form of construction allows such a free range for the 

 carrying-out of the architect's or owner's artistic con- 

 ceptions. Wonderful combinations and arrangements 

 are not only possible but easily made. 



THE GREAT SECRET in the making of blocks lies in 

 the ability of the one who constructs the block-mak- 

 ing machines. The machine must make a perfect 

 block. It must be strong enough to allow severe 

 tamping of the material, and it must be so arranged 

 that the removal of the block can be quickly and eas- 

 ily accomplished without risk of breaking. 



We have experimented and devoted all our ener- 

 gies to manufacture a machine which shall include 

 every desirable feature which our building experience 

 has shown us a machine should include, and we believe 

 that we have satisfied every conceivable need. 



SINCE THE SALE OF OUR FIRST IVI\CHINE we have 

 many times received very cordial letters from users. 

 The universal opinion is that we have reaUzed every 

 needed feature.

THE PRICE at which this BEAUTIFUL 

 and SUBSTANTIAL material can be pro- 

 duced, of course depends entirely on 

 these two items: Cost of Portland 

 cement, sand, and gravel or crushed 

 stone. These are the only elements 

 that enter the composition. There is 

 no secret process in connection with 

 their manufacture. With the instruc- 

 tions we send with our machines any 

 one can, in a few minutes, learn to ^'^ 



make a perfect block 



Space does not permit us to go into 

 detail concerning our different machines; but to any one who is interested we shall 

 be pleased to mail our new descriptive circular and price list. We have outfits rang- 

 ing in price and product to suit one who may want to build a few blocks for his own 

 use to those suitable for a contractor or one who may want to establish a factory.
