W^hy build expensively ? 



The Cyclops way is the economical 

 way. Its efficiency is unquestioned. 



With Cyclops Ijlocks one can buikl a house from cellar to roof with raw materials 

 frequently found on the site. Cyclops blocks made on Cyclops machines have been 

 wsed for the building of houses, picture palaces, libraries, garages, silos, farm buildings 

 and many others. One Cyclops block is equal to I2| bricks. 



They are now being used for the construction of Railway Stations in Nigeria. Whether 

 Kiade with semi or complete cavity blocks, the building built the Cyclops way will be 

 e©ol in summer and dry in winter. The rich face down mixture concrete renders the 

 blocks impervious to moisture and obviates the use of waterproofing compounds or 

 rough cast work. Any man can learn how to operate Cyclops machines and to build with 

 the blocks by using the Cyclops patented mortar gauge. This enables an even quantity 

 «)f mortar to be placed on each block and ensures alignment, and enables unskilled men 

 r« build both in blocks or slabs after a week's tuition. Concrete work can be carried mit 

 >» frosty or inclement weather by the use of the Cyclops Patent Indurating Process. 

 Porous Drain Pipes quickly drain agricultural land. Moulds for same can be made up to 

 4 ft. 6 in. diameter. 



Felice Posts, Ikiilding P>locks, Slabs or any other form of Concrete made to order.

 But if 1 cwt. of 



NITRATE of SODA 



will give yoti an extra 44 btishels of 

 Wheat and 5 cwt. of Straw per acre, 

 it is worth yoar while to buy it.
