for the
STUCCO HOUSE
of
Superior Quality
T
HE stucco house, when built throughout of BISHOP­ RIC, as illustrated in the sketch at the side, provides the utmost, within practicable limits, of strength, insulation, satisfaction and comfort.
A study of the drawing, showing the three layers of asphalt mastic in the walls and the two layers of non-circulating air space and the super-excellent combination of asphalt and non-circulating air space insulation of the floors and ceilings indicates how impossible it is for moisture to penetrate. The elastic asphalt mastic seals itself about the nails and prevents rust and the seepage of moisture. Warmth is kept inside in winter and heat outside in summer by reason of those double walls of air space and those triple walls of sound-deadening, weatherproof asphalt mastic.
While BISHOPRIC was designed first for superiority, actual practice has demonstrated that a BISHOPRIC built
house costs decidedly less
