ESSICK
The Mixer You'll Never Have to Grease!
Routine, daily maintenance costs money. It costs in labor. It costs in lost productivity. And, if you forget to do it, it can cost you a machine. Which is why we build the Model 120 Plaster and Mortar Mixer so you don't have to worry about forgetting. In fact, except for normal engine fuel and oil, you don't have to worry about daily maintenance at all!
The Model 120 is equipped with a self-adjusting, spring-loaded packing that never requires greasing. There's also a completely sealed transmission and clutch to provide positive engagement between engine and paddle-shaft. This eliminates belt slippage and the ordinary wear and tear that causes a mixer to grow old and tired. Add on Essick's standard, rugged construction and reliability and you've got the best money-making combination on the market: greater productivity and longer life.

About Our Cover
►Do appearance and design project the image of major financial transactions taking place inside?
This was the image that was desired for the design of the Heritage Bank prototype buildings in Wisconsin to be duplicated in various methods applicable for independent banks, drive-up facilities, branch banks and other capacities.
James A. Kurtz of Kurtz Architects, Inc., Mequon. Wisconsin, designer of the award-winning Heritage Bank building in Fox Point. Wisconsin, tells of his approach to this design solution and why brick was chosen as the basic design element:
"The traditional image of the Heritage Banks required solidity and stability along with a desirable. inviting appearance. To resolve these design criteria. materials had to be versatile, attractive and timeless, yet easily workable into changes of size and character.
"The small, specific details had to be worked into the overall larger details of the whole structure. Molded brick masonry is ideally suited to this purpose, the permanence and warmth of the brick fulfilled the inviting strength desired in the overall character of the design. The small module easily molded to the traditional details to be accentuated and varied in size to enhance the scale of the whole building."
The resultant building is not only aesthetically pleasing, but functional as well. So much so that this year it earned a coveted "Excellence In Masonry" design award from the Masonry Institute of Wisconsin.
Ted Roberts Masonry. Mequon, was the mason. contractor for the project.
