W HETHER it’s old or just built it needs this coat¬ 
ing. Here’s why: If your house is new, the 
concrete, brick or stucco walls are just as you want them 
—bright, clean, attractive. You’re proud of their looks. 
But—doesn’t every rain make you uncomfortable.^ 
Wondering whether they’ll look the same when it’s 
over.^ Whether the water is seeping in? Whether 
blotches are appearing? 
If your house shows marks of time, you long for the newness 
which has worn off. You envy the appearance of the new house 
across the way. That^s why you need Bay State Coating. It 
makes the oldest walls new—makes them waterproof and just the 
color you desire. It comes in white and a variety of tints. Send 
for our interesting booklet, No. 2, showing and telling about 
houses and buildings made new with a coat or two. Tell us what 
tint you want and we’ll send a sample,

A Stucco Building That Lasts 
the illustration below of Bishopric Board. Note how the Stucco is dovetailed into the lath. 
The Stucco and Bishopric Board are practically welded together into one solid piece. The Stucco 
can t let go—it’s clinched to the lath. Tlie lath are creosoted, imbedded in Asphalt Mastic on a 
pacKground of hea\-y fibre-board. Nails through each and every laUi hold the Stucco Board firmly 
to the frame-work. 
Bishopric Board can’t sag and crack the Stucco. 
The fibre-board. Asphalt Mastic and creosoted 
lath give absolute protection against heat and 
cold, wind and weatlier. They form a construc¬ 
tion that is water-proof, vermin-proof and sound¬ 
proof. 
Bishopric Board is making Stucco finish more 
popular. It is providing a background that is 
dependable —that prevents unsightly cracks and 
breaks and that gives added life to tiie entire 
structure. 
That is why Bishopric Board was chosen for the 
Cincinnati Golf Club House shown above—why 
architects, contractors, builders and owners all 
over the country, who take the trouble to inves¬ 
tigate its merits, specify and use Bishopric Board.
