ivory, peach, yellow. green. blue,
royal blue, orchid and black, with
simulated mortar lines in contrast
ing colors. holdings to cover the

quire no mailing, no furring strips,

nings usually associated with new
walls. The sheets may be held to
walls, ceilings or other fiat surfaces
by a special waterproof mastic rec
commended by the makers Of the
wallboard. The cement should be

tions printed on the can.

panels cost from 20 cents to 30 cents

you live. The cement is supplied at
