First 40 Houses; Then 10 Houses; Then 50 More Houses
Irvington, N. J.
Gentlemen:
Have specified and used your stucco board on some 40 or more houses built in the Weequahic Park section of Newark and elsewhere and have always obtained the best of results.
We did not hesitate to again use same on 10 houses of the 60 for the Mesa Housing Proposition that are now nearing completion at Irvington, N. J.
When your representative first spoke to us about your Bishopric Sheathing we kept it in mind. As you know, we ordered two carloads of it, enough for the other 50 houses for the above-mentioned Mesa Housing Proposition.
We are using it under shingles, wide and narrow clapboards, etc. Although somewhat skeptical at first about placing shingles over your sheathing, thinking it would be springy, we are no longer, this idea having long since disappeared. We find it everything ordinary sheathing could be and more. Being easy to handle, the carpenters liked putting it on.
Seeing its possibilities and the economy in using it, we will not hesitate to bring it to the attention of any of our clients who, in the future, expect to build. Yours truly,
Strombach & Mertens,
Engineers and Architects,
Victor H. Strombach.
An Engineering and Architectural firm which does big things in New Jersey has written us regarding its experience with Bishopric Sheathing on 50 houses it built in connection with the Mesa Housing Project at Irvington, N. J. Read the letter. It is more significant than anything else we could say about this modern Sheathing Board.
Note the list of institutions which have used Bishopric Sheathing either on Industrial Housing or Home Building
