OUSE BUILDER ! Note the speed and economy, 
and above all, the safety of construction with 
NATCO-HOLLOW-TILE 
Frank Chouteau Brown, the noted architect, says: “Stucco houses, 
with walls of Natco Hollow Tile, are the most permanent and sat¬ 
isfactory.” 
Natco construction is cheaper than 
brick or concrete, and, while more 
expensive than flimsy and danger¬ 
ous frame, the resulting economies 
in maintenance and insurance will 
in the course of a few years pay for 
this initial increased outlay. 
Natco should be used, not only 
for walls, but for floors and par¬ 
titions— throughout the house. 
Natco is cooler in summer and 
warmer in winter, saving coal bills, 
thanks to its blankets of dead air 
contained in the cells of the tile. It 
is vermin-proof, damp-proof, and, 
most important of all, absolutely 
fireproof. Think of Natco as a ser¬ 
vice, free to all architects, engineers, 
contractors, and to you. 
Send ten cents for the interesting 32-page 
book, “Fireproof Houses.” It will show 
you how other discriminating people have 
erected beautiful houses with Natco—for 
comfort, economy and safety. For your 
protection, look for the imprinted trade 
mark “Natco” on every tile.

“Don ’t Even Think of 
Building Without This Book!” 
“My dear, it makes every vexatious problem of homebuilding 
as plain as day—from the selection of a building site to the 
choice of a roof material. 
“It’s full of photographs and delightful floor plans that, fairly 
make your mouth water. It’s complete and surprisingly 
readable. 
“In connection with wall construction it describes

Expanded Metal Lath 
a plaster base for interior ceilings and walls that prevents cracking and 
gives you walls of perfect smoothness. 
“Then, too, KNO-BURN Metal Lath absolutely does away with those 
horrid looking dark streaks you’ve seen in the ceilings of so many 
houses. 
“Did we use it ?—of course ! 
“That’s why we were able to paper with perfect confidence as soon as 
our walls were plastered, instead of waiting a year for the house to 
‘settle.’ #
