Economy and protection Is far
thered through the use of concrete'
block covered with Portland cement
stucco, Concrete tile might be used
also. This combination of concrete '
product makes the ideal building :
material for the city home.. Such
construction is proof against the
ravages of the elements, materials'
are to be found close at hand and
at prices which are moat attractive
to the buOder.
Such construction will not bora;

composed of concrete tile the beauty
of the home is enhanced and add!--tional
protection from fire assured.
