TESTS EVERY HOUR KEEP ALPHA STRONG
XII
IX The strength of Portland Cement depends upon the quality of the raw material, the formula and the care used in the making. It must be mixed right, ground right, and burned right, and then properly aged before shipment.
In the six great ALPHA plants, exactness is the first rule. Chemists test ALPHA every hour, day and night. They see that the mixtures are alike every time, meeting the ALPHA formula founded on 23 years' experience. They reject instantly all defective material ; they guard the strength and fineness of the product, and insure uniformity of setting time. This unusual watchfulness makes
ALPHA THE GUARANTEED PORTLAND
CEMENT
stronger, finer, and more uniform than cheaper Portland cements. With ALPHA, quality, not quantity, is the watchword. ALPHA is warranted to more than meet the United States Government's standard.
Because every ounce is pure, live and
active, the binding power of ALPHA is unusual; it goes further than cheaper cements and hence it is more economical.
You may be offered substitutes, but insist on ALPHA and be sure. Portland is the kind; ALPHA the name to remember.
112-Page Concrete Farm Book Sent FREE
Tells how to make scores of farm improvements with ALPHA, the Guaranteed Cement. Regular price 25 cents. Sent free if you mention this publication and tell us what you plan to build.
