Practically 90 per cent of
the 100000 barrels Of
portland cement shipped
last year was delivered in
returnable cotton sacks.
To supply users of cement
promptly, the industry must
have about 2OO,OOO,OOO
sacks either on hand or in
use.
The sack method of ship
ping is most convenient.
There are four sacks to a
barrel. Each sack contains
"a pounds of cement-a
cubic foot. And a cubic
foot is a handy volume in
proportioning concrete
mixtures.
When cement is shipped, thesacks
are billed TO the purchaser. When
they are returned, they are bought
back at the same price if they are
in disable or repairable condition.
This involves much work in
checking, cleaning, sorting and
repairing.
But in spite of the fact that every
good cement sack is redeemable,
100000 of the sacks shipped
everyyear fail TO come back-al loss
of nearly S5,00o,o0o a year at
present prices OF new sacks.
To replace these ''lost, strayed or
stolen" sacks requires annually
over 10000 bales of cotton. Il re-
quires that the textile industry
weave a strip of cloth 30 inches
wide and 1900 miles long. 1t
means that 1000 looms are kept
working full time for year.
Thousands of sacks returned to
the cement mills for redemption
are damaged, yet accepted for
credit, if they can be repaired.
This repair is done by the cement
manufacturer at his own expense.
A medium sized plant shipping,
say / 100000 barrels Of cement
year, has to repair an average of
5000 sacks per day from among
those returned for credit. This
keeps 6 people ccnstantlyworking
at rapidly operated electric sew
ing machines. In million barrel
year plant, d people are con-
stantly employed sorting, counting,
repairing and otherwise caring for
returned sacks so that they may
again be used.
At the present time $30,0Oo,o0o
would be a conservative estimate
of the investment which the ce-
ment industry has in cottonsacks.
Sacks are one of the lesser, but
nevertheless important items in
the cement industry.
