How to us« it

The concrete way is the saving way to build 
these days. Concrete can’t rot, rust or burn. 
It requires no painting, no replacing. Water 
and age merely increase its strength. Yet the 
cost is not unreasonably, more than that of 
temporary construction. 
Concrete buildings add their full cost to the 
value of the property on which they are put. 
They stamp a place as being up to date. 
There is no patented or complicated process 
involved. Just use good sand, good stone or 
pebbles and

mixed well with water (for some types of building re¬ 
inforcing is also required). 
A 96-page handbook—ALPHA CEMENT—HOW 
TO USE IT—which has been compiled at considerable 
expense, tells you just what you need to know about con¬ 
crete improvements and how to make them. It shows 
how to make forms, how to mix concrete properly, the 
proportions for different types of work, how to calculate 
quantities, how to waterproof, how to apply stucco, etc. 
The ALPHA SERVICE SHEETS and Special Bulle¬ 
tins give details of construction on the subjects listed 
below. Any ALPHA dealer will be glad to supply you 
with this special information, together with a copy of 
the ALPHA handbook. If you don’t know a nearby 
ALPHA dealer, address Alpha Portland Cement Co., 
Easton, Pa., mentioning The Rural New-Yorker and 
the buildings or improvements that interest you.
