Bureauof Standards, Washington, D. C. 
If you would retain the beauty of the walls and ceilings 
of your home after the lapse of years, as smooth and

Standard, Painted. Its firm, trussed steel arches lock the 
plaster in a tenacious triple grip that holds “forever and 
aye and absolutely prevents cracking and sagging,
