Can you put confidence in metal lath that 
had to be pounded loose from the plaster after 
eight years of service in a Chicago depart¬ 
ment store? Then you can be sure that 
Expanded Metal Lath 
is well worth insisting upon as a base for plaster or 
stucco walls in your house. Plaster work is depend¬ 
ent upon the bond between it and the lath that holds 
it. The mesh of Kno-Burn completely imbeds itself 
in the plaster. It never fails to grip. 
We are offering home builders a complete treatise 
on house construction with floor plans, illustrations 
and comparative cost figures. You will find it of vital 
interest. It is called “Practical Homebuilding.”
