[ADVERTISEMENT.] WILSON'S HYDRA ULIC LIME.

1 Why Concrete has found but Jittla favour a w;th many is because it] is assumed to be an i antrud material, whieh ago may deteriorate • t bnt-tws is an sssutnption that will not bear . reflection, for, w nether formed with Lime or . Cement, Concrete isreaijy a random rubble- [ wail of Cement or Lime mortar, as the case : may be, ond in the construction of which the > materials are blended together and inter- . locked one witii aoother in a way th;it could . nos possibly be attniuert by the ordiuary [ method, ot iorining that eass of work, and with the additional advantage that the eemontnious ingr diont n.ust, for obv-ious i reasons, hi of tue best and purest descriptiou. With rtgaid to Conurete being a modern invention, history repeats itself in thi3 as ia mo>t other things, for the Greeks and Koinans undoubtedly used it, and it exihta now in thy foundations of many of their ancieuE buildiogs. As, howevur, Portland Cement was unknown sixty 3'earj since, all the ancient Concretes h: d L ma for a cemeatitious constituent ; but tlie excailenc qnaiity of the same, the regularity ai.d evenness with wtiieh ail the maltjii.ils v.ere incorpor;ittd, aiid the' app-.reiit kuuivlcdgo appiied iu the selection of the comp<>iH-n!; parts, resulted in tuo (jonsircotio'.i ot buildings equal to or superio.: iu st eJgth ."aad durability to any of modern erection. j./We were the firit in Ifew Zealand to risk our capital in erecting machinery (which we did four years to grind this Lime "and to ■ make any systematic attempt to introduce Cor.cr«ce generally. Before doing so, wesatistie.l ourselves, by actual experiment, that the materials were right. \Ve bavo had to copi with t> e Jcarmincd t pposition of t!u Uuveranunt, .tud List, but nos least, Mit!- pr.-ju.nce in at; its forms; but our material is g-jod. We liave an incxhaust.ibie supply, and knrw rhat we are right, aud right will tnui:.ph. We have now litteen ki us (st.irt'd ir'itli t«o), acd recently nave had to enlarge and lenew i.eariy the whule of our maoijiuoti, aud'cin suuply luige qaa.titi s of a wt.l-ground, uniform, jiiiit'fi.bh ars.cle. We have ti\cteil nine Couci-ite buildings. One or them—Mr. J. C. Filth's granary, foot of Albert-street—we, beiieve is the large-t in the co.oay. After tnis experience, we have no ht-sitilion in adhering to our lormer ata'.emi-nt, that a wtll-fioislud Concrete buiMi-. g will uot cost more than 10 par cei t. over the same 'in timber.- ' Kirm-rs wou»d also find it very suitable for building Concrete diiiios, out-buildings, &c., ' or Liyiuj; Concivtu cow-ahejs, stock-yards, d-iiy, barn, piggery, or .»ny flooi* leqiund on a faiin Uraii.s may be formed in the Cjuci , te, without any additional ex ':■' penss, and cuiiuecterl v.lib the tanks, ■'■ thereby s.iving the I quid aianuie and preventing auy oilen-ive b'uyll. On receipt of 'lette- deiciibn g the niat-ri il avai'able, foi Conetete, dimeiiaioria of 'bi.ildings, , floors, &c, and puipas. s the> a.e to s-:rve, we will forward ehv.nUr explaining treatment ol Lime, and state what thickaess the-walls or floor shbtiU be aud qc.«nti:y of Lime required t> complete thi wtik, and oh per-' tonal .tppliu-.ttou will explain framing for. buildings, tiuks, &e. In distrijts were ueiLlier gravel bor ash can ,be got, rich ciay may be burned, and nukes a good acgregate—tggregate minus aay mitorial used to mix witti Ijimo or Ceircnt to form the body of the Concrete. •.- ' ,
