A DEVELOPMENT of geographic interest in the cement industry during the last twenty-five years, has been the location of many of the new plants on navigable waterways utilized both for cheap assembly of raw materials and for low cost distribution of cement in bulk cargo lots. Nowhere is this trend better exemplified than along the shores of the Great Lakes, site of thirteen cement plants and scene of the development of the selfunloading bulk cement carrying boat. In addition to contributing materially to the industrial stature of the Great Lakes Region, these cement plants provide interesting illustrations of the varying importance of factors in the complex to be considered in locating for cement manufacture. It is the purpose of this paper to first discuss in a general way conditions involved in the location of cement plants, and then to discuss more specifically the Great Lakes cement industry and trade. Statistics used and conditions described are of necessity largely those for the period just prior to the entrance of the United States into the present
