 Selma was selected on account of the manifold natural advantages which tthis citv offers for such an industry. It is within easy reach of the great cement beds at Demopolis. The kind of sand mixed with the cement to make the blocks, can bc had ip great quantities within a short distance or the city.
 As the concern would ship a great deal oftheir product, the Alabama river which is naviaable from here the year round, figures as quite potent fac- tor in the selection of Selma.
