The Stucco House of Superior Quality 
is Built Throughout of BISHOPRIC 
S TUCCO is smartest in style and unquestionably the most satisfactory type 
of house to build today. Stucco lends itself to artistic architectural effects 
in greater variety than any other form of building construction. The Stucco 
house is a practical success, also, even when built by old-fashioned methods. 
Since the invention of BISHOPRIC, however, the stucco house has truly become 
the house de luxe in every quality that goes to make the ideal home. 
A stucco house built of BISHOPRIC is enduring. It will last for genera¬ 
tions with no “cost of upkeep.” It has extraordinary strength and is impreg¬ 
nable against that insidious yet most dangerous foe to good housing—moisture. 
Moisture shortens the life of most buildings and imperils the health of the occu¬ 
pants. 
A home is a place in which to live—to be comfortable, to sleep and rest and 
entertain—in which to raise children in health and happiness. 
A stucco house, built throughout of BISHOPRIC, as illustrated in sketch at the side, provides the utmost 
maximum, within practical limits, of comfort. A study of this drawing, showing the three layers of asphalt mastic 
in the walls and the two layers of dead air space (the best method of insulation known to builders) and the 
super-excellent combination of asphalt and dead air space insulation of the floors and ceilings indicates how 
impossible it is for moisture to circulate. There is no danger of dampness causing plaster to fall, nor is there 
any annoyance from the transmission of noise from street to house, floor to floor, room to room. Warmth is 
kept inside in winter and heat outside in summer by reason of those double walls of dead air space and those 
triple walls of sound-deadening, weatherproof asphalt mastic. 
While BISHOPRIC was designed first for superiority, actual practice has proved 
that a BISHOPRIC built house costs decidedly less than stucco and frame houses built by 
old-fashioned methods. We have prepared “Bishopric For All Time and Clime” a book¬ 
let for you, containing facts and figures, and illustrated with photographs of beautiful 
houses built with Bishopric stucco, plaster and sheathing units. Ask for it.
