Wliat a Wonderful Inspiration 
for a Home 
I N a year or so, he (yes, it's 
a boy) will want a place 
to romp around in—a 
back yard where he can play 
cowboy and chase Indians or 
dig a well. He must run and 
play and shout in order to de¬ 
velop into the fine type of 
manhood his parents so great¬ 
ly desire. 
A home of their own is the 
answer, which means a play 
ground for him —free from the dan¬ 
ger of the speeding automobile. It 
means a room for his toys. It means 
more than this—lasting neighbor¬ 
hood friendships, a feeling of peace 
and security, a heritage in later 
years, a home he always will want 
to come back to. Isn’t he worth that? 
Yes, a home is worth almost any 
sacrifice. 
A Heritage for Your Children 
It's the materials of which the 
home is built and the way it’s built 
which determine whether you’ll be 
proud of your home in years to come 
and how much of a heritage it will 
mean for your children. 
Note the sturdy construction of Ideal 
ALL-ROLOK Brick Wall, with its 2Vi 
inch webs and ventilated air space

Today you can build of brick— 
the most beautiful, economical and 
satisfactory material for the family 
who wishes to make a moderate in¬ 
vestment in a home—and provide a 
heritage for your children. 
A system of brick hollow wall 
construction has been recently de¬ 
veloped, known as the Ideal Wall 
which is the lowest in cost of any 
type of wall construction, be it wood 
or masonry. 
How Ideal Walls Are Built 
Many variations are permitted 
in Ideal Wall construction. The 
width, color and treatment of the 
mortar joint, the color of the mortar 
and the texture of the brick all have 
an effect on the wall appearance. 
Ideal Walls are produced with 
standard brick, such as are made 
in every section of the United 
States. Every prospective builder 
should consider this combination. 
It saves money while producing a 
beautiful, permanent and fireproof 
structure. Ideal Walls are the 
dryest and warmest walls possible 
to build. 
A Valuable Book for Home 
Builders 
There is a 72-page book called 
“Brick, How to Build and Esti¬ 
mate,” which contains the 
most valuable of facts for 
home builders. It is so very 
practical and helpful that 
nearly 30 prominent schools 
and colleges consult it as a 
reference work. This book 
is published by The Common 
Brick Industry of America, 
1303 Schofield Building, 
Cleveland, Ohio, and sells 
for only 25 cents.
