feature of Construction at our
Plant is that all Cement Mixtures are not made as in
the ordinary usual way by hand which cannot insure
an even mix but that by an Automatic Machine run
by Electric Power all pajts are stirred and well shaken
together. And then too evety stone is cured under
shelter—and well cui'ed before it's used
That's the Feature and Policy of ours.
