July 23, 1927 Merced Sun-Star Our Congratulations and Best Wishes Are Extended to This New Industry Yosemite Portland Cement Corporation brings our community a new payroll - which means scores of new families, permanently located here and at the quarries in Mariposa County. This addition to pop- ulation means more business for every merchant, for every industry, for every tradesman. Our gondola cars, loaded with limestone, are bring- ing thousands of tons of raw material from the quar- ries to the mill every day. We gladly join with the business firms of Merced in bidding welcome to the Yosemite Portland Cement Corporation. Yosemite Valley Railroad Co. W. L. White, Manager
