The Beauty and Economy 
of the Face Brick House 
If the beauty and durability of the Face Brick house have made 
an appeal to you, it will be reassuring for you to know that it is 
also, in the long run, the most economical house you can build. 
The Face Brick house costs less per year to own. Every year there 
are savings in repairs and painting, in insurance rates and fuel bills. 
The Face Brick house depreciates almost imperceptibly; it retains 
a high resale value. These matters are all discussed in detail in 
“The Story of Brick.” For your copy, address American Face 
Brick Association, 1721 Peoples Life Building, Chicago, Illinois.
