Bishopric Stucco Base used on Exteriors
Mr. Russell F. Barker, Architect, Hartford, Conn., says:
“Bishopric Stucco Base was used on the residence for Mrs. Wm. B. Greene with most gratifying results. This house is built in a very exposed location and has convinced me of the superior insulating qualities of this material.
“The fact that I have used Bishopric Stucco Base on my own residence is the best expression of my opinion of the material that I can give you. I use it exclusively for all stucco work on frame walls.”
Mr. Barker is one of the leading Architects in this country. He has specialized for years on the scientific methods of home construction whereby the greatest living comfort and permanent construction may be obtained; therefore he is recognized as “authority.”
It is a great tribute to “BISHOPRIC” that in the building of his own home he chose to use “BISHOPRIC” from among the many building materials available. Why did he do so? Because his EXPERIENCE proved to him conclusively it was the “best.”
We can give you names of numerous other Architects and Contractors, experts in their profession, who not only use “BISHOPRIC” constantly for their clients—but have used it in the construction of their own homes —in all sorts of climates and where the most extreme conditions had to be effectively and permanently provided for.
Few make mistakes when passing judgment on the basis of experience. Don’t experiment! In deciding to use “BISHOPRIC” in your home, you are judging by experience.
