THE CURTAIN OF BEAUTY f
. Tfc ft ORE than beauty is at stake for those
JL ▼ JL who are planning a home. The comfort
I *
of walls insulated against heat, cold and
moisture, and the protection of fire-proof
construction are essential to American stand
ards of home life. The permanence of a well
built house, the securi*" jf investment, too,
has a place of importance in home planning
and building.
These things, all of them, and many other
advantages of beauty, comfort, safety and
economy, are assured through the use of
Structural Clay Tile. Interesting literature
describing the characteristics and use of this

versatile building material awaits your request.
