THE BOSTWICK STEEL LATH CO. 
NILES, OHIO 
the Distinctively Different Steel Lath 
Cracking, sagging and falling- plaster is not 
the fault of the plaster itself. Use TRUSS- 
LOOP and i/ou must actually chip or shatter 
the plaster to separate it from the lath. 
Look at the illustration—see for yourself 
how the plaster “entwines itself” around and 
through the arches and trusses. Then note the 
smaller illustration which shows a man balancing 
a sheet of TRUSS-LOOP which, because of the 
truss principle, is rigid. If TRUSS-LOOP cant 
bend or sag and the “triple grip” can’t let go of 
the plaster, doesn’t it seem reasonably safe to be¬ 
lieve that a wall or ceiling plastered on TRUSS- 
LOOP is permanent? 
Would ca pocket-size piece of 
Tkuss-Loop interest you? We 
gladly send these to House & Gar¬ 
den readers who are planning to 
huild new homes or remodel their 
present residences. In wi-iting, 
kindly mention which jmu have in 
mind.

Stucco 
Too 
Stucco is “piaster” on a 
large scute, so far as lath¬ 
ing is concerned. 
Bostwick Steel 
Lath insures its 
p e r m a n e n c e as 
an investment. 
D ON’T think —as some people do—that it 
is dangerous to paint or paper your walls 
before you have lived a while in your new 
home. That day has passed—if you take the 
precaution of using TRUSS-LOOP to back up 
your walls and ceilings.
