House & Garden 
Make 
Your Property 
More Valuable 
An unsightly basement 
window, damaged by the 
careless coal man, not only 
spoils the looks of your 
building, but depreciates its 
property value. 
A MAJESTIC Coal 
Chute can be installed eas¬ 
ily in place of any basement 
window or built into new 
foundations. It will outlast 
the building and increase its 
value.

Coal Chute

sidewalks—lawn, etc., from 
coal smudge and damage, 
and improves the appear¬ 
ance of your property. 
Locks automatically — abso¬ 
lutely burglar-proof — glass 
door affords ample light to 
basement and can only be un¬ 
locked from inside.

I Have you a puzzling f 
house problem? 
“ I’ve just stood my hallway for years! 
It’s dark, and cold, and there’s a walnut 
hatrack that would depress a blind man. 
.... 7 have a lovely old black lacquer 
table that I feel just belongs there, but 
unless you can give me wall-paper, rug, 
lamp suggestions to bring in color and 
light, I can’t use it. You always sound 
so cordial, that I’ve ivorked up my cour¬ 
age to present my problem to you. Am 
I a bother?” 
W ELL, was she? Certainly not. That’s our 
mission in life—to reform hallways, com¬ 
fort distressed ladies, and find the right 
vocation for miscast furniture. Every day we 
get dozens of such inquiries. We answer 
them all. 
You see, we aim to cover in House & Garden 
from month to month the greatest possible 
number of these problems of building, in¬ 
terior decorating and gardening that have 
been worrying you. But every such problem 
can’t be solved through the pages of the 
magazine, because many of them call for indi¬ 
vidual advice. 
The Information Service fills this gap. It is 
the answer to the personal question, the par¬ 
ticular difficulty that is yours, and yours 
alone. We have, right at our New York 
doors, the best architects, decorators, shops 
and shoppers, gardeners and landscape archi¬ 
tects. Their advice is at your disposal; your 
questions addressed to the Information Ser¬ 
vice will receive their personal attention and 
reply. Next time you don’t know what to 
buy—or where to put it when you have it, ask:

Bishopric Plaster Board 
Stucco finish can now be made lasting 
and economical. How? 
Apply it properly on a background of Bishopric 
Board. Those dovetailed joints between the 
lath clinch tlie stucco—it can't let go! And 
nails through every lath hold the Stucco Board 
securely to the building. There is no breaking 
away and sagging, causing the stucco to crack 
and chip off. 
The lath in Bishopric Board are crcosoted and 
imbedded in Asphalt Mastic on a background 
of heavy fibre board, making a fire-resisting 
combination that is proof against vermin, 
changes in temperature and moisture. 
Bishopric Board, un¬ 
der the severest scien¬ 
tific tests and in 
actual use, has proved 
its superiority.
