 MAKING CONCRETE. WATERPROOF BRICK

The Arizona Shope Concrete Brick company, company organized for the manufacture of waterproof, faced concrete brick made under the Shope patented process, is officered by these prominent business men of the city: Celora M. Stoddard, president; Har- ry Kay. vicc president; and A. J. Kis- selburgh, secretary.
 The personal visit of the officers to Portland. Ore, where these brick have been manufactured for over ten years. convinced them that a plant of this kind would be a success in Arizona for various reasons. One important factor is the elimination of freight rates and the utilizing of home materials and giving to the public at home a product which all know Is essential in any community.
 The companys plant is located at 729 East Jackson street, having ade- quate facilities to supply the build- ing demand for the product, together
 with railroad facilities for shipping.
 Orders were received immediately upon the opening of this plant and several buildings have already been built of the brick Knowing and real izing that the public would be bet ter served by displaying the prod = ucts of the company. it was deemed advisable to open a display room at 2o5 North Central avenue for the convenience of prospective purchas- CTS and builders.
 The first impression one gets on visiting this show room is it's artistic appearance. The walls are built in panels. displaying thu various types
 and finishes of brick, showing a large | joint, a medium joint and light l L.. Afffar-n1 rDlnrnI flnTrHFS. A pergola extending across the back of the room gives the exterior effect and the opposite of the room displays [ an elaborate fireplace designed or | Shope brick and Shope tile.
 An additional feature that will ap- peal to the building public in Arizona | is the hollow wal construction the l company is featuring. Instead or using a solid inch wall, a F inch brick is used on a F inch wall with 1 only two courses of inch brick, which gives a inch air space that 1 serves to keep a building warm in | winter and cool in the summer The | tying in of the wall with F inch ! brick gives the necessary strength | that will meet all city building speci- | fications. Another feature is the fact ! that the face being waterproof wlu
 eliminate the absorption or moisture . into the wall.
 D. r. Shope of Portland, Ore, mas conquered what many others have failed to accomplish. He has per feeted equipment and method oi ! manufactu whereby a brick can be | made of cement with an absolutely ! waterproof face. The company can match any shade or color and pro-
 duce a brick with a smooth or rouSn surface. The mere fact that this has been accomplished has given to the
 buying public something long de
 sired. The brick cannot be com
 pared with semi dried hollow bloct or tile. They are guaranteed 10 nave !, an ultimate crushing strength or
 from 900 to ] 4.000 pounds per square inch and to make e waterproof ana sanitary building. The brick have an individuality and a variation o
 ornamentation that make them wor'
 thy of the name of first class build l ing material.
 l To pass intelligently upon thes'
 products requires thorough inspec
 ton and comparison with other tirs class materials. The company in- 1 vites the public to visit its displa' room at POS North Central aNenu
