PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
The superintendent of a large Chi- 
cago cemetery who is using concrete 
for various purposes, states that power 
concrete mixers insure a saring in 
labor of over 60 per cent. In view 
of the large amount of concrete used 
at parks and cemeteries, this state- 
ment should prompt a thorough inves- 
tigation of the subject. The only de- 
vice of this kind that has been adver- 
.tised in P.vrk and Cemetery is the Sys- 
tematic Concrete Mixer, made by the 
Concrete Machinery Co., Jackson, 
Mich. The mixer was adopted by the 
VVoodmere Cemetery, Detroit, Mich., 
after a careful investigation of many 
styles. It is said to have a number 
of practical advantages over other 
makes, not the least important of 
which is its rapid and economical serv- 
ice, accuracy of feed with any mate- 
rial, and durability. This company man- 
ufactures a very complete line of con- 
crete machinery especially adapted for 
sidewalk, street, park and boulevard 
w'ork, and has the endorsement of sev- 
eral city governments and leading con- 
tractors who have adopted their ma- 
chiner}-. 
Grass edgers or trimmers play an 
important part in the well-kept park 
or cemetery. They are used for cut- 
ting the grass around trees, shrubbery, 
monuments, etc., where the ordinary 
lawn mower cannot be used to advan- 
tage. The Pennsylvania Ball Bearing
