In the Homasote Handbook-Page 13-the first paragraph reads

"Note from the above diagram that a l4-foot wall requires 3r/z Iov-foot sheets, and there are three joints. At every joint it is necessary to use two rows of nails and a batten strip. \(ith Homasote Big Sheets the wall is covered in one piece, there are no joints and only one-half as many nails are required. In the average house, Homasote Big Sheets eliminate 22 joints per thousand square feet of wall or ceiling surface. To buy molding strips for those joints, nail them on, countersink the nails, putty up the nail holes and paint, far ixceeds the difference in cost of Homasote. Unquestionably, it is 'cheaper on the wali'."

This paragraph is immediately followed by data on the strength, moisture-resistance, weatherproofness and resistance to air infiltration which make Homasote both efficient and economical as an insulating-building board.

This constitutes one page out ol 64. The Homasote Handbook took 2O years to write-based upon 46 years' experience in the making of quality materials.
