Lewie Holden and family visited at the Ben Eimers home last week. One of the great values of Sheetrock is—it is fireproof. It is wallboard made from rock—gypsum plaster cast in sections—and it cannot bum, ignite, or transmit heat. It furnishes extra protection from fire to the joists and studding to which it is nailed. Sheetrock comes already for use. The carpenter puts it up—it saw's and nails like lumber—you decorate, with paper, pain: or panels—and ‘he room is ready for use. There is no lath to buy, no lathing to do, no mixing of plaster, no plastering. The result is a rigid, smooth-surfaced, permanent, fireproof and non-warp ing w’all, at low cost. Ask your dealer in lumber or in builders' supplies about the many economical uses of Sheetrock in new construction, alterations and repairs. He has Sheet rock for sale, or can get it immediately, direct from our mill at Fort Dodge. lowa. Be sure the Sheetrock label, with the Underwrit ers' Laboratories, Inc., approval ison each board. ■■ * —* irrw —Hemstitching done at the Pris- v > cilia Art Shop. 10c and 12c per \ yard.
