What Kind of Foundation?
IF you are going to erect a building on unstable ground or where there is any doubt about the permanency of ordinary wooden piles or possible settlement of spread footing, you should certainly investigate
RAYMOND CONCRETE PILING
“Permanent as the Pyramids”
Our method assures perfection in every pile. They are absolutely monolithic. No driving on the concrete. Not necessary to reach water line, thus saving in excavation and masonry.
Raymond Concrete Piling now supports many important buildings in this country.
We will gladly furnish alternate plans and estimate of cost upon receipt of necessary data.

Neponset Waterproof Papers
FOR
Wall Sheathing
A first-class insulation against heat in summer and cold in winter
THEY ARE THICKER, STRONGER AND MORE WATERPROOF THAN OTHER SHEATHING PAPERS.
THEREFORE THEY GIVE BETTER RESULTS AND FOR A LONGER TIME.
Neponset Red Waterproof Paper
FOR
Backplaster Work
Architects for many years have specified it for this purpose because it does not draw away from the studding as ordinary backplaster will.
