DESCRIPTION	ILASCO, MO - The Atlas Portland Cement Company provided affordable housing for employees to rent.  Since many of them came from Europe with their families and belongings in tow, housing that could accommodate these families was essential.  Pictured here is one example.  This particular cottage in the LeBaume Valley rented for $13.50 per month.  Unfortunately,  this was too expensive for the unskilled laborers and generally was rented by the more skilled laborers or management who were on a higher wage scale.  The child in the foreground is unidentified.
