INCREASING DEMAND
FOR PORTLAND CEMENT
Thirty Million Barrels Used in 1905
as Against 100000 Fifteen
Years Ago.

One Of the striking features of indus
trial progress during recent years is the
development which has taken place in
the applications of Portland cement.

four-hfths being imported. In 1905 more
than 3O.OO000O barrels were used, nearly
all OF American manufacture.
The first victory won by the new ma
terial was its substitution for block
stone in masonry constructions Then
followed a multitude of lesser uses, such
as sewer pipe. tiles. fenceposts, curbs
and cutters. piles and ornamental archi-
tecturaI work of every description. Re
enforced with steel RODS, cement concrete
has come rapidly into use in the con-
struction of complete buildings and
bridges
And now Portland cement is invadms
the field OF dweIing-cons-ruct This
Is to some extent due TO the fact that
wood has so largely increased in price
thereby forcing builders to look for some
other material. The hollow concrete
building block. properly made and used,
forms an ideal material for. the exterior
walls of buildings, and this replaces the
part which, when built of wood, most
rapidlv deteriorates from exposure to
weather.
buildings constructed OF hollow cOn>
crete blocks are no higher in first cost
than those built of frame, and are far
less extensive in repairs. They have all
the advantages of stone and brick, cool
ness in summer and warmth in winter.
and in respect of beauty may at small
cost be made fully equal TO those of any
other material.
