LASTS AS LONG AS YOUR HOUSE. 
City or Country 
POMPEIIAN BRONZE SCREEN CLOTH 
harmonizes with every type of architecture— 
never obtrudes — never strikes a jarring note. 
It is the most attractive screening material 
made. It is also the most ruggedly cflicient. 
Its bare wires can not rust— lan not become 
unsightly from exposure. Season after season 
— in all climates— in any weather— Pompeiian 
Bronze repels deteriorating influences and 
retains its perfection. Barring fire or accident, 
it is permanent. 
A removable red strine runs throuKh the selvaRc of 
every piece f I’ompciianBronzeScreenClotli.aunuiue 
but positive method of ideniihcntion. If there is nut a 
red string it isn't Pompeiian Bronze.
