Stucco Can’t Crack on Bishopric Board 
Residence of Rev. E. O. Tree, Roosevelt Place, Freeport, L. I., N. Y. Designed by 
owner. Builder, F. D. Smith, Baldwin, L. I., N. Y. Bishopric Stucco Board used. 
The stucco finished home is beautiful, artistic, most appropriate and, if properly con¬ 
structed, wonderfully lasting. Age but adds to its charm and gives it that delightful 
“homey” appearance. 
But age will cause stucco to crack and peel off and play havoc with the finish unless, 
first, the right stucco mixture is used and, second, the stucco is applied on a back¬ 
ground that time and tempest will not loosen or cause it to let go of either building 
or stucco. 
Such a background is Bishopric Board. Notice how it is constructed. 
The dove-tail lock clinches the stucco. The creosoted lath imbedded in Asphalt Mastic 
on a background of heavy fiber-board is fire-resisting; water, weather and vermin 
proof, and a non-conductor of heat, cold and sound. 
Engineering tests have proved Bishopric Board to be the most rigid background for 
stucco made. It can’t break from its fastenings, sag, and cause the stucco to crack 
and flake off. 
Mix your stucco according to directions we furnish, apply it 
properly, and it will last as long as the building. More than that, 
it will lenghten the life of the building. 
Don t experiment—use Bishopric Stucco Board that Experience, 
based on the wisdom of ages, unqualifiedly recommends.
