Gqlcrveros Sqles Meering Repods On NoGol Gement Situotion

The cement outlook for Northern California during the next several years looks "good but competitive," Arthur Kroeger, professor of marketing in the Stanford School of Business, declared at a Calaveras Cement Company general sales meeting in San Francisco June 10.

Northern California is lagging behind other parts of the country in utilization of new construction techniques involving pre-stress, precast, tilt-up, lift-slab and blown systems of concrete application, Kroeger said. He pointed out that wider use of these techniques will increase the general demand for cement.

Shipments of cement in Northern California during the first quarter of 1955 are running about 30o/e ahead of shipments during the corresponding period of 1954, Kroeger reported.
