Mr.. Major, the famous cement man of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that IL Is many hundred per cent
better than any other cement, for which sim.
not know why. The simple reason Is that
MIR. Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells us
that one of the elements of his cement costs
1913 pound, and another costs s2.65 gallon
while a large share of the sO-called ccments
and liquid glue upon the market are nothing
more than sixteen cent glue, dissolved in
water or citric acid, and in some cases,
altered slightly In color ana OdOr by the
addition of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents "A bottle, and when "A dealer
tries TO sell a substitute you can depend
upon 1t that his only object Is 10 make a
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement g. as much
ass any dealer ought to make on any
cement And this Is doubly true In view OF
the fact that each dealer gets his share Of
the benefit Of Mr.. Majors advertising, which
amounts 10 over 5000 month, throughout
the country. Established in 1876.
