EDISON PORTLAND CEMENT 85% Thru 200 98% Thru 100 C Eminent authorities all agree that the finer clinker is ground the better the cement. C It costs more to grind 10% finer than other brands, but— "WE DON'T CARE!" • 'FINENES f he finer a cement is ground, the bettor its quality. Water .icts only on the finer particles, while the coarser particles are almost always inert. The liner a cement is around the tjreater will be its covering cai»city; thoreforcj^the greater its value as a cementina material. To produce the greatest

blow or disintegrate than a coarse one, since the free or loosely combined lime, being in fine particles, is thoroughly broken up and readily rendered innocuous by the water when,it is addedided."—.

As approximately $200,000,000 worth of property is destroyed by fire every year in the United States, wouldn't Asbestic be a good plaster for you to specify? Its fireproof cjuality is only one of its good features. It is better than cirdinary plaster in every way. Our handsomely illustrated catalog will tell you why.

SAVING TROUBLE

There isn't one architect in fifty but will admit, without argument, that Red Lead is the best preservative for iron or steel. Knowing this, it is no wonder that so much Red Lead is used for the purpose. The only wonder is that anything else is ever used. The explanation given by the users of substitutes is that some of the inferior materials are easier to apply than good Red Lead. In other words, the very life of buildings, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, is dehberately put in jeopardy to save a little preliminary trouble. On the same theory whitewash should be substituted for paint in protecting woodwork. It would involve less trouble and expense. Let us tell you how to make Red Lead extremely practicable.

Spacious Interiors cannot be successfully floored with rubber tiling unless the individual tiles completely interlock. Because of the dimen• sions the " play " of the floor is so great that partially inter• locking tiles cannot preserve its unity. Nor can cementing of the tiles to the underfloor be resorted to. This prevents conformation to building strains and equal distribution of wear—one of the most valuable intents of rubber tiling. PENNSYLVANIA INTERLOCKING RUBBER TILING

•1 is the only tiling that completely interlocks. It is therefore the only floor material that imder all condi• tions of strain and service preserves in surfaces of large or small proportion a uniform and perfect integrity.
