Newspapers print near
ly every day the story Of
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss of human
lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by FIRE in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and FIRE
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in .fimty, non-freproof
building contraction. Experience has proved
that hreproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries 6reproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming more
and more common, due to its freproofness,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an Office
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of Uniyersal Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure eemenf of the
best quality possible to manufacture. Unfyer-
sal is handled everywhere by the best dealers.
