Metal Lath 
And since you build not only 
for today, but for ten, twenty, 
thirty or more years from now, 
durability is as important, if not 
more so, than beauty. Build, 
therefore, of a substantial con¬ 
struction—specify metal lath for 
the base for your stucco. 
as a base for stucco is also a reinforcement 
—fire-resisting and lasting. The small 
diamond shape meshes grip the stucco 
firmly and hold it securely. 
Metal lath as a base for stucco and 
plaster represents the most economical 
form of fire-resisting construction. 
The Builder’s Book, a great help to the 
home builder, will be gladly sent you 
upon request.
