Don’t Have to 
Wait for 
When you want hot 
water for the morning 
tub—for shaving—hot 
water in the kitchen— 
in the laundry —and 
plenty of it —you 
simply turn the faucet 
—just as easy as touch¬ 
ing a bell-button. No 
fires to light—nothing 
to wait for—but hot 
water in ten seconds if 
you have a 
RUUD 
Automatic

derful water heater

Where 
isn’t that draught 
in a house built with¬ 
out proper sheathing ! Around the base¬ 
boards—up through the floors—through 
countless places dangerous draughts pour 
in and offset the work of your heating plant. 
NEPONSET 
SHEATHING PAPER 
Keeps Houses Warm 
It blankets the walls and keeps out 
dampness and cold. Its cost is insignifi¬ 
cant as a building expense, but it adds 
great value to your house when built—im¬ 
portant if you keep it, important if you sell. 
Draughts mean discomfort—sick¬ 
ness and doctors’ bills. Build right 
— refuse cheap substitutes for Ne- 
ponset—papers that split open and 
let in the draughts. Watch the work 
—make sure Neponset waterproof 
sheathing paper is used.
