Mr.. Page was experimenting a year ago
with the mixing of oil and water to form
Il dressing for macadam roads. No one
had ever proposed the direct mixing of
oil and portland cement. but the idea
occurred to Mr.. Page that if they could
be made to mix thoroughly an important
problem in road making and waterproof
building construction would be solved.
Experiments were started at once in
the bureau of public roads. Mr. Page

left 1t to set. In short time it had
hardened as we'll as ordinary concrete
does. Tests of the small block showed
it to he tough. durable and absolutely

Then the experimental work began
in earnest. Mr.. Pag" was confident
that if the new concrete showed the
strength and endurance Of ordinary
concrete it would work u revolution
