It Storted the Biggest Building Boon in U. S. Histor|. . .

FrmpnN yEARs aco, the house pictured above was hailed nationally as the first to receive a loan insured by a new government agency known as the Federal Housing Administration. Many of the nation's prominent building officials visited the site of the all-shingle "Certigrade llome" in Arlington, Virginia, for the dedication ceremonies. Probably none ofthem could have foreseen that their gathering was the kick-offfor the world's greatest building boom. Since that day, the F. H. A. has insured loans in excess of ten billion dollars for small lwme conslruction alone, in addition to an almost incalculable amount for multiple family dwelling construction.

The some house iodoy... 15 years old!

Cedar shingles on the roof and walls are just as insulative, just as beautifi.rl as they were when the house was dedicated as F. H. A. Loan Number 1.

THE IfNPORTANCE OF CEDAR SHINGTES TODAY...

Last month, without any "dressing uP," we had a photographer visit the Certigrade Home to take the picture at the left. Notice that the roof and walls of "Certigrades" are just as attractive today as they were fifteen years ago. A remarkable testimonial to the long years of service you and your customers can expect from cedar shingles and a strong recommendation to those who have the responsibility of selecting materials for government housing projects.
