Perfect NelO Process
For Gypsum, Plaster

The United States Gypsum Com
pany, Chicago. has perfected a new
process for the treatment of gyp-
sum plasters. The new plaster is
said to overcome difficulties that
have been encountered by builders
for years. The manufacturers prom
Use increased efficiency of plaster
workers and greater economy to
users.
The new process consists in seal
ing each minute particle of gypsum
against atmospheric moisture. The
plaster loses none of its sand-car-
ryfng capacity in storage and does
not go dead" It Is always fresh"
and therefore assures full overage.
1t takes the water in mixing with
great rapidity. and is said to dem
onstrate unusual Elasticity under
the trowel.
