Does Cypress izLr Last ? ! 
Study These Photographs of an “Ingrowing l ence” 
WITHOUT A NAIL OR PEG IN IT. 
Below is a glimpse down a country highway 
(“de big road,” as Uncle Remus called it) 
near Monroe, Louisiana. That fence has no 
posts. It was built by forcing split Cypress 
boards between saplings. This occurred 
so many years ago that nobody knows when 
it was, nor 
who was the 
labor - saving 
genius w h o 
did it. Then 
the trees grew, 
and grew, and 
grew. 
NOW, PLEASE,

“THE PROOF OF THE FENC¬ 
ING IS IN THE LASTING .” 
in detail how the fence looks today. Note the size of 
the tree, and how deeply are embedded the ends of 
those old Cypress rails—no one can tell how deep 
they extend in. Note, also, how weathered they are, 
yet they ring true and sound under a hammer as 
though just hewn. Were those old Cypress boards 
somebody’s money's worth? Why should not YOU 
do as well with your lumber money—whether you 
are building a beautiful home or just patching up 
the old place? (USE CYPRESS.)

“Better he Safe than Sorry” 
Your frame house can be made practically fire 
proof by protecting the vulnerable points with 
Kno-Burn Metal Lath. 
Incombustible plaster, laid over this diagonal 
steel mesh, makes a fire-resisting wall that will bar 
the path of the hottest flame. Such construction 
has been given a one-hour fire rating by the Under¬ 
writers’ Laboratories. 
Your ceilings and walls won’t crack if you use 
Mne-fourn 
METAL LATH 
“The steel heart of plaster” 
instead of ordinary lath. You can enjoy that pleasure 
and pride in your home’s perfection for years and years. 
Free from cracked plaster and falling ceilings, your up¬ 
keep cost is lower. 
Information for prospective home builders tree in 
booklet form. Better be safe than sorry. Write for it 
today. 
Ask Your Builder 
or Architect 
to explain how Kno- 
Burn Expanded Steel 
Mesh reinforces the 
plaster in all direc¬ 
tions and prevents 
cracks. How, stucco 
over Kno-Burn steel, 
is best for safety 
sake and reduces fire 
risk. Or send for

plains in every detail.
