The Adamant company, which was
Incorporated in 1900, Is meeting ths
requirements of the plaster trade,
and its plant at the foot of Fifteenth
street Is furnishing hard wall plas
ter which is rapidly superseding th
now antiquated lime and sand wall
plasters. The Adamant company was
the first to Introduce the use of this
hard wall plaster In the Pacific
northwest, and its honest efforts to
supplant the old fashioned wall
filaster with a product that Is prac
Ically indestructible are already
crowned with success. This com-
fiany's hard plasters grew rapidly

this plaster is properly applied it
dries evenly and quickly, becoming
very hard and producing a wall with
a minimum of cracking tendency
and a maximum of hardness. The

buildings of any importance.
The Adamant company is purely a
