THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, RADICAL, drastic change is taking place in the building of homes today! Already more than 90,000 homes have been built with an amazing lumber. A lumber that shuts out both the discomforts of sweltering’ Summer heat ... and the biting cold of Winter ... that keeps every room at a healthful, unvarying tempera- ture the year ’round...that cuts fuel costs by about ¥a. . These houses have set a wholly new standard of American building practice. Now that insulation has been made prac- tical, heat-leaking houses are a poor investment. The authorilies agree such houses are becoming ob- solete: harder to sell, rent or borrow money on. This amazing lumber is Celotex, developed five years ago to meet the urgent need for a building material that would resist the passage of heat and cold better than wood lumber, masonry and other wall and roof materials. : Celotex is not cut from trees, but is manufactured from the long, tough fibres of cane. It is enduring ... scientifically sterilized and waterproofed. Celo- tex is stronger in walls than wood lumber, because of the greater bracing angle of the broad boards, and many times better as insulation. Wood and mois- ture can not penetrate Celotex. It quiets noise. Y N .\ CTUALLY saves money. Thus, unlike orci- nary insulation, Celotex is not an extra item in building. It replaces wood lumber as sheathing A 'S S EHEEATHI NG Celoter is nailed direotly to the {ramework and supplios the insulation needed back of brick, wood or stucco exteriors. Here it . replaces the rough boards formerly used, gives groater strength to the Rouse walls and makes building paper unnecessary On inside walls and ceilings, plaster is ap- plied directly to the surface of Celoter This eliminates the use of lath and gives stronger,insulated walls: less apt tocrack and free from lath- marks. winter, IN THE ROOF Most heat beats into houses through roofs in summer. causing hot attios. Most heat leaks out through roofs in i Righ fuel bifls. Celotez applied over or ander roof rafters gives the needed protection. For best sesulte both uses are rec- emmended. D.

Saves Money 1 not cut from trees (see the illustrations) 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, but is a great econ- omy. It means less upkeep expense because of no lath-marks...fewer cracks. Plaster bonds with Celotex far better than it keys to lath. . Leading Washington builder features Celotex houses 3 building operations of the Ward- man organization.” Mr. Harry Wardman, Presi- dent of Wardman Construc- tion Company, Incorporakd, 1430 K Street, N. W., Real- tors and Builders, says: “Our engineering staff favors Cel- otex not only for its well- known insulating qualities but also for its variety of uses and ease of handling. It meets every requirement of our Construction Division acceptably, in addition to possessing other admirable qualities demanded in the One of Wardman's $32,500 residences at 3001 Woodley Road, N.{W. where, *'Celotex was eflectively used under the plaster. FOR OLD HOUSES In homes already built, a big measure of Celotex comfort and economy may be se- cured by lining atticsand basements with it. In the attic ansextra finished room can be made by nailing Celotex to the roof rafters. Inthe basement line ceil- ing with Celotex. : = Building Send the coupon for thefreeCelotexBuild- ing Book.

Winter-warm...Costs little or nothing more...and year after year will save from 25% to 35% of your fuel money! Because Celotex helps deaden noise it makes your home more quiet and restful. Moreover, with Celotex in the walls and in the ceilings or roof of your home, a smaller, less expen- sive heating plant and smaller radiators will keep you comfortable. And year after' year, Celotex will save from 25% to 35% of your fuel money! N DR ‘W COMFORT for old homes. In houses already built, a big measuré of this comfort and economy is being secured by lining attics and base- ments with Celotex. That helps a lot and costs but little. There are dozens of other places where Celo- tex is the ideal material for building and remodeling If you are going to build, talk with your archi- tect, contractor or lumber dealer about Celotex. Leaders in these lines advise its use. All lumber dealers can supply it. If you are going to buy see that Celotex is used before you put any money into a house. Now that Celotex has made insulation practical, heat-leaking houses are a poor investment. Also ask your con~ tractor or dealer about the $200.00 gold bond now issued on every Celotex-insulated house. THE CELOTEX COMPANY, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Mills: New Orleans, La.
