Show CHANCE FOR CEMENT MAKER8 Amerlcnn manufacturers havo no yet made the most of 'their opportunities opportun-ities to establish greater export trade according to Geo. ptls Smith In Bulletin Bul-letin 590 of tho United States Geological Geolog-ical Survey. Statistics show that export of cement from England, Ger-( many, Belgium, nnd Franco not only havo been considerably greater than thoso from tho United States, but havo homo a much higher ratio to tho production In theso .countries. Tho quantity of cement exported by Franco In recent yoars Is estimated to have reached at least 23 per cent of her production, and that of Germany Ger-many about 17 per cent. There are few cement plants In South American countries, nnd In tho past theso countries coun-tries havo been supplied mainly from Europe. Thoro Is evidently an oppor-tunlty oppor-tunlty now for tho cement industry of tho United States to secure this trado. |
