The permanence and lasting beauty of this dwelling 
was insured by laying the stucco over metal lath 
Stucco will remain firm and last 
indefinitely without cracking when 
applied to an enduring base of 
metal lath. 
Home builders are beginning to realize 
the important part that metal lath plays 
in producing permanent stucco construc¬ 
tion and smooth and lasting plastered 
walls and ceilings. 
It means paying more at the start 
but the low upkeep expense soon 
saves the higher first cost. 
Kno-Bum Metal Lath will endure as long 
as the building stands. Its use reduces 
the cost of repairs, upkeep and heating 
expense.
