NAME OF
new TOWN

The new Portland cement factory
being built by the e. $. Portland
Cement company, seven miles east
of Florence, has been put on the
map rs fiourishing little town. and
will hereafter be known as concrete.
This name is selected because it at
once calls to mind the chief producer
of Portland cement.
The town will come into promi-
nence at once by reason of, its being
situated in the heart of one of the
greatest Portland cement deposits in
the world. 1t is from the samo de-
potsit that the famous Ideal Portland
cement has been manufactured for the
past eight years, Already Il number
of families Mt Concrete aud large
force of mechanics and laborers have
been busy for several months CON
structing the preliminary buildings.
Water system. railroad tracks, and
excavations for the foundations. All
the work is now practically complete

large force, putting in the cement
foundations foi the mill, buildings
and machinery The factory build
ings, proper will be four in number
and be sufficiently long and width
ranging from 10 to 60 feet in height
They will be constructed of reinforc-
ed concrete and sieel throughout
They will not contain stick of lum-
Der which wi IL in any way detract
from the absolute fire proof character
of the plant.
The machinery for the factory has
been selected with the utmost care
by experienced engineers and only
those types which have proven sue
cessful in the Portland cement In
dustry has been selected for this
plant. Electrically driven through
out, and so arranged that each depart
ment can be run independently Of the
other, thus preventing shutting down
when repairs are being made in some
particular department.
The buildings are being erected
large enough to allow the company
to double the output by simply add
ing the necessary grinding and burn
ing machinery. The storage bins,
elevators and conveyors are being put
in to at ommodate twice the present
capacity of the factory so that it will
not be necessary to re-arrange the
plant in any particular IN order to
double the output one hundred per
cent. The town and factory are
