BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
Mrs. Billie Soloff is all smiles as she receives a handsome set of glass block bookends from Robert Rawlins of Pittsburgh Corning Corporation for winning last year's ladies golf tournament during the MCAA Executive Board meeting at Tan-Tar-A, Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. The original set was stolen during the meeting, and Pittsburgh Corning was gracious enough to present a duplicate pair to Mrs. Soloff at the '72 Executive Board meeting in Williamsburg, Virginia, last July.

Marblehead Lime Marks 100th Year
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Marblehead Lime Company headquartered in Chicago. The picture, used on company stationery in the 1890's, shows five shaft kilns at one of the early plants located at Marblehead, III. The two characters on top of the kiln (second from the right) weren't out for a joyride with their mule-drawn cart (immediately to their left); their job was to keep the kilns supplied with limestone to be made into lime. And in those days, the name Marblehead was used in two words.
Today Marblehead is the country's largest lime manufacturer with plants in Chicago, Thornton, Quincy and Marblehead, III.; Buffington, Ind.; River Rouge, Mich.; Hannibal, Mo., and Tooele, Utah. Last July the company also announced the purchase of the Standard Lime & Refractories Co. lime plant in Pleasant Gap, Pa., which produces about 250,000 tons of lime annually.
Marblehead products are used in virtually every industry including construction, steel, chemical, metallurgical, agriculture and a host of others.
