Robert W. Lesley in 1900: "the next age succeeding the age of steel, would be practically known as the Cement Age, and that it was but philosophical and reasonable that in an age of such great adaptability and plasticity in the individual, that the building material should be of equal plastic character."
Robert W. Lesley, "The Cement Age," 1903: "this is certainly the age of the plastic material. It seems almost a philosophical thought that in this age, when man changes and thought changes so quickly, the material representing the period is one of a plastic and flexible nature."
