OMPLETELY preserved and protected, naturally and scientifically, against all destructive influences, Bishopric Board lives indefinitely behind Stucco walls and supports them. It cannot deteriorate, hence cannot tear loose from its fastenings. There are never any repairs. Your Stucco building is up to stay, presenting an attractive, permanently unbroken surface.
A combination of principles ages-old in proven efficiency, Bishopric Board is the most economical and dependable Stucco background. It makes a damp-proof, fire-resisting building, thoroughly deadened against sound. Summer-coolness, winterwarmth, and low-heating bills are advantages of its use.
Used on interior walls instead of wood lath, it saves materials, time, and labor, and gives unmatchable insulation.
Bishopric Sheathing saves 30 per cent as compared to 7/8-inch wood sheathing, making a compact wall without joints or knot-holes.
All Architects and Builders should have our book, “Built on the Wisdom of the Ages”. It describes and details the use of Bishopric Board; illustrates homes and institutions on which it has been used; tells how to get perfect Stucco work. It contains reports of scientific tests and letters from engineers, architects, builders, and home owners. Get it—and samples of Bishopric Board and Bishopric Sheathing.

Built of Stucco on a Bishopric Board background, the walls of the Medford, Mass., Women’s Club are almost as imperishable as stone. Crumbling and cracking are prevented by Bishopric Board because when this dovetailed, Stucco Background is nailed firmly to studding or sheathing, it holds the Stucco in a bulldog grip that never lets go.
The dovetailed heavy wood strips lock the Stucco. The creosote preserves the wood strips. The mastic asphalt and the water-proof fibreboard keep out cold, dampness, vermin, and deaden sound.
