White Houses Are Beautiful 
When White 
T he popularity of the white house which has been 
going forward by leaps and bounds, has fully come 
into its own since a material was found that makes it 
permanently white, stainless, and waterproof. 
is science’s answer to the white house problem. Here is a material that 
combines Medusa White Cement with Medusa integral Waterproofing, 
For exterior finish on concrete, hollow 
tile or metal lath its use insures a per¬ 
manent marble-white finish that will not 
stain or discolor and is absolutely water 
and damp proof. Medusa has the un¬ 
qualified endorsement of the country’s 
leading architects and contractors. 
The illustrations show the use of Medusa 
White Cement for the Residence of John 
C. Reid, Wheeling, W. Va. C. W. Bates, 
Architect; Wm. C. Baughman, Contrac¬ 
tor; and a Concrete Terrace on the J. B. 
Duke Estate, Somerville, N. j.. Bucken- 
ham & Miller, Architects; Richards & 
Gaston, Engineering Contractors. 
Write for illustrated booklets “The 
Medusa White House” and “Medusa 
Waterproofing.” They contain valuable 
information for the architect, contrac¬ 
tor and home builder. They show the 
artistic effects that can be obtained 
with a pure white waterproofed cement 
like Medusa. Write today.
