as predominating feature, it stands
unchallenged in all the field of building
material. The strongest testimonials
come unsolicited from our great cities
as to its being absolutely fire proof.
Climatic conditions affect it not, frost
has never been known to penetrate this
material, new to this country, but in
general use among the Egyptians more
than 1000 years ago.
Wisconsin is fast forging TO the front
as state endorsing and adopting this
material for the erection of buildings,
the making of posts, poles, ties and
many other things hitherto made OF
wood. Handsome residences, large
public buildings, now adorn many of
our principal cities, and furnish con-
elusive evidence of the trend of public
sentiment in this direction. One of the
most striking illustrations is found in
Milwaukee, where one of the largest
buildings in the West, if not the largest,
was erected the past season, involving
u COSb III kOuuu Va VOL WV.
This is the new cattle barn on the
Wisconsin state fair grounds, and is
2S0x30O feet in size. Through the
courtesy of the Western Builder, We
are able to show herewith cut of this
great structure which attracted almost
as much attention, and elected as favor
able comment as any other exhibition
seen on the ground last September. In
addition to this barn, there were also
erected on the same grounds, smaller
educational building and small hospi-
tai, as well as dining room that is 200
feet long.
The State Board of Agriculture had
originally planned to build the build
ings of brick. but after observing the
trend towards cement blocks, and
making q careful examination of the
merits of the same, decided to use the
latter material, conclusion which mas
resulted in much satisfaction to the
board, since the completion and use OF
the buildings. The cost was practically
the same as it would have been had
brick been used. This is only one OF
the many illustrations which might be
cited, where in the leading cities OF the
state the products of the cement indus
try have been utilized in the erection OF
costly homes and valuable public build
ings.
Wausau is not behind other cities o1
the state in this respect. The beautiful
structure of the First Methodist Episco
pal church, the large car barns of the
Wausau Street Railroad Co.. the splen'
did home of Alderman Frank A
Hecker, and numerous other building
of somewhat smaller type, but nom
the less attractive, are all indicative o
the hold this material is taking upol
the local public.
But the interest the city has in thi
material is not confined alone to tn

The recent holding of what was
termed "a Cement Exposition" at the
Coliseum in the city of Chicago. was
attended by such degree of success as
not only to warrant its yearly continu-
ance, but awakened an interest in an
industry, whose development though of
recent years, has been sufficiently rapid
and successful to give it place in the
front ranks of desirable building mater
ial. That it is destined to largely re-
place lumber on account of the high
prices incident to the constantly dimin-
ishing supply of timber, is generally
conceded by those who have carefully
watched its adoption, and noted with
growing favor the satisfaction which
has been a direct resultant of its use.
The manufacture OF cement blocks

sized by their having been utilized for
the erection of costly residences and
public buildings in all parts of the
county, and where the question of
economy was no important factor in
their construction, or in the cost of
material. In this respect the limit OF
expansion seems to have been removed
from the industry, while the expert
mental stage has been permanently
divorced from the forward march of
this aggressive movement.
The tests which have been applied to
this material after having been put into
walls, could have no other result than
that of admiration and unqualified en-
dorsement. Where strength is sought
