The new improved HOilASOIE beveled siding with lO moior-Yolue fecrtures

The original Homasote Siding was successfully introduced 25 years ago-^nd found a quick acceptance. Then came \forld 'W'ar II and the diversion of our production to war housing. This was followed by a huge backlog of demand for Standard Homasote in 8'x L4' sheets.

Now a greatly increased capacity permits us to produce the new, improted Homasote Beveled Siding-with all the old qualities and some important new features.

0n the score of Beauty, Homasote Beveled Siding olfers...

l. Your choice of 14" or lO" exposures. Supplied in 16" and L2" widths-and in 12' lengths. Apply with at least one joint in every 18 L. F.

2. In either width, the same luxurious, deep shadow lines that add so greatly to architectural design.

3. Homasote Beveled Siding holds paint far longer than does woodand thus retains its frne appearance for a longer period of time.

4. Because Homasote is split-proof and crack-pr.oof, this siding is trouble-free.

0n the basis of Serviceability, Homasote Beveled Siding offers...

5. On the lower inside of each piece, a 45" beveling estab- lishes an efficient drip cap-a revolutionary, new feature that means prolonged life (as well as finer appearance). lO. Because Homasote is ueatberproof the siding need not be painted until convenient. Alsoif weather causei an interruption in the application, there will be no weather damage to the pieces already applied.

6, Because Homasote is a dense, homogeneous fiber board, this method of siding adds greatly to the insulating value of the outside walls.

7. Because Flomasote resists to a high degree the passage of air, heating bills are reduced.

8. Because of Homasote's great resistance to the absorption of moisture, the house is free from dampness and mildew.

9. Both the material and the method of application assure long life for the finished job.

San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club 3 and its guests really lived i! up at th; 9th Annuil Beach Party arid Bar-B-Q-at Solana Beach, Calif., July 21. In addition to the club lumbermen, their wives and families, there were about 200 guests at the Sunday outing, which started at 10:00 a.m. and included refreshments, games, swimming and other ways to beat the h,eat as old friends renewed and new friends'were made. The "tap" was only $1.50 adults and 50 cents for the kids, and the food alone was worth four times that. thev report.

Herschell Larrick, Jr., Deputy State Snark Southern California this year, and his able Club 3 helpers planned the palty,^ worked out all the details and were on the job, too, Iyly 21, to polish off their success. They roped off a sec- tion of the beach by !b" lifeguard, set up the necessary f9r t[e ice-cold_p-op and beer, for the gameJ and, finally, for the Bar-B-Q. Nfeantime, another craw was busv bikins the fresh albacore deep in hot hardwood coals -and stiii another crew was tending huge kettles of frijoles and the special sauce for the albacore.

The first guests began to arrive before 10:00 and relaxed in the surf 'n sand for three hours till they had king-size appe-tite-s. .The^ Bar-E-Q- was announced a[ 1:0O p.ml and tlre foodhit a 9-year high, reports Ken Conway of Hol*es Eureka Lumber Co., Los Angeles, who kindiy furnished the photos on this page. There was fresh cole slaw, potato chips, baked beans, hot dogs, the Albacore a la Larrick, real coffee and, finally, a choice of ice cream.

Genuine appreciation was voiced to Herschell Larrick, Jr., Roy Batt, John Collins, Joe Smith and all the other Club 3 Hoo-Hoo who helped make the 9th annual fishfry the best of all.

Prominent Club 3 lumbermen spotted at the beach party with their wives and small fry were Don Armstrong, Bob Bak91, Roy Batt, Dwight Bowles, Don Bufkin (Ctub 2), Al Childs, Lloyd Braithwaite, John Collins, Ken Conway (Club 2), Al Frost, Ed Glasson, Nihle Hamilton, Chuck Hampshire, Gene Hamry, Bob Heckel, Harry frion, Herschell Larrick, Jr., Bob Maxwell, Ernie Mead, Jim Porter, Paul Randall, Cli{ Roberts, Don Scrage, Bill Seeley, Lyle Seibert and Joe Smith.
