Rensselaer Cement Products Company Lands $25,000 Contract.

The Rensselaer Cement Products Company has just been awarded the contract to furnish the tile for a drainage district in Vermillion county, rilinois. This district represents an area of sixteen square miles and the tile to be used are all the way from 30 inch and smaller in size. The contract price for this material is $25,000. The Rensselaer Cement Products Company is a thriving industry. Last summer they employed" about thirty men and that number will possibly be increased this year. The number of articles being manufactured out of cement is greatly increasing and the possibility of this industry seems unlimited. The company here is in the hands of a number of business men who are hustlers and who are not only making good for themselves but for this community as well. Having taken the contract near Danville, 111., they had to refuse another at CoQumbia Oitv, Ind., amounting to over $30,000.
