started with a small crew of men
and a few horse-drawn wagons, but
as the type of work demanded more
speed in completion of public work,
a larger crew of men and trucks
were added to carry out contracts
awarded the company.
Although public contracts have
been carried out by the firm, yet
much of the work of the firm in the
past months has been private con-
tracts in cement work of all kinds.
"Thoroughness is all work" has
been a firm principle of the com.

rigidly followed in all of it's work
This policy has enabled the firm to
rank among the best in the city.
