Not illustrated. 1913 Excerpt: ...output of 1,400,000 bbls. of "Universal" Portland cement per annum. The plant will be electrically operated throughout, requiring about 5,000 h. p. Edward M. Hagar, pres., states that work will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and it is expected that the plant will be in operation in 1914. With its present plants at Chicago and Pittsburgh, this will give the company a total output of 45,000 bbls. a day, or 13,500,000 bbls. a year. The shipments of "Universal" Portland cement in 1912--10,047,499 bbls.--exceeded those of any cement company in the world.

Concrete construction is by far the cheapest permanent construction, even on a basis of first cost with no consideration of the avoidance of heavy repair and maintenance charges which its use makes possible, and in many favored localities and under competent supervision, concrete construction will give even the flimsy construction a close contest on the shortsighted, first cost basis. But, why, why should it be expected to do this? Concrete is best at the highest cost, but it is possible to have it even at very near the lowest cost.
