CONCRETE 



for building purposes is 

 cheaper than wood, costs 

 less than brick, and is bet- 

 ter than stone. . . . . 



The " Handy " is a standard con- 

 crete building- block machine as 

 much as a Remington typewriter 

 is a standard writer. Why? Be- 

 cause it is practically indestructi- 

 ble, simple, easy to operate, and 

 the fastest block-machine made. 

 Any-sized off-bearing plate (sim- 

 ply a board 2x8x24 inches) answers 

 lor any sized block. The cores are 

 removed through the bottom of 

 the block. It meets the require- 

 ments of contractor, manufactur- 

 er, or consumer. It is especially 

 adapted to work required to be 

 done at building site. It makes a 

 block any length up to 24 inches, 

 any width up to 8 inches, either 

 plain or rock face, and is especially 

 adapted to veneer work. Is a one, 

 two, three, or four man machine. 



Price complete, with carrying- 

 hooks, tampers, and all accessoiies 

 necessaiy in the manufacture of 

 blocks, $5l> Net. 



By April 5th we will have ready 

 for shipment our new adjustable 

 machine, which will make any 

 block up to 12 inches in width, 

 also L-shaped corner-block: being 

 three machines in one— 8, 10. and 

 12 inch. This we will be able to 

 sell for $100.00 net cash, f. o. b. at 

 Medina.
