WHAT IS METAL LATH 
! Metal lath is sheets of steel mesh made in 
various types adapted to all plaster and stucco 
work. When the plaster is applied it is pushed 
through the mesh and forms an unbreakable 
bond with a key at every square inch of the 
plaster. 
Better Building —Metal lath has been used 
for thirty years in the best public buildings, 
hotels, theatres and residences. Metal lath is 
now in reach of everybody and everybody 
should use it. X 
Booklet on Request —Every one thinking of 
building or buying should be thoroughly in- 
formed on this vital subject. A booklet, not 
advertising, has been prepared, covering all the 
essential facts and will be sent on request.
