MCAA Member Handles School Job

Here's a view of the Pale Verda high school plant under construction in Tucson, Arizona. Guy Apple, Masonry, Inc., MCAA member, was successful bidder for the project which entailed placing of almost 3½ million bricks. Gordon Luepke, A.I.A. architect, indicated that the insulation from the brick walls is a distinct advantage in the arid region of Arizona, resulting in lower heating and air conditioning costs. The 13" wall also allows for use of the core for mechanical equipment lanes, conduit. It's another example of masonry on the move.


AS SCIENCE SEES WOMAN

Walter Wiesman, noted author on guided missiles, was hardly a man we'd expect to break up a science with a witty commentary on women, but he did just that at a recent talk before a management club.

Mr. Wiesman offered this logical analysis of the creature woman:

Symbol: Wo

Accepted Atomic Weight: Not known.

Physical Properties: Boils at nothing and freezes at any minute. Melts when properly treated, very bitter if not well used.

Occurrence: Found wherever man exists.

Chemical Properties: Possesses a great affinity for gold, silver, platinum and other precious stones. Absorbs large amounts of food matter. May explode spontaneously if left alone, able to absorb large amounts of food matter. Turns green when placed beside a better looking specimen.

Uses: Highly ornamental, useful as a tonic in acceleration of low spirits and an equalizer of wealth. Probably most effective income reducing agent known.

Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands!


Your laborers can move loads like this with a PRIME-MOVER MASON TENDER

Here is a basic handling device for mason contractors that handles either packaged brick or palletized brick also stone, block, tile and mortar. A two-section mast raises the load 7' 6" (8' 6" optional). It retracts to clear the doorways, and is easy to engage, carry, and discharge loads. This mast is made to traditionally high Prime-Mover standards for long, trouble-free, profitable performance.

View of Prime-Mover L-812 on the job. Handles either packaged or palletized brick. Operated by dependable 7 h.p. Wisconsin engine. A heavy duty trans-axle drive powers the front load wheels. Rear wheels are direct steered by a combination steering and clutch control.

Ask your dealer to show you how easily your hod carriers or laborers can operate this new Model L-812 mason tender. You can use this machine on all of your jobs to cut costs of handling all sizes and shapes of masonry materials.
