consider the revision of the tariff.
Notwithstanding that the se,tlil. OF

SPREAD OF CONCRETE BLOCK
CONSTRUCTION.

Cement Age.
Go where you like-east. west. north
or south, everywhere-you will find
evidences that concrete blocks have
come to stay. You will find founda.
tions. houses. schools, churches. pub.
lie buildings, factories, and even com.
plete manufacturing plants construct
ed with cement blocks. Good concrete
blocks are now being sold at n f1g.
ure where they compete with common
brick, and where pressed brick or cut
stone was formerly used, concrete
blocks have now an ever enlarglng
held. This is but as il should be. for
there is no virtue In any other build
ing material not possessed by cement
blocks, to which may be added the
fact that they can be produced in as
high a grade as any other material
from an architectural and structural
point OF view. at cost lower than
any other building material except
Lumber. Lumber is becoming scarcer
and more expensive. and AZ n conse.
quence. people everywhere are looking
for another building material. and
right here the concrete block steps
In and claims its own. Its plastic
character makes It possible to produce
1t in any desirable design. Its re-
markable resistance to fire has been
thoroughly attested. and In few more
years we will see concrete blocks used
as commonly as brick is now. and that
means that blocks will be used In the
construction of the great majority OF
