\\|/E AssocIATE with Banking, the idea of valuablesW motr.y, stocks and bonds, deeds, insurance policies, jewelry. These are articles of d'epeulable aalue which the banker keeps safe for us-against our needs.

In the present building market-with its ups and downsthe builder and the dealer will do well to consider and weigh the depend,able aalue of the building materials they handle. Doubly important is their involvement and investment in the bread-and-butter, $2l-billion modernization market. If they work with known quantities, they can Protect themselves against costly surprises.

KllOWll POLIGIES

There was once a bank president who said, "I keep my desk in the bank's front window. The least I can do is to let the customers and the stockholders know where I am at all times." Similarly, you always know where Flomasote stands. Homasote's business policies are knov/n policies-made clear to all by every Homasote Representative, frequently reaffirmed in writing by Homasote Management. I7hether it is a matter of allotmenq distribution methods, or discounts, there are no variations. By this adherence, the interests of the retailer and the distributor are just as fully protected as are the interests of Homasote Company.

Quality

is one of the yardsticks of depend'able aalue. As the makers of Homasote, we are not suggesting that Homasote Boards are so precious they require storage in bank vaults. 'We can establish Homasote qualiry with on€ simple fact. there are no storehouses at the Homasote Mill. \Tinter or Summer, any Homasote on hand is stored outdoors-as it has been for 42 years. That is why Admiral Byrd could build Little America with Homasote-and find the material "as good as new" 16 years later. That is why you can use this true "outdoor board" for exposed exteriors as safely as for the finest interiors. Homasote can wait wecks, months, or yezrs to be painted, if need be. That is why leading architects and builders now specify this top-quality product for their top-qualiry homes.

All Homasote Products are Quality Products-born of almost half a century of American pioneering. They have stood the test of time-and of every kind of climate and weather condirion. They are made-each piece individually molded-by careful, scientific engineering. Every end use is the result of extensive research, backed by the experience of satisfied users over periods as long as 40 years.

Homasote Products are usually cheaper applied-always cheaper in the long run. And-Homasote akttalls stands back of its products.

In essence, you can feel that your ttading in Homasote Products is a dependable lifetime investment-the kind of business and the kind of securiry on which there is never any buying or selling on margin, never any under-the-table dealings.

DEPE]IDABLE PRIGES

There is no greater proof of known policies than dependable prices. Over the past 2O yeas, Homasote prices have slowly increased by 407o; the prices have never receded. In the same period, many other products have gone up in price by some 707o; this increase v/as on a fluctuating and frequently unpredictable basis. The end result is that no retailer or distributor of Homasote has ever bought at a given price and found, the next day, that the price had been cut.

WIDE RA]IGE

Given quality and dependabiliry, a wide range of products becomes an asset-to the dealer. the distributor. aod to the manufacturer. One stand- dealer, the know-howgoes into every product. ard of research, field testing, and Lnow-howgoes
