Note the truss formed 
by the unique ‘ioop.” 
The arch-s t r u e t u r e 
forms a rigid, unyield¬ 
ing backing for plaster 
and stucco, preventing 
surface-fissures. The ex¬ 
clusive trii)le-grip holds 
lath and plaster in an 
inseparable bond. 
The strength of 
TRUSS-LOOP is so 
great that it saves 
money in framing and 
furrina 
Complete descriptive 
literature gladly s u b- 
mitted on request. 
S HORT-LIVED construction—which a few years 
ago assumed almost the proportions of a national 
crime—is rapidly becoming an e.xtravagance of the 
past. 
The wise home builder now builds with far¬ 
sighted caution—looking to the future when unfore¬ 
seen conditions may place his home on the market. 
The bitter lesson of terrific depreciation has been 
well learned. 
BOSTWICK TRUSS-LOOP, the distinctive 
metal lath illustrated in the border and described in 
the panel, has grown in popularity by leaps and 
bounds as wise home-building has become general. 
It performs a double service—guarding wall and 
ceiling surfaces from costly cracks, splits and settling, 
and standing as a sturdy and ever-present retardant 
of fire.
