UESDAY, APRIL 8,-1919..” BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE ERE are two houses — identical in e t, EXCEPT ONE. very respec They are built on lots that cost the same; they have the same number of rooms; are exactly the same in size; and have the same exposure to wind and weather. You ‘would insist that they are exactly the same, but they are as different as night and day. One is uncomfortable practically the year ‘round and a source of constant expense; while the other is always comfortable and maintained at a minimum of expense. One is cold in winter — the other warm and cozy. One cannot be kept warm with 12 tons of coal — the other is comfortable, no matter what the temperature, and requires only 8 tons. One is kot all summer — the other cool and pleasant. So you will agree that one is a “good buy” while, the other is, in the parlance of the street, a “lemon.”. Yet if you were given your choice between them you would be just as liable to pick the poor one as the good - one, unless you knew me story of Flaxlinum. winter weather. experimental. involved in the principle of insulating , FAOR the difference between these. two “houses. is Flaxlinum. The house you would want is insulated with Flaxlinum—the other is not. Insulating houses against heat and cold is simply applying the principle of insulation i in refrigeration to the building of homes. Flaxlinum in the walls and*roof of a house means that neither Heat nor cold can pass through 'them.: For years the best refrigerators have been insulated with Flaxlinum. Refrigerator cars lined with it bring perish- able fruit to you all the way from California in the coldest So you see there is nothing new ‘or houses. It remained for one of the great refrigeration authorities of the country to see that this principle could be applied to house construction. With the result that you may have a house that is comfortable the yéar.’round: “no work ying about cold in winter or heat in summer. 4 You’can see that the insulation which keeps out the cold in winter also keeps out the heat in summer. It prevents the cold or heat ir the outside air fromm going through your walls. You may. argue that ‘you can keep your house warm withgut ‘laxlinum. But if your walls were insulated with _ it, you could maintain the same temperature with from 30% to 40% less fuel. A saving that in a few seasons would. more than pay the cost of the insulation. These illustrations show how Fiaxlinum is flanged to fit between the studding in the sidewalls of a house. Note the double air Space. No special frame required. No special construction. . Tt is s Cheaper to Build a Warm House Phar to Heat a Cold. NORTHERN: ‘INSULATING COMPANY, St. Paul, Minn. i Flaxlinum is Within the Reach of All Home-Builders It is becquse of this added comfort and fuel economy that ithe use of Flaxlinum has increased tremendously. eath year, There are today houses equipped with I laxlinum in practically every community.in the. Middle West and Northwest. Af you are thinking of building lef'ts'send you the names of home-owners in your locality who have used it. Their experience will tell you that you cannot afford to build - without Flaxlinum either from the standpoint of economy or comfort. A layer of Flaxlinum one-half inch thick, the thickness in which it is ordinarily used, is equivalent tn heat and cold resistance to four solid inches of back plaster, or to thirty thicknesses of building paper. ~ It is better than back plaster because it will not crack when the building settles. Flaxlinum Makes Double Air Space in the Walls Flaxlinum is flanged: to fit ‘between the ‘studding, as shown in the illustration below, formir 7 double air spaces in the walls. This method of application i is the only suc- cessful method of house insulation. There are no cracks to permit the passage of heat and cold. No special frames are required. No changes in the details of your house construction are necessary. You. can apply F faxlinum LACAN MMM CMSA Flaxlinum: is sold by leading building material dealers everywhere.

Flaxlinum is used in the walls and roof of a house. Roof insulation is important for that’s where the summer sun strikes hardest and where mos bof the heat escapes in winter. é Here are Some of the Things that Flaxlinum Does Saves 30% to 40% of your fuel bill. Keeps your house warm in winter. Keeps it cool in the summer. Keeps out the noise the year around. Used as floor deadening in school houses and apartments, it shuts out noise from the floors above or below. Makes warm farm buildings, garages or any other buildings where warmth is required.

It will make a powerful difference in your coal bill—to say nothing of its being more liveable.
