October, 1920. THE CONCRETE AGE [ 11
The Concrete Age And Its Promotion Work.
Every month, for fifteen years, The Concrete Age has been the sole missionary in the
South, preaching the gospel of concrete fireproof construction. It has printed thousands of
pages of text, and thousands of illustrations to d:ive home its arguments.
Every month, for fifteen years, The Concrete Age has likewise been relentless in advocat-
ing the building of concrete roads. It has devoted a vast amount of space and thousands of pic-
tures to this subject and today this work is bearing fruit in the assured building of the Dixie
Highway and other great road systems.
For fifteen years, The Concrete Age has had its leading articles copied by the big papers
of the South, where they reached millions of readers and in this way doubled its power and
influence in pleading for concrete fireproof buildings and concrete roads.
For fifteen years the paper has not only covered the fourteen Southern States, but the
Middle-West as well. It has been a power in its particular field and has contributed millions
worth of new business to those who seek trade f:om the concrete industry.
Mr. Advertiser, have you fully appreciated the ceaseless efforts and influence of this
paper? We are rendering missionary work which creates new business for your products
every month, and The Concrete Age deserves your patronage and support. Give us this, in
full measure, and enable us, through your help, to largely increase the practical influence the
paper is exerting in your behalf.
