Ol' Faithful
If there were a better method of placing concrete... We'd build it.
We're open minded about change. But not all change is progress. So until we're convinced that on jobs applicable to a power buggy you would be able to place concrete faster, better and cheaper using a different method... we'll continue to fill your orders for ol' faithful. The M-15B powered buggy by Prime Mover.. built to put you ahead of the pack in the race against rising construction costs.

Fondreist Heads Up New Research Institute
The Portland Cement Association's research and development capabilities will be available on a contract basis to all segments of the construction industry under a plan announced recently by Dr. Harry N. Huntzicker, PCA president.
Dr. Huntzicker said that a new division, the Cement and Concrete Research Institute, will serve as the contracting agency for Association work in behalf of clients requiring services in research and development, laboratory investigations, and technical consultation.
Executive director of the Institute will be F. Frederick Fondriest, an attorney and graduate civil engineer who for 10 years has been with Battelle Memorial Institute where he was responsible for all research programs related to inorganic construction materials and structures.
"Formation of the Institute will make possible a greatly expanded research and development program to serve the construction industry." Dr. Huntzicker said. "It will permit us to open up what we believe to be the world's finest research facility for cement and concrete to all segments of the industry."
