Vermiculite Institute Elects Boone
(Continued from page 9)
Competitive with his fellow constituents. In masonry fill you have offered him a new product, a new service, and new profits. One of the very fine features of vermiculite masonry fill is that it does not require complicated or intricate devices for it to be installed in the wall effectively.
Miller commended Vermiculite Institute's new color motion picture, "It's All in the Wall," covering masonry fill, and suggested that joint meetings with architects and masonry contractors, such as those started in the Chicago area to show the film, be extended nation-wide.
He urged that the vermiculite industry do everything possible to acquaint mason contractors with the advantages of vermiculite masonry fill through specific examples of projects converted to insulated masonry.
R. L. Upchurch, chairman of the insulation committee, reported that through the efforts of Vermiculite Institute, vermiculite masonry fill has now been included in the design manual of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the master architectural specifications of the Veterans Administration, and Specifications TS-711A of the U.S. Navy, Bureau of Yards and Docks. Institute personnel will continue their efforts in government circles, Upchurch said.
Guest speaker, Dr. Nicholas Nyaradi, former Minister of Finance for Hungary and now director of the School of International Studies at Bradley University, gave a talk on "Free Enterprise or Disaster." The convention closed with the annual banquet.
New Tennessee Corporation
Breeko Industries and Franklin Concrete, Inc. have announced a merger into a single corporation to be known as Breeko Industries, with headquarters in Nashville, Tenn. Pictured above are the new corporation's officers: (1. to r.) Claiborne H. Kinnard, Senior Vice President in Charge of Operations; Carroll Strohm, Jr., President, and Edward Johnston, Executive Vice President. Other officers are: John Hooker, Sr., Vice President and Overton C. Elkins, Secretary.
Strehm, as spokesman for the group said, "This merger was recommended in the best interests of the stockholders of both corporations and should be of great benefit to the entire construction industry in Tennessee. The combined talents and facilities of the new corporation will provide a capability for exceeding the effectiveness of the two individually. As the demand for plant-produced concrete in all forms; i. e, blocks, prestressed and precast continues to increase each year, the smaller producer finds it difficult to provide full range service and keep pace efficiently. This move gives Breeko a greater depth of management, more versatile technical talent and greatly increased production efficiency through volume. New products and construction techniques are constantly being developed to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding usage of concrete materials. We feel that we are now in a position to provide these new materials effectively and economically to keep pace with the rapid growth of the Central South."
