"A coming change in building
material is in sight, one which will
combine cheapness with durability
Machines which will mold blocks
of cement, or, rather, blocks made
of sand and cement, are doing most
economical and satisfactory work.
The outlay fer the machinery is not
heavy, the blocks can be manu-
featured where needed for use, and
the cost of putting them in the wall
is only half that of laying brick.
The constantly increasing price of
lumber as a buildingi material is
compelling the adoption of such
methods.
