MATERIAL FOUND
FOR SMALL HOME
Fire, Water and Weather.
proof Feature of LoW-Cost
Building Product.

The discovery of what its sponsors
herald as a new basic construction
and building material that bids fair to
revolutionize the construction of the
small home" is reported from Chicago.
The material, 1t is said, has been dem
onstrated to be completely fireproof"
not merely fire-resistant, withstand
ing the attack Of direct flames of gas
or blow torch for hours at q time"
It's insulating qualities are described
as being so great that the hand can
be pressed firmly against the top sur
face Of brick-size samples of this ma
terial subjected to torch heat with
perfect comfort. Its qualities of in
sulation are said to be equally as good
against sound and electricity.
The report on the material for
which no name was given continues:
THE new material is also water and
weather proof and so is equally serv-
iceable for both outside and inside
surfacing.
Architectural beauty Of design and
color Is entirely within the possibilities
because on the one hand it is as plastic
to any form or design of pattern and
mold as is clay or cement, and on the
count Of color, the entire palette of
color can be applied in water and
weather proof permanent form either
to its surface or to the texture of the
material itself in the making OF 1t.
Furthermore, it is workable as ordinary
hardwood is, will hold nails and screws
like oak, can be cut, sawed and planed
like wood, and by the use of a mastic
plaster made Of the same material as
the essential binder of this product.
sections can be joined securely and
smoothly without the use of cross
paneling.
Being so plastic and workable In
nature. the material becomes an ideal
material for the designing and pre-
casting of entire houses in more or less
standardized sections requiring only
to be assembled and joined together
on location
The low cost of the material itself
and of the construction cost OF build
ing with 1t lie first in the cheapness Of
the raw materials that compose it and
the low cost of the equipment and
labor required in its manufacture, and
after that in the great time and labor
saving in the actual construction of
the building itself. 1t becomes nothing
more than an assembling job. 1t is
claimed, therefore, that building costs
of small homes particularly will be re-
duced from 80 to 40 per cent, and
bring costs of upkeep, condition
ing, insurance, etc, down to minimumS
never before attained in small-home
construction
The same material is also adaptable
to many items Of commercial manu-
