All of the above machinery will be
specially selected for the plant by the
Cowham Engineering Company, of
Jackson, Mich, who have associated
with 1t a staff of the most practical
cement and lime engineers in this
country, who have designed Qncluding
the machinery ITSELF and superintend-
ed the construction of many of the
most modern and successful cement
mills in North America. The Cow
ham System of Portland cement mills
is the strongest combination in the
United States, consisting of Southern
States Plant, Western States Plant,
National Plant, International Plant,
Peninsular Plant, Northwestern Plant;
and they are now building a $1,000
900 plant at Dallas, Texas. The men
who are identified with it in the ce-
ment and lime business are recognized
leaders in their manufacture.
Under these circumstances there is
no guesswork, no experimenting, and
the most economical and perfect sys-
tenn of manufacture is assured; hence
the best product.
1t is a notable fact that the remark
able growth and healty condition of
the Portland Cement industry have
afforded great inducement to ineXperi-
enced engineers and promoters to en-
gage in the business, who Of necessity
must obtain their experience slowly,
and possibly at the expense of inves-
tors. 1t is we'll known to cement ma
nufacturers that million of dollars
have been spent in Europe and Anne
RIGA in learning and experimenting in
the economical manufacture of high
grade cement; that in many of the fac
tories now existing, large amounts of
moment have been spent in processes
and equipments which prove useless,
and that there is great danger of pos
sibly misguided judgment founded up
on lack of experience and knowledge
in connection with construction and
equipment of cement mills.
| view of the foregoing, surely it is
d satisfaction to know that this COM
pany, as previously stated, has asso-
ciated itself with the Cowham En-
cheering Company, who have a staff OF
engineers who are pioneers in cement
manufacture and VINO are principals in
designing cement mills, and to whom
the world is largely indebted for the
standard of perfection reached in the
manufacture of high-grade Portland
cement, their last browning effort be-
ing the magnificent plant of the West
ern States Portland Cement Company
Independence, Kansas which is ack-
nowledged by experts, both in Europe
and America, to be the most modern
and best equipped Portland cement
Hawaiian Islands Portland Cement
Lime Company are assured by this en-
cheering company, which will be mo-
dern in every respect and second to
none for its capacity.
