 CARNEY CEMENT COMPANY 
 Mankato Minnesota 
 
 
A section of the huge quarries near Mankato, Minnesota supplying the 
 stone for making Carney. It is the only deposit of this peculiar rock that 
 has ever been found. Lime has been chemically combined in this stone 
 to make, when burned and ground, a smooth working, slower setting mortar 
 that requires no limejn mixing. No foreign materials of any kind are add- 
 ed to or taken from the natural stone during the manufacture of Carney.

Carney— the Cement Nature Mixed 
 
 n nor SANDS of years ago nature 
 deposited a cement rock that was des- 
 tined to revolutionize the mortar work in 
 present day construction of tile and brick 
 buildings. 
 
 This particular deposit of stone, found at 
 Mankato, Minnesota, is entirely different 
 from any other deposit found in America. 
 Its difference lies in the fact that the stone 
 contains just the right amount of lime to 
 make, when burned and ground, and when 
 the proper proportions of water and sand 
 are added, a plastic, smooth-working, slower 
 setting mortar for brick and tile laying. 
 
 In this stone nature combined chemically, 
 in just the right proportion, enough lime 
 so that when three parts of sand are added 
 to one part of Carney and mixed with 
 water, the result is a perfect mortar for 
 brick or tile construction. Carney is not 
 new. It has been used for years and has 
 heretofore been sold under the name Car- 
 ney’s Cement. Owing to its many superior 
 advantages and differences from ordinary 
 cements its name has been changed to 
 Carney, as it is in a class by itself. Carney 
 in no way resembles other cements. Its 
 composition and mixing characteristics, as 
 well as its perfect properties in the finished 
 wall, make it far superior to anything else 
 for making brick and tile mortar. 
 
 In the process of mixing Carney nothing 
 need be added to obtain a perfect mortar 
 except water and sand in the proper pro- 
 portion. No waxes, oils, lime, gypsum or 
 any other foreign materials are necessary, 
 nor are any added during or after the 
 
 process of manufacture by the makers. 
 Because of its slower setting properties 
 Carney mortar adheres more closely to the 
 brick or tile and makes a stronger union. 
 This slower setting property makes the 
 mortar more plastic and easier to work with. 
 Soaking increases the amount of putty 50% 
 and improves the quality of the mortar, 
 thereby lowering the cost of Carney. This 
 peculiar quality permits the mason to lay 
 more bricks to the barrel of Carney than is 
 possible with other mortars. It is not 
 unusual to lay at least 1,000 brick to a barrel 
 of Carney. 
 
 Carney is the only cement which can be 
 allowed to stand over night to be used next 
 morning by simply retempering with water. 
 This feature eliminates all waste. Ex- 
 perience in using ordinary cement-lime 
 mortars proves that Carney eliminates many 
 of the mistakes due to complex mixing for- 
 mulas, thereby saving much trouble and 
 work at the mortar box. 
 
 Carney is of such quality that it can he 
 used the year around. 
 
 Carney has been used in the walls of 
 thousands of America’s finest buildings, 
 over a period of many years, which proves 
 beyond a doubt that Carney mortar stands 
 the test of time. It grips the bricks in 
 these walls like a steel vise, becoming 
 harder than the bricks themselves, thereby 
 making a solid wall of masonry of uniform 
 quality from foundation to roof. Any 
 architect or contractor who has had experi- 
 ence with Carney will tell you that it has 
 revolutionized tile and brick construction.

One Part Carney 
 Three Parts Sand — No Lime 
 
 W HEN you give consideration to this 
 simple specification of one part Car- 
 ney. three parts sand — no lime, used accord- 
 ing to manufacturer's directions, you begin 
 to realize the wonderful possibility of sav- 
 ing in time, labor and trouble where Car- 
 ney is used. 
 
 It w ill 1 )e immediately noted that the 
 Carney specification does not call for the 
 use of lime. Therefore, the initial cost of 
 lime ordinarily used in common low-grade 
 mortar is saved, as well as the labor cost 
 of slaking and mixing. 
 
 Every architect and contractor knows 
 that delays and losses often occur due to 
 errors when the ordinary cement-lime mor- 
 tars are mixed according to their complicated 
 
 formulas. AVhere Carney mortar is used no 
 mortar mixing mistakes can occur. This 
 elimination of error is due to the Carney 
 specification: 
 
 1 part Carney — 3 parts sand — No lime. 
 
 If this formula is not followed closely by 
 the mortar mixer, the brick or tile mason 
 will be prompt to tell the brick foreman on 
 the job that he cannot work the mortar. 
 The addition of too much or too little sand 
 interferes with the easy, plastic, smooth 
 working properties of the properly prepared 
 mortar. This acts as a constant check upon 
 improper mixing, adulteration or careless- 
 ness at the mortar box. There is no mortar 
 so simple and easy to mix as Carney mortar.

Directions for using 
 Carney 
 
 For Brick, Tile and Terra Cotta Walls 
 above grade in warm weather. Put suffi- 
 cient neat cement in the soaking box to be 
 tive or six inches deep when leveled off. 
 Cover with water, using about twice as 
 much water as cement by volume. Thor- 
 oughly stir with hoe and allow to stand 
 until surplus water is absorbed. This will 
 require about three hours, though this time 
 can be considerably shortened by addition- 
 al stirring of the cement and water an hour 
 or so after mixing. The putty is now ready 
 to be mixed with sand for use. (Many 
 masons prefer to put water in mixing box 
 before the cement.) The soaking and stir- 
 ring of Carney increases its volume upwards 
 about 50%. The putty can stand in the 
 box for hours, even over night, without 
 harming the quality of the mortar. There 
 is no waste to Carney mortar. 
 
 Machine Mix — Throw into the mixer 
 one shovel of Carney putty, as prepared 
 above, to every three shovels of sharp, clean, 
 screened sand, adding enough water to pro- 
 duce a mortar of the proper consistency for 
 laying brick. Run the mortar from the 
 mixer into a box, and it is ready for use. 
 
 Hand M ix — Use two boxes, one for soak- 
 ing the neat cement as outlined, the other to 
 mix the mortar in, using proportions of one 
 part Carney putty to three parts sharp, 
 clean, screened sand. Each box can be par- 
 titioned into two parts, so that neat cement 
 can be soaking in one end of the soaking box 
 while it is being used from the other, so that 
 mortar can be prepared in one end of the 
 mixing box while being used from the other. 
 
 There is considerable economy in using 
 clean, sharp sand, as the cement will go 
 much further in the work. 
 
 Cold Weather Conditions — Heat the sand and 
 water. Use equal parts of neat cement and water 
 by volume and thoroughly stir. Do not allow the 
 cement to soak longer than an hour or an hour and 
 a half in cold weather before adding the sand. Mix 
 in proportion of one part Carney to three parts 
 sand and use directly after mixing. 
 
 For Non-Porous and Hard Shale Brick in 
 Cold Weather — For every barrel of Carney use 
 one bag of Portland cement when adding the sand. 
 This small addition of Portland cement quickens 
 the set of the mortar, which is necessary when lay- 
 ing impervious brick in cold weather.

Like Structural Steel in the Wall 
 
 F OR thousands of years designers and 
 contractors of world s buildings have 
 had more trouble with the mortar or 
 bond than they have had with tile or brick 
 from which structures were built. Any 
 architect or contractor knows that he is 
 never sure what the results from ordinary 
 mortar are going to be. Regardless of how 
 careful the mortar mixing is watched, 
 carelessness and adulterations often creep 
 into the mortar work. 
 
 Many experiences with finished walls 
 have been very unfortunate. Mortar has 
 disintegrated with time and has blown 
 away. Poor mortar is due to a variety of 
 causes but chiefly to the difficulty of getting 
 the proper mixture. Therefore thousands 
 of architects and contractors have been 
 
 using Carney with a feeling of satisfaction 
 and security that has never been known 
 before in the construction of buildings. 
 
 Examine any finished wall built with 
 Carney and you will find the cement has 
 returned to its native hardness and has 
 become harder than the brick or tile it binds. 
 
 Buildings laid up in Carney are often 
 likened to buildings erected of structural 
 steel. Carney is to the wall what the steel 
 is to the building. In the wall it is strong 
 and durable like structural steel. It forms a 
 network of masonry that makes the strong- 
 est possible wall -a wall capable of bearing 
 w eight.

er than the brick it binds but it develops 
 a vise-like gripping power. This unusual 
 hardness and gripping power is achieved 
 through the slower setting of Carney mor- 
 tar. The mortar is absorbed into the brick 
 and thus makes a “bond that guarantees 
 the wall". 
 
 In your examination you will find that 
 the wall laid in Carney has become a solid 
 wall of masonry from the foundation to the 
 roof. The durability of a Carney laid wall 
 is best described by a letter recently 
 received from a contractor who uses Carney. 
 In part, the letter read as follows: “We 
 recently had occasion to tear down a part 
 of a wall we laid in Carney in order to make 
 certain changes. The mortar had become 
 so hard and held the bricks so strongly 
 that it was necessary to drill the bricks in 
 order to alter the wall. This certainly 
 proved to our satisfaction that there is no 
 mortar that can compare in gripping power 
 to Carney-made mortar." 
 
 On account of its natural hardness after 
 setting and its peculiar gripping qualities 
 Carney is particularly adaptable for wall 
 bearing buildings. The hardness of Carney 
 Mortar makes such a uniformly strong wall 
 that it is capable of bearing almost any 
 load that it may be subjected to. 
 
 It is a well known fact that the intense 
 heat of big fires does not harm the quality 
 of Carney mortar in the least. This fact 
 is based on several cases where fire com- 
 pletely gutted buildings laid up with Carney 
 Mortar. In these cases the walls were still 
 standing intact when everything else was 
 destroyed. It is this permanence in the 
 finished wall that appeals to architects and 
 contractors alike. They know that the wall

Carney Makes Mortar Work Easy 
 
 E VERY contractor who uses Carney 
 Mortar knows that the work of 
 building is made easier from the 
 mixing at the mortar box to the final laying 
 of the brick or tile. Carney is handled 
 more easily than ordinary cements on 
 account of its light weight — the weight 
 being only 60 pounds to the sack, or 240 
 pounds to the barrel of 4 cubic feet. As no 
 lime is required for mixing Carney the user 
 is spared the expense and bother of buying 
 and handling lime. Thus all the usual 
 troubles which accompany the use of lime, 
 such as deterioration, slaking and mixing, 
 together with the attendant expense and 
 loss, are avoided. 
 
 Any laborer can mix Carney Mortar with- 
 out supervision because of the simple for- 
 mula — 1 part Carney — 3 parts sand — no 
 
 lime — and because of the fact that the 
 mason on the wall will discover any change 
 in this formula instantly when he tries to 
 use improperly mixed Carney mortar. This 
 simple process of mixing results in a saving 
 of 40% of labor usually required to make 
 cement-lime mortar. 
 
 The using of Carney results in a saving 
 of time. Mortar mixers on a job where 
 Carney is used may begin work one half 
 hour before the brick layers and still have 
 plenty of time to prepare a supply of mortar 
 before the layers are ready. 
 
 Carney mortar is so easy to mix that 
 fewer men are required at the mortar box 
 than when low grade mortar is used. The 
 mason works under entirely different con- 
 ditions on the wall where Carney mortar is 
 used. Because Carney is so much more

plastic, smooth working and slower setting 
 the mason can work with less effort. He 
 doesn’t have to tap down or knock down 
 the brick with his trowel as lie has to do 
 with ordinary cements. Nor does he ever 
 have to rip up a brick and spread new mor- 
 tar. The slower set and greater smoothness 
 make it unnecessary for him to jiggle the 
 brick. This is why walls laid up in Carney 
 do not have wavy horizontal rows. 
 
 Any mason can lay more brick per day 
 with Carney mortar. Using Carney a mason 
 can set up four or five bricks in the time it 
 would take to set up two in Portland. 
 
 These advantages to the mason cannot be 
 secured with a quick setting cement. 
 
 Where Carney is used contractors find 
 that there is no waste mortar because the 
 Carney Mortar left over can be used the 
 following day by simply retempering with 
 water. Therefore the mixer doesn’t have 
 to use his judgment as to the amount of 
 mortar that will probably be used in the 
 last few hours of the day. All difficulty 
 with hold-over mortar is eliminated by the 
 use of Carney. Even if the mortar box is 
 found to be half full at the time the whistle 
 blows, it is unnecessary to clean it out for 
 Carney can be mixed and held over night 
 without loss or deterioration. Often-times 
 a portion of a job may be temporarily de- 
 layed or stalled, causing a hold up in masonry 
 work and frequently wasting mortar. With 
 Carney mortar, a delay will not result in 
 waste because the mortar can be retempered 
 and used. No other cement has this no- 
 waste feature.

 Carney mortar is an all year round 
 mortar. It can be used in winter as well 
 as summer with equally good results. Frost 
 will not affect the strength of the mortar in 
 the wall. Here is an advantage of the ut-

most importance to contractors and archi- 
 tects as well as the owners. 
 
 Whether hand or machine mixing, where 
 Carney is used mortar mixing is made 
 easier, at the same time saving you a great 
 deal of worry and bother. It also makes 
 work easier on the wall, thereby saving 
 time on the job and at the same time cutting 
 the amount of labor cost. The contractor 
 will immediately appreciate how much 
 trouble, worry and expense can be saved 
 as well as the number of mistakes which 
 may be avoided by the use of Carney. The 
 contractor who doesn't use Carney now, 
 simply never has used it. 
 
 This ease with which Carney mortar work 
 can be accomplished should instantly con- 
 vince you, if you are a contractor, that it 
 is more profitable to use Carney and save 
 mistakes, trouble and worry that you have 
 experienced in the use of ordinary lime- 
 cement mortars. 
 
 An architect who specifies Carney can 
 enjoy a feeling of security and satisfaction 
 through knowing that the building will be 
 completed exactly as he planned it, and 
 that there will be no regrets due to careless- 
 ness and mistakes resulting from the use of 
 poor mortar. 
 
 The fact that Carney requires no lime in mixing is a saving 
 not only in cost of materials but also in time and labor.

 Carney Economies 
 
 T he users of Carney meet with one 
 economy after another, from the time 
 of purchasing to the final laying of the mor- 
 tar in the wall. It is beyond contradiction 
 the most economical cement found on the 
 market today. 
 
 The following Carney economies summar- 
 ize the experience of the contractors and 
 architects responsible for many of the finest 
 buildings in America that have been laid 
 up in Carney. 
 
 The original cost of Carney mortar is less 
 than that of cement-lime-mortar. Since 
 nature added sufficient lime to the rock 
 from which Carney is made, there is a sub- 
 stantial saving to the contractor or builder 
 because of the fact that lime doesn't have to 
 be purchased or handled. Then too, Carney 
 can be safely carried on hand since it does 
 not deteriorate in stock. 
 
 Carney is light in weight. It weighs 
 only 60 pounds to the sack or 240 pounds 
 to the barrel of 4 cubic feet. Therefore it 
 is easier and less expensive to handle than 
 ordinary cements. Less man power and 
 less trucking facilities are required to handle 
 
 and transport Carney, but the biggest saving 
 is accomplished in the mixing, owing to the 
 simplified formula for making Carney mor- 
 tar— 1 part Carney — 3 parts sand- — no lime. 
 This formula cuts the cost of mortar mixing 
 40% below the cost of mixing cement-lime 
 mortar. The mixing work is done much 
 easier and faster, therefore less labor is 
 required. This enables the mortar mixers 
 to start work a half hour instead of an hour 
 ahead of the brick layers in the morning 
 and still have the mortar ready on time. 
 
 The experience of Carney users differs 
 slightly as to the exact number of men 
 required at the mortar box to supply a 
 given number of men on the wall. This 
 difference varies due to local conditions as 
 well as to whether mixed by hand or 
 machine. All experiences, however, come 
 within the following figures: — One man mix- 
 ing by machine can supply 25 to 30 men on 
 the wall, and, mixing by hand, one man can 
 provide for 12 to 15 men. 
 
 Two men mixing by machine, can supply 
 as high as 60 men on the wall.

Carney possesses one remarkable feature 
 of economy possessed by no other cement 
 and that is, when it is soaked in water its 
 volume increases from a barrel to one barrel 
 and a half. When water is added to a barrel 
 of neat cement and it is allowed to stand 
 a short time it is found that a barrel and a 
 half of putty results. The photograph at 
 the top of page 13 shows an actual soaking 
 test made in the mortar box under working 
 conditions. The box on the right shows an 
 actual increase of 50% in volume after 
 soaking three hours. This increase in vol- 
 ume is a clear saving. There is no first cost 
 on it, neither is there any freight, cartage 
 or handling. It is a 50% dividend free 
 of labor and expense. Soaking improves 
 the plastic, smooth working qualities of Car- 
 ney without in any way harming the result- 
 ing mortar. The swelling properties of Carney 
 
 combined with the better working qualities 
 of the putty, result in tw r o direct extra profits 
 to the contractor. It enables the man on 
 the w r all to work faster and it results in the 
 laying of approximately 1000 brick to a bar- 
 rel. Carney enables men to work faster be- 
 cause it makes a smoother w r orking mortar 
 that doesn’t have to be retempered. There- 
 fore they can lay more brick per man per 
 day than w T hen using any other mortar. 
 Naturally the job is speeded up and this re- 
 sults in a great saving in building cost. The 
 average mason working w ith Carney can set 
 up four or five bricks in the time it ordin- 
 arily takes to set up tw T o in Portland. 
 
 Unless the contractor has used Carney 
 he has never used a cement in which there 
 is no w’aste. Many times when work is fin- 
 ished in the evening the contractor finds a 
 
 :C ABNEY: 
 
 PAG E E <> V It T E E .V 
 
lot of left-over mortar. This waste and 
 expense is eliminated by the use of Carney. 
 
 It is the constant endeavor of the mortar 
 mixer who makes ordinary mortar to judge 
 accurately the amount of mortar required 
 during the last few hours of the day, while 
 men on the wall must speed up or slow 
 down to keep pace with the mortar supply. 
 Where Carney Mortar is used this problem 
 of speeding up or slowing down, which 
 results in great waste, is eliminated, because 
 mortar left over at the end of the day can 
 be just as readily used the following day 
 by simply retempering with water. 
 
 Along this line a Cleveland Ohio Con- 
 struction Company writes, “As a mortar 
 material we find the retempering quality of 
 very great value as our mortar supply, made 
 up the day previous, is always ready in any 
 quantity required. This same retempering 
 quality is of further service, as the small 
 mortar boards on the floor need not be used 
 up each day. There is no waste to take 
 care of, thus securing a noticeable economy.” 
 
 Another concern writes, “We find the re- 
 tempered material gets hard in the same 
 time as material that has not been retemp- 
 ered. We find that by soaking the cement 
 ahead and using the putty we use a less 
 quantity of cement per thousand brick.” 
 
 In using Carney costly mistakes are 
 avoided which often occur through adulter- 
 ation at the mortar box. The Carney 
 formula is so simple that any laborer can 
 follow it. The addition of too much or too 
 little sand immediately results in complaints 
 from the mason on the wall. This eliminates 
 constant inspection of the contents of the 
 mortar box. The masons act automatically 
 as inspectors and notify the foreman when

 the quality of Carney has been changed by 
 the mixers either through error or care- 
 lessness. 
 
 These are some of the reasons why 
 architects are now constantly specifying 
 Carney, and why contractors are using it 
 instead of cement-lime mortar because of 
 its economy, because it is trouble-proof 
 and fool-proof and because with it they can 
 build better walls at lower cost.

Lower Masonry Bids 
 
 I T IS the constant endeavor of the 
 conscientious architect to have his 
 buildings of such high quality that 
 they stand as monuments to his good 
 judgment and efficiency. That is the 
 reason why thousands of the best architects 
 in America are now specifying Carney. 
 However, these same architects are not 
 unmindful of the saving in building costs 
 accomplished through the use of Carney. 
 They well know that Carney results in 
 great saving which is reflected in lower bids. 
 These architects have a feeling of satisfac- 
 tion in knowing the finished walls, where 
 Carney is used, will be completed exactly 
 as planned. 
 
 For these same reasons the posted con- 
 tractor is always anxious to use Carney. 
 He well knows of the advantages and 
 economy and better construction which 
 result from its use. He also knows that it 
 helps him to meet the keenest competition 
 through lower bids and that when the job 
 is completed he has made another satisfied 
 customer. 
 
 We have received hundreds of letters 
 from architects and contractors giving their 
 experiences with Carney. One contractor 
 who used 3,000,000 brick and 3,000 barrels 
 of Carney on a certain job figured that he 
 saved $4,500 on brick work alone. Another 
 contractor writes: "We figure at least 
 $1.50 saving per thousand brick by using 
 Carney instead of lime and cement mortar.” 
 
 It is such experiences as these, resulting 
 from the use of Carney, that insure the 
 
 complete satisfaction of the architect and 
 contractor and make so many satisfied 
 owners. 
 
 If you as an architect will write Carney 
 in the specifications for your next job, or 
 if you are a contractor, when you prepare 
 your next bid, will figure on using 
 Carney, you can make a decided saving in 
 the building cost and be sure of obtaining 
 satisfactory results. 
 
 W hether you are an architect or con- 
 tractor it will pay you to investigate Carney 
 and learn first hand the decided savings you 
 can make by writing in Carney in your 
 plans. In order that you can get in touch 
 with those who have used Carney we are 
 giving a list on the next page of a few of 
 the buildings where Carney has been used, 
 together with the names of the contractors 
 and architects. 
 
 Examine this list and see if any of these 
 buildings are located near you. If not, write 
 us and we will lie very pleased for the 
 opportunity to send you the names of 
 buildings near you laid up in Carney, to- 
 gether with the names and addresses of 
 architects who planned them and con- 
 tractors who handled the jobs, and you will 
 be convinced that Carney lowers masonry 
 bids. 
 
 From the above advantages it can readily 
 be seen that the architect who specifies Car- 
 ney in his plans is really doing the contrac- 
 tor a favor. He is giving the contractor the 
 means for building the best wall possible at 
 a much lower cost.

 Carney

Where to Get Carney 
 
 TITE KNOW, f rom experience, it is the 
 V yconstant endeavor of the architect to 
 specify those materials which give 
 best results at the lowest possible cost. We 
 know that it is the constant endeavor of 
 the good contractor to deliver the highest 
 class work possible, but at the same time 
 he must watch very closely his overhead and 
 costs. There is no argument as to the fact 
 that Carney Mortar gives the best possible 
 results in brick and tile construction; nor is 
 there any argument, in the minds of those 
 who have used it, as to its economy. There- 
 fore, we are safe in saying that when you, 
 as an architect, or contractor, are made 
 familiar with the good qualities of Carney 
 you will use it because it produces the best 
 mortar at the lowest possible cost. 
 
 Investigate Carney before you begin 
 planning or erecting another building. Ask 
 a Carney dealer in your town to tell you 
 the location of a building laid up in Carney. 
 Go to that building and examine it closely. 
 Call on the architect or contractor who 
 planned or built the building and ask him 
 regarding his experiences with Carney. 
 Find out first hand from the actual user 
 just how economical Carney is and what a 
 substantial wall it builds. Don’t delay 
 investigating Carney, because we know it 
 is your desire to produce the most satis- 
 factory work and to cut your costs. 
 
 After having seen Carney in use and 
 after having talked with the architect and 
 contractor you will he convinced of the me- 
 rits of Carney and you will try it yourself. 
 
 Carney has been used in the most im- 
 portant and largest brick and tile structures 
 in the United States under the most trying 
 conditions of weather and workmanship 
 and it has made good. If your dealer 
 doesn’t carry Carney, send us his name 
 and address, and we will see that you are 
 promptly supplied. Carney is accessible to 
 all architects, contractors and builders in 
 America. Perhaps you have some questions 
 in mind you would like to ask regarding 
 Carney. If there is any information you 
 desire write 11s a letter, and we will be glad 
 to explain any points and advise you fully 
 as to how Carney can be successfully and 
 economically used on any brick or tile 
 construction job. 
 
 Our experience in brick and tile con- 
 struction is comprehensive and varied be- 
 cause we have had to meet every possible 
 condition that could possibly arise in the 
 building of brick and tile buildings. Noth- 
 ing pleases us more than to have architects 
 and contractors ask 11s to help them with 
 their building problems. 
 
 Specify and use Carney on your next job 
 and we assure you, you will become another 
 Carney booster.
