MORGEN Scaffolding Increases Production
from 900 to 1,400 Brick Per Man Per Day

By putting Morgen Adjustable Scaffolding to work on 84 two-story structures in a low-rent housing project in Montgomery, Ala., James A. Alexander Masonry Co., Georgiana, Ala., raised his masons' production from 900 units per man per day on conventional scaffolding to an average of 1,400!

He is brick veneering a building a day with his mechanized scaffolding and material handling system. The production increase results from uninterrupted masons kept continuously at ideal working height. Morgen Scaffolding raises the masons, material and tenders as the wall is built. There is no interrupting while planks and material are moved to a higher level.

The day before, Alexander placed 500-unit cubes between every tower enough to brick the whole building. Brick is always at the masons' fingertips. Laborers have only to distribute mud and raise the carriages.

Increased masons' production is only one of the ways Morgen Scaffolding pays off for Alexander and hundreds of other contractors. Write for the full story on Morgen's saving program today.
