a number OF different brands, most of
which are covered by patents.
The Egyptian Hard Wall Plaster is
the recent invention of II. G. McMillin,
manager of the Marietta Plaster Co.,
who are the exclusive manufacturers
of Egyptian Hard Wall Plaster in this
section of the United States. The
basis of all hard wall plaster is gyp-
sum rock. In addition to this the
Egyptian hard wall plaster has anoth-
er basis which Is covered by the pat
ent and which hardens with age and
is not affected by water. This is what
gives Egyptian harl wall plaster its
superior hardening and adhesive
qualities.
The gypsum rock used in the manu-
facture of this plaster is taken from a
gypsum mine near Gypsum, Va. 1t
lays in strata similar to coal and is
mined by the use of dynamite. The
rock is conveyed to the mill where it
is ground and pulverized to the fine
ness of -four by means of huge mill
stones similar to those used in -four
mills. 1t is then put through the
process of calcining, which consists in
eliminating all the moisture by plac-
ing it in large kettles over huge fires.
1t is then allowed to COOL after which

placed in the mixing machine. Ii Is
then ready for market.
The Egyptian hard wall plaster has
no equal. 1t spreads easier, will go
farther and is more economical than
any other plaster on the market II Is
the only hard wall plaster that will
not check or crack and its adhesive
qualities are such that the lath can not
buckle as it does with other plasters.
Its composition is such that 1t hardens
with age, and will withstand any
amount of water when once it is set.
Persons having plastering to do
should patronize home industry. and
at the same time get the best plaster
ever put upon the market.

Elizabeth NJ. Spies In connection with
a sketch for a trade mark in the re-

$4,000 in gold for the most appropri-
ate design.
To try its strength. just take nail,
And drive it through. 1t will not fail.
1t does not fall like that of old.
Which made our elders rave and
scold.
You'll find no grains of sand that fall;
No holes TO patch upon the wall;
1t does not drop from ceiling tall.
Egyptian plaster pleases all!
