a Fire-sa£e 
Home 
of Enduring 
Beauty 
Fortune smiles on those 
who plan a home. The free¬ 
dom of it—the pride of pos¬ 
session— the privacy, com¬ 
fort and economy of living 
under your own roof quick¬ 
en the purpose to achieve 
and multiply the joys of ex¬ 
istence. 
Large or small, your home 
should reflect substantial 
beauty and the glow of com¬ 
fortable family surround¬ 
ings. And you must know 
that its maintenance, fuel 
bills, and depreciation in 
value, will each be low. 
This is now easily possible. Build 
the home of Concrete masonry 
units finished with portland cement 
stucco. 
Concrete brings its abundant 
strength to a new union of old mate¬ 
rials; stucco made with pordand 
cement adds charm and refinement 
— humanizing this strength with 
warm fines, soft tones and pleasing 
finish. This combination of mate¬ 
rials makes a home that is weather¬ 
proof, fire-safe and maintenance- 
free at near the cost of ordinary con¬ 
struction.
