DESCRIPTION ILASCO, MO - Pictured here is another example of the worker housing offered for rent by the Atlas Portland Cement Company.  Located in the LeBaume Valley, this three room cottage rented for $11.00 a month.  This rent was too high for the more unskilled laborers and was probably rented by members of management or skilled laborers higher on the pay scale.
