Have you 
investigated the 
concrete block as 
Co. crete is a wonderfully plastic 
medium of architectural expression 
By nature this material is admirably suited to building. No matter what you hav< in mind, a $5,000 home 
in the suburbs or a $30,000 country house, concrete offers you today more for the same cost than any other 
building material. 
Its almost limitless possibilities 
Perfection has been reached in the production of a hollow concrete block which is a perfect substitute 
for brick, stone and other forms of construction. The styles evolved are stately, substantial, and always 
artistic. The form of block face is one of taste alone. The most commonly used are smooth face, bevel edge 
corrugated or ribbed, pitch or rock face and special designs of ornamental faces. Concrete has a place of its 
own in building construction and is capable vf such artistic finish as to rest upon the merits of its own beauty.
