 The Birmingham Slag company en- phasizes the fact that its "Ensley Basic Slag" is scientifically prepared prod uct; that it is poured under the com pany's direction into modified pits, is crushed, screened and sized in modern, electrically operated plant. Pouring slag into modified pits, the company points out, enables them to definitely control thickness of the strata of slag and to prolong the cooling and anneai- ing process.
 "When slag is poured in thick strata. it breaks up in much more cubical pieces when excavated by powerful cleo tric shovels and run through big gyra- tory crushers," company's engineers ex- plain.
 Both the Phoenix Portland and the Lehigh companies used basic slag in construction of their concrete roads leading from the public road to their plants in Birmingham.

 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road company has used hundreds of thousands of tons of basic slag exclu- sively in its reinforced concrete, as well as mass concrete, and on all of it's properties in the district for number of years, including the new plant at Fairfield.

Pyramid Slag And Ready Mixed Concrete In
 Big Demand

The Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company are contributing in q widely diversified way towards the upbuilding of the nation, especially the south.
 This large Birmingham corporation not only plays q conspicuous role in supplying high grade steel and iron to the industries of the country, but now have two additional enterprises of mag nitude have been launched.
 These enterprises are Central con- crete mixing plant and the famous Sloss Pyramid slag. + - For some years the Sloss Pyramid slag has been supplying the needs of many contractors engaged in road con- struction and building of permanent structures for business and residential purposes. In addition, this slag has been purchased in thousands and. thous- ands of tons by the various railroads. Demand for Sloss Pyramid slag has been so constant and in such large quan- titles that, as surprising as it may seem to many, there have been times when the stock of Sloss Pyramid slag has been depleted. :5st F
 With so many furnaces operating in the Birmingham district it would seem at least to the initiated that the sup ply would be inexhaustible, especially in view of the fact that slag, not many years ago, was burden to the ope- coarse aggregate to any and all who would haul it away from its noun tainous dumps.
 So much has been written about slag, its origin and it's usefulness to the world today it is unnecessary to say more about other than to remind the readers who may not know that slag is not always plentiful, even in the Bir- mingham district. Concrete Mixing Plant
 Recently the Sheffield Steel and Iron company erected its Central con- crete mixing plant on its property at First avenue and Thirty-second street. It is the first plant of it's kind in the Birmingham district. Already the ready mixed concrete is being supplied in large quantities for construction work. The biggest contract at present is for ready mixed concrete now being used in the paving of First avenue.
 Recently Superintendent J. B. Donel- son of the Central concrete mixing plant sent out to the building contrac- tors and others a very interesting and detailed announcement of the new Bir- mingham industry. The letter explains the operation and use of ready mixed concrete as follows:
 "We have installed plant for ready mixed concrete with capacity of 600 cubic yards of ready mixed concrete each day, assuring you a carefully and scientifically mixed concrete. You will find that concrete mixed in a large mixer and mixed without too much water will give from 15 per cent to 20 per cent more strength than concrete mixed in a small mixer using a wet mix.
 Few Plants In Country
 "There are about 110 commercial ready mixed concrete plants, many of them having been in operation for more than seven years, scattered throughout l the north and east. There are similar plants to this located at Washington,

Birmingham's Famous Product Makes Envia-
 ble Record in South

The Birmingham Slag company is playing a conspicuous part in construc- tion work throughout the south. Head quarters are in Birmingham. with branch offices in Atlanta and Thomas vile, Ga.
 According to company's statistics, more than 100000 tons of the Bir- mingham Slag company's Basic slag were used during 1923. This great ton mage was sold for construction of roads, pavements. bridges, buildings and rail- road ballast. One may, therefore, ap- preciate all the more the importance of slag as a coarse aggregate in present. day construction when it is realized that only 12 years ago slag was waste product Today it ranks as one of the south's most dependable building products.
 The Birmingham Slag company's s product was used in 50 of the most i'm portant concrete structures erected in Atlanta, including concrete used in the building of the $6,000,0O0 Atlanta-Bilt- more hotel. Up to two years ago the Birmingham Slag company claimed it supplied S5 per cent of all coarse-ag gregate used in Atlanta.
 Birmingham, in particular. had to ''be shown" before accepting slag as a coarse aggregate in lending strength to all forms of modern concrete construc- tion. In 1916 the Birmingham Ice and Cold Storage company let contract for three-story addition. When it became known that slag was to be em- ployed as coarse aggregate building work was almost stopped through fear that slag as substitute for gravel would not supply the required strength. In 1916 and 1917 other buildings using basic slag were the News and the War rant Warehouse company. Building was interrupted in Birmingham in 1918 pany supplied slag for the x. 0. Ne!- son Manufacturing company's two story building; the Batterton Coffee companys three-story building; the four-story Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company general hospital, and the Swift Packing company building.
 Put In Many Buildings
 In 1920 the Birmingham Slag com pany's product was used in the build ing of the Cruse- Crawford automobile show rooms on South Twenty second street, and in the building of the Pres ton Motors corporation plant on the Mount Pinson road, near Vanderbilt furnace.
 During 1921-22 basic slag went into the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank building, Jemison & Co.,, the foun- dation for the John Herbert Phillips High school, the Woodlawn High school and the Central Fire station. In 1922 23 the company supplied it's slag for the Birmingham Masonic temple, Wy lam school, Silver's 10-Cent store, Buff falo Rock building, Pizitz department store and Independent Presbyterian church. This years contracts included Herman Sax & Sons four-story build- ing: the Continental Gin company plant, consisting of a foundry build ing 150x400 feet and machine shop 150x30O.
 Of particular interest to all is the fact that Birmingham is erecting its first monolithic concrete job. It is the three-story basement and warehouse of

bricklayer of Leeds, first discoverdl the process of making an artificial cement from q mixture which consisted principally of lime and clay, he named it Portland Cement" because of the close resen:blance@ to the famed Port land stone. The new artificial stone re- sembled the national quarried product not only in color, but in hardness as well ; it was found to be just as strong for building purposes.
 On October q, 1924, Aspdin was given patent on his invention of An improvement in the modes of producing artificial stone."
 This new artificial stone had a great advantage over the stone of the Port land quarries--wherever there were limestones had the same firmness of texture as the Portland stone, which was only Il very closely compacted limestone.
 And today, because of ,Aspdin's in- vention, the entire world has at its disposal building material as sub stantial and as desirable in appearance as once belonged to Britain alone by virtue of the stone quarries of Portland.

PORTLAND CEMENT
 NAMED FOR STONE

On the little Isle of Portland, in the English Channel, are situated some fifty stone quarries, famed for con turies as the sources of the material for ths old cathedrals and churches of England.
 Many of structures which have be- come famous, and which come to mind immediately when one thinks of Eng land. were built of Portland stone. St. Pauls cathedral, finished about 17OO Eddystone Lighthouses, Goldsmith hall and the west towers of Vest minister Abbey--all these were built of Portland stone.
 The gray Portland stone, however, was destined to give its name to a building material that was to become even more famous, material that was to be used for churches and cathedrals and great skyscrapers the world over Portland cement, without which we should not have the concrete of today.

lar es una verdad y esta basada en- un

que no Sc me ha dado cuenta Official
de mi nombramiento? Y 81 fu6 un oil
