 BUILDING BLOCK
GLOBE CEMENT & CONSTRUCTION
 COMPANY COMPLETES ITS NEW
 PLANT-BLoCKs MADE UNDER A PRESSURE OF 10000 POUNDS.

The Globe Cement & Construction company has finished romodeling the plant recently purchased at the foot of Cedar street and is now engaged in tho making of cement blocks for the filling of contracts made before the completion of the plant.
 The plant is frst.class in every re. spect, machinery in every step of the manufacture taking the place of hand methods, and the finished product being as near perfect as human invention can effect.
 "Thcse blocks are made under pres. sure of 10000 pounds" said Manager A. II. Kipbrough, as he showed Silver Belt representative through the plant yesterday morning, "and the fact that they are made by the latest methods and most perfected machinery is re. sponsible for the perfect uniformity and durability of the finished product. Tho sand comes from the bed of Piual creek, right here at our door, which is the fG- est possible for the purpose, and noth ing but the very best cement, in a ratio 1f one to five, is used This is a greater percentage of cement than is commonly used in the manufacture of cement blocks, After the blocks have been moided in the machine under an enor- nous pressure, they are loaded on specially constructed trucks and allowed to stand in the drying room for at least four days. Then they are stsked up in the yards and kept wet for seven days This keeping of the blocks wet is known as tho crys;allizing process, dur ing which the blocks become crystal lized to a great density. Then they arc ready for use
 But one of the greatests advantages of the blocks we are making is in the fact tha. they arc so constructed that wall built of them cannot possibly sweat, or carry moisture to the inner surfaces of the walls.
 The block made by the Globe Cement & Construction company is constituted in two parts-the inner and outer half and at no point in the wall is there direct horizontal connection across the wall. Consequently there can be no sweating on the inner wall, as is the case with solid or cross bonded blocks. There is absolutely no possibility of outside moisture penetrating to the in ner wall. A wall constructed of these patent blocks contains from 50 to 60 per cent hollow space, and in conse quence is an admirably well insulated wall for both hot and cold weather.
 "We are making an average of q thousand blocks per day, and when we have entirely finished the plant the ca, pacity will be greatly increased.
 On the cars in tho drying room and in the yards in the process of seasoning were many thousands of the great build. ing blocks, and Mr. Kimbrough said he was trying to accumulate good supply of stock 10 take care of tho great build. ing activity that is rapidly developing in Globe. He said that during tho next week he would begin making a supply of cement brick, which is also l an important part of the company B product.
 The orders at present filed for blocks will keep the plant busy for another week or ten days. An order for twenty thousand brick was filed this morning, and several parties contemplating build ing in the immediate future are figuring on using this material. The general preference is for hollow blocks.
 MT. Marlborough keeps the works at all times open for the inspection of in terested parties who wish to make com parison of their product with any and all others.
