F.J. Straub patented a lightweight cinder block in 1916. Opened a plant in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1919, produced 25,000 blocks first year.  By 1926
was producing 70 million blocks a year.  In the 1930s and especially the
1940s, many other similar products were introduced, formed from a variety of
components such as pumice, cinders, slag, shale, clay, slate. (Simpson
1999:27-28)

Thanks,
