is ASLEEP 
Just on the other 
side of that wall! 
The curtain blows 
into the lamp—flares 
up like lightning—and 
in five minutes the 
whole room is ablaze, 
with the flames licking greedily at the walls. 
There they STOP. The fire cannot go beyond 
that one room. The house is built throughout of 
NATCO • HOLLOW • TILE 
For a nominal expenditure over criminally dangerous wood 
construction, one home builder has bought absolute safety. 
That extra expenditure he gets back in a few years by the 
resulting economies in maintenance and insurance. 
His home is permanent, beautiful, and safe. His walls 
are built of the big and permanent Natco Hollow Tile units, 
with decorative stucco outside and plaster inside adhering 
to the patented dovetail scored surface of the tile. There 
is no lath—no furring. There is no cracking of walls and 
ceilings from expansion and contraction. 
Flis house is cooler in summer and warmer in winter— 
saving coal bills—thanks to the blanket of dry air contained 
in the cells of the tile. It is vermin proof and damp proof—- 
sanitary, modern, livable in the best and most complete sense. 
The greatest architects agree that 
Natco is ideal for home building, 
large or small. Send ten cents for 
the 32-page book, “Fireproof 
Houses,” and see what beautiful 
homes other discriminating people 
have built of Natco. It is your build¬ 
ing material—be sure you get the 
genuine bearing the “Natco” imprint 
—for comfort, economy and safety.
