At the third annual convention of the 
National Association of Cement Users, 
to be held in Chicago, January 7th to 
I2th, 1907, the Ideal Concrete Machinery 
Company, of South Bend, Ind., will 
have an interesting exhibit of their 
Ideal Concrete Block Machine. During 
the past year they have perfected a com- 
plete brick machine which can be used 
as an attachment to the block machine. 
Their nevt Model “E” Interchangeable 
block machine, fence post molds, and 
their Ideal Concrete Mixer will be in- 
teresting features of the exhibit. This 
firm recently received what is said to 
be the largest individual order for con- 
crete machines in the world, amounting 
to about $250,000. On account of the 
rapid growth of the business of this 
firm they have found it necessary to 
vacate their present factory building, 
and have leased the plant formerly oc- 
cupied by the Bissel Plow Company, 
which will give them three times their 
present floor space.

“The essence of all plant 
Ifrowth is li^ht; the more 
light, the quicker and more 
abundant the plant growth.” 
For years greenhouse 
builders have been striv- 
ing for lighter houses, 
realizing that all other 
things being equal, the 
house admitting the 
greatest amount of light, 
gave correspondingly 
greater returns, whether 
it be of flowers, fruits or 
vegetables. 
Just because U - Bar 
Greenhouses a. re the 
lightest houses built— 
they grow more plants 
with less attention than 
any other houses— not 
only the lightest but most 
enduring.
