Bishopric Stucco over Bishopric Base 
for wall construction inside and outside 
Bishopric Stucco 
The function of Bishopric Stucco over 
Bishopric Base is botli beautiful and 
practical. The beauty of stucco has long 
been acknowledged, and evidence going 
back to the civilizations of old tells of its 
indestructible character. 
The raw materials that go to make up 
Bishopric Stucco are available to all. 
The things that make it in a class by it¬ 
self are the science, skill, care and judg¬ 
ment which are worked into the raw 
stuff nature has freely given. 
Bishopric Stucco stands up under the 
punishment of heat, cold, rain, snow. It 
is fire-proof, water-proof, durable, eco¬ 
nomical, everlastingly beautiful. 
Here is a home of lasting satisfaction, beautiful, 
durable, “for all time and clime.” 
Its construction is insurance against high up¬ 
keep and depreciation, for the life of a Bishopric 
Stucco home cannot be reckoned by years— 
it is a matter of generations. 
A Bishopric home repels cold in winter making 
it more comfortable and effecting a saving in 
fuel; and it is cool in summer owing to the 
insulating qualities of the material. 
Bishopric Base 
A fiber-board of the finest quality is 
the foundation of Bishopric Base. This 
is heavily coated with asphalt mastic, 
air-tight, vermin-proof, fire-resisting. In¬ 
to this, bone-dry wood-strips are em¬ 
bedded under great pressure. The whole 
is Bishopric Base. 
Over this Base is applied Bishopric 
Stucco in its plastic state, locking into the 
grooves provided by Bishopric Base and 
forming a complete wall unit. 
Building construction is no longer a 
question of guessing about strength, as 
materials have been submitted to scien¬ 
tific tests. These tests have proved the 
Base of Bishopric to be many times 
stronger than the old style of sheathing 
and ordinary lath. 
Bishopric Base locks the stucco and makes 
sturdy, damp-proof walls. Bishopric Stucco is 
guaranteed to be water-proof and fire-proof. 
Its enormous tensile strength enables it to resist 
time and the elements.

Bishopric for all Time and Clime contains
