Your Duty to Yourself Neighbor 
Build for safety. 
Fire is an awful thing. You dare not imperil your loved ones by 
housing them in a combustible structure. And your conscience will 
not let you thus menace your neighbors’ safety. 
Our frightful annual fire loss can only be reduced by punishing 
carelessness and by the wide spread use of fire-resisting construction 
materials such as 
Mno-Rurti 
Metal Lath 
KNO-BURN used as a support for exterior stucco and interior 
plastering literally puts a flame resisting heart of steel in your ceil¬ 
ings and walls. It gives you and your community a high degree of 
fire protection. With KNO-BURN Metal Lath and non-combusti¬ 
ble roofing you can build a fire safe house. 
Moreover, it prevents plaster from cracking or discoloring. Its small 
diamond shaped meshes thoroughly reinforce it in every direction. 
Your house will last longer if you use KNO-BURN Metal Lath. 
Consult your architect. Ask him to design you a safe home using 
KNO-BURN Metal Lath. We will gladly send you or him a copy 
of “Fireproof Construction” also samples of KNO-BURN.
