"Competition in the improvement of masonry work has a history in Poland. Such workers as Religa, Poręcki, Chojnowski, Dzięcioł, Szadkowski, Lewandowski, Niedolistek and many others took part in its creation. The list of them is not yet closed. Just as the matter of improving masonry and other construction work is not yet completed. Every construction worker can be its pioneer. Therefore, into the hands of the broad masses of workers, into the hands of thousands of masons, thousands of carpenters, concrete or plasterers, installers or reinforcers - we hand this book over with the conviction that they will find in the biographies of their colleagues their own destinies and paths, that familiarization with the efforts of their comrades will enable them to walk towards an increasingly fuller development of their own in all respects and to develop their own strengths for the good of People's Poland."
