A Terrible Experience 
Proved the Value 
of METAL LATH 
“One night last winter, I awakened with a feeling 
of impending danger, I smelled SMOKE! 
“I awakened Will. He rushed down stairs—I 
after him. Hot, acrid smoke blinded and choked us. 
We rushed to the basement door. The place was a 
seething inferno. Our furnace had overheated and 
set the house afire. 
“There was nothing to bar the path of those 
flames. We rushed upstairs to the children. The 
efforts of the firemen were fruitless. In almost no 
time our home was gone. It burned like match wood. 
“Experience is an expensive teacher. We learned 
our lesson—but at what a price. In our new home 
we are using 
^nc-^um 
METAL LATH 
"The steel heart of plaster" 
for fire protection over the furnace, around the chimney, under 
stairs and around the stair wells and over the hot air outlets. 
We’re also safeguarding the plaster against cracks by using this 
steel plastering base in the corners of all rooms and around the 
doors and windows. 
“I cannot tell how much safer we feel knowing that we have 
maximum protection in our new home.”
