The above photo was part of an advertisement flyer published by the
Portland Cement Association, Chicago, Ill.

The advertisement,

"Concrete Railway Structures
Reduce Maintenance Cost"

illustrated a number of the many diversified railway uses of concrete which,
as advertised, helped reduce maintenance costs, promote safety and
increase earnings.

This flyer was rescued from the dumpster, along with a quantity of other
literature from the PRSL offices in Camden, NJ prior to closing.
