Century of Cement.

This year is the one-hundredth anniversary of the invention of Portland cement.. Old records have been discovered showing that in 1850 deposits of rock needed for natural cement manufacture were found in Georgia, and that cement was made in the state before the Civil War.

The discovery of cement rock was made in 1850 at Cement, Georgia, by the Rev, Charles W. Hayard. In 1867 Colonel George Waring of Savannah, took control of the plant, and worked it as the Havard Hydraulic Cement Company. But Joseph Aspdin, an English brick- layer, made the discovery of Portland

and cement itself, brought out his new material in 1824 Portland cement is strictly

manufactured product, whilst natural cement is largely a gift of Nature.
