My Home is Gone / 
W ILL you ever have to say that? Will you 
ever have to look back on the home it took 
you so long to create—swept away in an hour by 
the fire peril that comes when you expect it least? 
And what about the children? Did they get out in 
time? 
Face that grim question now—before it is too 
late. On just such simple decisions rest a lifetime’s 
happiness. Do those whom you have brought into 
the world mean so little to you that you can afford 
to leave them in danger? 
Build throughout of NATCO HOLLOW TILE. 
While it costs more than criminally dangerous 
wood construction, with Natco you buy safety— 
everlasting safety for a sum so low that in a few 
years you get it back in lower coal bills and lower 
maintenance cost. 
Natco is the modern building material that made 
the skyscraper possible. Do your children deserve 
less safety than you get in your own office? Natco 
means lower coal bills—warmer in winter—cooler 
in summer, thanks to the blankets of dead air con- 
tained # in the tile. Natco is damp proof; vermin 
proof ; trouble proof—permanent and everlastingly 
safe. 
When you buy, ask “Is it Natco?” When you build 
say “I must have Natco.” Be safe. Fire comes when 
you expect it least. 
Send today for the interesting free 
32-page book “Fireproof Houses.” It 
contains photographs and descriptions of 
beautiful Natco residences designed by 
leading architects. And remember—it 
may save your life and the lives of those 
Made from clay—baked by fire 
it cannot be destroyed by fire 
vou love.

SILENT CLOSET 
So silently perfect in operation is 
the Si-wel-clo that it cannot be heard 
outside the bathroom. 
Built on the most sanitary principles—of china, 
vitrified and glazed so that soil will not cling to its 
surface. A damp cloth removes any trace of dirt. 
The came is true of our bathtubs, lavatories and 
other plumbing goods. Your entire plumbing 
should be of all-clay materials. You will find 
them ultimately economical, and the cost of in¬ 
stallation and fittings is the same as on the cheap¬ 
est. The "Star and Circle” trade-mark is your 
insurance of the best.

of Character. ” It shows the better way
