ANNOUNCING SUPER.FELT

.. . the new lohns-Manville Rock Wool Batt ry

?%/Z//tu@l

A revolutionary new process, developed by Johns-Manville, produces a rock wool of long fibres. Scientifically felted, these long fibres result in a much stronger and lighter-weight batt, with gteater uniformity and rigidity throughout. Longf.bre Saper-Felt sets a new high standard io home insulation.

Saper-Felt is so firmly felted it will not break down, even with rough handling. Improved handle-ability reduces cost of installation. Batts fit snugly between framing members with less time and labor.

The same size package now contains 10 batts instead of 8! This means 257 f.ewet packages to handle ; ; ; 25fi morc material per truckload.
