Excerpt from Concrete on the Farm and in the Shop: A Complete Practical Treatise on the Commonest Every-Day Uses of ConcreteWithin recent years there has been increas ing attention given to the use of concrete as a building material. Nowhere has this interest been relatively greater than on the farm. The appeal of concrete is due largely to the fact that care and faithful observance of fundamental principles enable a large portion of the actual labor to be performed by those who are relatively unskilled. The increasing cost of lumber has made concrete not only a formidable competitor but successful rival. Not only is this true but those who have once used concrete have come to a realization that in the concrete structure expensive upkeep is eliminated. There is no longer the continual an nual outlay for repairing, painting, straightening up, and rebuilding or patching the work to put it into condition equal to new, or to maintain it in serviceable condition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
