Reliability
On The Move!

Components of a Prime-Mover mason tender haven't changed. That's because they were engineered specifically for the mason tender in the first place. And they've proven to be reliable. So whether, it's moving packaged brick or palletized block, Prime- Mover mason tenders won't stop working until you do. It's been that way since we started making mason tenders 30 years ago. Some things just shouldn't be changed. Call 319/262-7738 for a dealer/demo.

Graffiti Removal Saves Granite at
Kansas City's Vietnam Memorial

A special cleaner donated by ProSoCo, Inc. successfully re- moved unsightly graffiti from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial un- der construction in Kansas City, Mo. A poultice formulation was applied that safely cleaned off the swastikas and other slogans defacing the nearly completed granite memorial.

Various rubs, solvents and other chemicals were tried before ProSoCo's formulation proved successful. "The graffiti was in- delible marker, a lot harder to remove than spray paint." said a representative of the firm. "The 89¢ marker causes the most prob lems on masonry surfaces."

The 10-foot-high. 75-foot-long memorial is constructed of granite and concrete. Funds for the memorial were raised by a dedicated group of veterans who maintained a 24-hour vigil after graffiti appeared on the memorial.
