All in the Family
Trying to determine why production had declined in a plant, an efficiency expert asked the company's personnel director. "How many of your employees are approaching retirement age?" "Well," replied the personnel director, "we really don't have any going the other way."
SPREADS BETTER...
COSTS LESS
Easy-Spred, the mortar additive that replaces lime. Easy-Spred is a mortar plasticizer that performs better and costs less to use than lime. One 7 lb. bag of Easy-Spred replaces one 50 lb. bag of lime. Produces smoother, creamier, more workable mortar. Spreads like butter for easy tooling of joints and better flow to cross joints. Head joints need not be rebuttered. Easy to mix, requires little re-tempering and is non-toxic. Will not burn skin or eyes. Use of the convenient 7 lb. bag means less bulk to transport, store, handle and mix. Easy-Spred is made from a formulation of minerals naturally compatible with basic ingredients in mortar. Effective for use with brick, block or stucco.
