In the construction of a home like this one, of Mr. Geo. Gunther in Baltimore, neither pains nor price is spared to secure the very best material. And the architect, Mr. Otto G. Simonson, fully realized this when he specified for the stucco finish that lasting, gripping and wonderfully efficient background—
BISHOPRIC BOARD
The reason Bishopric Board has attained a leading position in stucco construction is because it combines, in one product, the oldest, simplest and best principles of scientific building.
Bishopric Board is convenient and economical to handle, saves labor in applying, and requires less stucco or cement to cover than other backgrounds.
And with these economies Bishopric Board anchors and welds the stucco to the building so securely that cracking and flaking off of properly mixed and applied material are unknown.
Note the construction of Bishopric Board in illustration below—creosoted dovetailed lath imbedded under terrific pressure in Asphalt Mastic on a background of heavy fibre-board.
The creosote preserves the lath; the dovetail locks the stucco so it can’t let go; the Asphalt Mastic on the fibre-board deadens sound and is proof against vermin, water and weather changes.
Bishopric Board satisfies owner, architect and builder, because it well and truly fulfills its purpose. Don’t build a stucco house without investigating its merits.
