WHEN PLANNING IMPROVEMENTS 
Why not Consider the Merits of Concrete for Your Particular 
Requirements? 
[ts uses are many and varied; from the smallest walk or doorstep to the 
largest industrial plant. A Concrete Structure, properly built, is water 
and fire-proof, and REQUIRES NO OUTLAY FOR REPAIRS; as is in- 
variably the case with other materials of construction. 
WE SPECIALIZE IN CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION 
and therefore are able to supply the practical knowledge which is so essen- 
tial to this class of work. Your inquiries are invited.
