What’s 
behind the 
plaster ^ 
Cracked walls — 
sagging ceilings 
are a disfigurement 
you can’t conceal — 
A LL the time and care you 
L give to the decoration and 
upkeep of your home can be 
sadly marred if the plaster 
cracks or sags. Time was when 
the owner of a new home actu¬ 
ally expected setting to injure 
the plaster surface! 
Bostwick ended that with 
the invention of Bostwick 
metal lath, the steel backing 
which makes plaster perma¬ 
nent. Plaster, when trowelled 
into the rigid loops and 
unyielding steel trusses of 
“Truss-Loop,” hardens in a 
grip which only a hammer can 
loosen. Even the rough-and- 
tumble usage of a college 
dormitory doesn’t wreck a 
“Truss-Loop” wall. 
In case of fire Bostwick 
“Truss-Loop” stands as a 
sturdy fire-retardant against 
the sjiread of flames. 
No matter with how strict 
economy of first investment 
von are building vour home 
you can use “Truss-Loop” 
metal lath, as less worthy sub¬ 
stitutes cost approximately 
the same today.
