Hollow tile walls properly laid UP
have high degree Of integral in
sulation and resist the penetration
OF dampness.
These qualities were first rscog-
nized by the United States Govern
ment in It's large building program
during the late war. In the construc-
ton of warehouses, arsenals, hospi-
tails and homes. hollow tile was Used
throughout. The Government fully
realized the necessity of permanent
fireproof buildings which required
the minimum of upkeep and which
had no depreciation.
People have long harbored the
false Illusion that permanent con-
structioY1 was far above the aver
age pocketbook. but 1t has been con-
clusivefy proved that home of
hollow tile costs at the most. but
little more than inferior construc.
ton. and as hollow tile comes in
large units the speed OF consrtuc-
ton is materially increased and the
cost of labor is proportionately de-
creased.

Owners-to-be have gone deeply
into the proposition and arrived at
the conclusion that payments for
upkeep and depreciation are vital
points to be considered and. al
though the initial investment will
naturally be larger. the subsequent
expenditure on home constructed
of permanent materials are so much
smaller that over period Of years
the flimsiIy built home is by far
the most expensive.
