THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 23 mazing lumber N 1926—PART 1. stops heat and cold and aciually saves moncy Now EVERY home can be summer-cool, wiriter-warm, quieter, at a saving. Celotex is practical for old and new houses alike. N amazing heat-stopping lumber has made house insulation practical! Architects and other building authorities urge its use. People everywhere are adopting it. In five years,more than 80,000 homes have been erected this modern way. These homes are cool in sum- mer ... warm in winter... healthful . . .quiet...econom- ical to keep up. They mark a new standard of American building practice. Formodern builders realize that wood, brick, plaster, concrete, etc., do not effectively keep sun heat out in summer or furnace heat fromleaking outin winter. A special insulating, or heat-stopping, material is needed., To meet this great need, Celotex In- sulating Lumber was produced five years ago. Celotex is not cut from trees. 1t is manufactured from the tough fibres of cane into broad, strong boards. These Celotex boards resist the passage of heat and cold many times as effectively as wood lumber, masonry and other wall Assheathing, Celotex supplies the insulation needed back of brick, wood or stucco ex- teriors. Here, it replaces the rough boards formerly used, gives greater strength to the Most heat enters the house through the roof in ild. On inside walls and ceili ter is appli summer, causing hot attics. Most heat leaks out B L b o e il b through the roof in winter, causing high fuel bills. Celotex applied over and under roof rafters gives the needed protection. Both uses are recommended. ing paper unnecessary. and roof materials. Celotex shuts out wind and moisture . . . quiets sound. How Celotex saves you money Unlike ordinary insulation, Celotex is not an extra item in building, It replaces wood lumber as sheathing, eliminates building paper, gives greater wall strength-and adds the insulation needed back of wood, brick and stucco exteriors at no extra cost. Under plaster, replacing lath, Celotex costs a few cents more per yard at first, THE CELOTEX COMPANY, CHICAGO, ILL. Mills: New Orleans, La. Canadian Representatives: Alezander Murray & Co., Limited, Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, "Vinnipeg, Vancouver Philadelphia Sales Office: 400 No. Broad St., Philadelphia, Pa. ALL LUMBER DEALERS.CAN SUPPLY CELOTEX directly to the surface of Celotex. This eliminates the use of lath and gives stronger, insulated walls; less apt to crack and free from lath-marks. but is a great economy in the end. It means less upkeep ex- pense because of nolath-marks ... fewer cracks. With the walls and roof of your house covered with Celo- tex a smaller, less expensive heating plant will keep you comfortable. And year after year, Celotex will save from 25% to 35% of your fuel bill! In houses already built, a big measure of this comfort and economy is being secured by lining attics and basements with Celotex. That helps a lot and costs but little. Look Ahead! Now that Celotex has made insulation practical, heat-leaking houses are a poor investment. The authorities say such houses are becoming obsolete: hard to sell, rent or borrow money on. Ask your architect, contractor or lumber dealer to tell you more about Celotex. Leaders in these lines advise its use. All lumber dealers can supply it.
