The structural part of the new Sta­ dium is of reinforced concrete. The present part has more reinforcements than Rock's teams because the Sta­ dium is built with an eye to football's possible future.

OWERS of fine-grained, light-colored Indi­ Tana Limestone are now conspicuous on the skj'line of everj- larger citj*. A noteworthy example is Cleveland's Terminal Tower. Mod­ ern business has approved the use of natural stone for today's office building. The reason is the proven value of stone as an income producer. Where land values are high, every precaution is taken to assure a building's drawing power. Surveys in metropolitan areas show that Indi­ ana Limestone buildings have a better than average renting record. The percentage of occupied space in Indiana modern stone struc­ tures is unusuall)' high. This indication of public approval means much, whether your building is a many-storied tower or an apartment or store building. Indiana Limestone is so moderate in cost that it is being used quite as extensively in small buildings as in the larger structures. Before you commit yourself to building of any other material, no matter what tj-pe of con­ struction you are undertaking, get a figure on its cost in Indiana Limestone. Our branch offices, located in principal cities, make this information quick and easy to obtain. We will gladly estimate without the slightest oblig^ation. Put us in touch with your architect.
