Abstract:
The accelerated construction and maintenance of North Carolina's highways requires vast amounts of stone in many varieties and sizes. Superior Stone Company, a division of Martin Marietta Corporation, has been a pioneer in crushed stone, sand and gravel for highway construction use. Operating out of Raleigh under President W. Trent Ragland, Jr., the company prospects for, locates, quarries, crushes, blends, and sells stone in many forms for constructions projects across the southeast.
