x You often hear the ex-
preston applied to per-
~ son, but have you ever
heard it applied to a house? Have
you ever seen a house that was good
to look at that did not perform pretty
well, too? OF course not. The reason
is that, with houses. beauty and per-
formance usually increase in the same
proportion.
A strong campaign to make utili-
tartan things decorative has resulted
in host of aids to the home builder
in his effort not to build a beautiful
and dumb house. One of the most
interesting is wallboard which both
insulates and adds an attractive in
terror finish to room.
If you are finishing of your third
floor or making play room in the
cellar, you couldn't do better than use
this new board, which has a smooth
surface, although it looks textured. 1t
Is made by a manufacturer Of cork
products and has high-temperature

quality Yet the pleasant wall it pre-
sents to the view of your guests is
attractive enough in its own right to
keep any one from guessing its double
nature.
Available in six forms-as boards,
planks, panels. tiles, border strips or
batten strips-this board arrives all
ready for installation in six delicate
colors. No additional painting Is re-
quired, If you like-as who wouldnt?-
one of the six colors-white, ash,
cream, walnut, green and natural.
The surface is as smooth as wall
paper to your touch. From a distance
of feet you'd swear it was rough
textured board.
OF course you can use this material
even where you have no need for In
sulation, since its smart appearance
is worth its cost all by itself. 1t comes

sheathing; the tiles are applied tn
ceilings sometimes instead of plaster,
