Read the comments of W. E. O’Neil Construction Company
We are glad to report that we are highly pleased with the results obtained with the new waterproof Carney Cement on the Lane Technical High School job. Our expectations were exceeded in every respect. The mortar works very smoothly under the trowel, mixed
with three parts sand and sets rapidly and strongly in
the wall, which is noticeably free from efflorescence. The light gray natural color also gives a pleasing contrast with the variegated red face brick.
We have checked our mortar costs on this project and find that they are quite satisfactory, both as regards yardage and labor of preparation and use. We are mixing the Carney Cement without preliminary aging or soaking, with two 1/4 yard concrete mixers, at each of which two men are easily keeping 100 bricklayers supplied with mortar.
As this job involves approximately ten million brick and tile, several mortar materials were carefully investigated and tested before placing the contract. The results emphatically justify the selection of Carney Cement for this the largest school building in the world under one roof.
