LEXINGTON TO HAVE AN ARTIFIC
IAL STONE PLANT. :.

There is a strong probability that
Lexington will in the near future
have large plant established here
for the purpose of manufacturing
artificial stone, which is said to be,
by all competent architects, the best
building material on the market at
any price.
The most desirable wall for a build
ing is that one which is a NON-CON-
DUCTOR of heat, cold, moisture or
sound. In this respect HOLLOW
CONCRETE BLOCKS have no equal,
No material in the world has
reached as rapid development as
has Concrete, and its development
is due entirely to its own merits.
No building material ever before
afforded such combination of ad-
vantage. 1t is universal in it's apph-
cation, cheaper and more durable
than brick, iron or stone. nature has
stamped upon it permanently, econo-
my and protection.
The pools of King Solomon, nine
miles from Jerusalem, we're built en-
tirely of concrete and they still fur
nish water to Jerusalem.
The, lookout towers of Ireland,
supposed to have been built by the
Phenician and Egyptian ancestors,
are built of concrete, six feet in d.
ameter and one hundred high, and
harder than granite or any natural
stone. The Pantheon of Rome, the
oldest perfect building in existence,
is of concrete as old as the Christian
era. The Aurelian wall about Rome
is of concrete and is over ten miles in
length.
Concrete construction is the oldest
as we'll as the newest product of
mans skill and art. The durability
of it is marvellous as it grows harder
and better with age.
The machinery for the manufacture
of this product is on the way here
and within few weeks at the long.
est it will be demonstrated whether
or not the finished product can be
produced at sufficiently low cost tC
justify establishment of the plant. II
so, then Mr.. Jas. H. Fuqua, of this
place, will take the matter up, push ii
to a head, and endavor to have some
handsome new buildings put up in our
city.
