solidity by exposure, and are eyer- 
lasting. ‘The expense of wear and 
repair is entirely eliminated. 
The blocks made by our "Borst 
System" produce a non-porous fac- 
ing in perfect imitation of any design 
in cut or hewn stone of any natural 
color. The blocks have a hollow air 
space, insuring warmth in winter and 
a cool house in summer, 
By the use of our face-plates (inter- 
changeable), the face of blocks made 
on our machine produces a wall of 
such design as to entirely destroy 
sameness and monotony. To any 
intending home builder we offer an 
“‘Ideal’” Block Machine of such sim- 
plicity that, with our instructions, any- 
one can produce the blocks. Our 
machine is a recognized standard prod- 
uct, both tried and tested. It has been 
on the market for two years.
