The 
Bostwick Steel Lath Co. 
Take the single item of plastered walls and ceilings. Do yon know 
the bitter cost of rej)airing cracks and breaks, and repainting or repa- 
l)ering after sagging, warping lath has ruined the original investment? 
For mansion and 
bungalow TRUSS- 
LOOP is the ideal 
wall-material, pro¬ 
tecting their beauty 
from disintegration, 
a n d safeguarding 
the investments 
from fire. The third 
illustration shows 
the application of 
TRUSS-LOOP to 
an interior wall. 
NIT.ES, OHIO. 
Let i/our plaster be applied once for all time. Insist on a backing 
of steel TRUSS-LOOP. Study the strip of TRUSS-LOOP at the 
foot of this page—note how the plaster can be forced in and out and 
around each arched truss, hardening to it in an inescapable, triple 
lock. Then realize that these sheets of trussed steel lath actually 
can’t yield, sag or warp—the arched loops prevent it. TRUSS- 
I.OOP is entirely different from any other latli, -wood or metal. The 
first cost is apparently higher, but the final cost—due to savings in 
labor, in framing and in studding—is lowest. The lasting perma¬ 
nence of TRL^SS-LOOP is all ]nire profit to you. 
Let us send you iUusfralive booklet xchich is sufficiently graphic to 
prove to anyone ichy TTtVSS-LOOP is the safest lath investment.

Heed that Warning/ 
V^/^ORKMEN know when shoddy materials are being 
^ ^ used. They know when paint and plaster are being 
hurried on to a wall in order to eonceal its tlimsiness. 
Heed their warning. Build your own home—select your 
own materials—and you can’t be hoodwinked into spend¬ 
ing your good, hard dollars on a “paper” house.
