• ' [ADVKBHBXMZST.] ; , CONCRETE. v TO BUILDERS AND THE PUBLIC. ; Week we opened a yard here, for the sale of WilionJ Hydraulic Lime, in 1878, we found it : absolutely necessary to undertake Concrete works of all WnrK to demonstrate'tbat 'Concrete was a Valuable and material/ahd to prove. that Wilson's Hydraulic Lime was a reliable Substitute for Portland Cement, as we anticipated. The building trade, u a body, strongly objected to the use of Concrete and to oar undertaking the work,' the causa they said, the producers of an article which they hope to sell to any tradesman, should not compete with those willing to use their materials.' Our reply to is, that Concrete was almost nn« - — known here six years ago, &nd when alternative prices — for Concrete, brick or wood, : that few gave a price for Concrete, and those few asked absurd prices. Seeing 1 this, and knowing our Lime'was well adapted for such works, we decided to tender (previously all our works had been taken privately), with the object of pushing Concrete, and ofter constructing a few boUdings, wa again gave up public tendering, hoping the trads would take it up; but, finding the opposition to concrete as stone as ever, we again decided to take the field, not only 10 show the value, of concrete, but to proye that buildings could'be erected in a reasonable time, v..*.""" ; , . Doiing-the last six months Concrete,has mada pert strides, and the number of offers received when tender* are.caUed for proves .that builders lure satisfied Uist Concrete is a'success, and' therefore worth their attestion,i .. _• / r - r . . . •••'-- ;This is, exactly what we, wanted to see., 'Wantf* feel Gist* we'cangireup thai; branch-without fesref ; it being stopped in its onward marcK ;;and we beg to notify that .we now retire ironi- Concrete- work « all Idnas,- either public or private, and that we confine ourselves to supplying the'trade and tw public with all kinds of building material, such" Lime, Cement, Sand, Bricks, Pipes, etc., and to J"* ing information to any one using our Lime.
