T he creative tendency in modern archie 
tecture is sometimes curbed by limitations 
in the practical use of materials. 
This example of the use of Thatched " CREO- 
DIPT " Stained Shingles for this unusual and 
artistic home indicates the possibilities of using a 
present-day material developed in a scientific way. 
“CREO-DIPT” Stained Shingles for Thatched Roof 
solve the architect's problem of securing artistic effects. 
They are stained in weather-grey, moss-green or other 
color desired, bent and sawed so that ordinary work¬ 
men can lay easily by following our specifications. 
“CREO-DIPT” Stained Shingles are also furnished in 
Dixie-White, 24-inch length, for side walls. 
“CREO-DIPT” Hand-Rived Cypress Shingles are 
another specialty for side-wall material. 
And then there is the regular line of “CREO-DIPT” 
Stained Shingles, any color desired, standard grades 
for roof and side walls. 
A book of " CREO-DIPT" homes for regular work and a book of 
“ CREO-DIPT ” Thatched Roofs for thatched work give many pleasing 
examples of interest to home builders and architects. 
Working drawings of construction with standard 
specifications and instructions for design and construc¬ 
tion of Thatched Roofs will be furnished on request.
