A MANUFACTURED but NOT an IMITATION STONE

BUILT ENTIRELY OF “ROMAN STONE”
ARTISTIC CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION
is made both simple and inexpensive by the use of our special concrete wall facing, which is made in light reinforced sections, all exposed surfaces being tooled and finished by hand, reproducing the exact appearance of natural stone.
These sections serve as a complete substitute for forms, and are provided with steel ties cast in the stone for bonding into the concrete backing.
Concrete Buildings constructed by this method have all the beauty of stone and the durability and strength of CONCRETE and cost no more than monolithic walls.
This fact has been demonstrated in many cases of actual construction.
