4,000,000 families desperately need housing now. That rreans not- only that more new homes must be built, but that more existing buildings must be remodeled into additional dwelling rrnits.

In many cases, faster remodeling is practically synonyrnous with faster partition building. That's why the manufacture of beveled edge Sheetrock rvallboard is'now being given extra emphasis by the United States Gypsum Company. Fcr this fireproof wallboard product builds safe partitions much faster than conventional methods.

The big 4' x & panels are quickly nailed to studs. The long sides of the panels are already beveled so that when matched thev form "V" joints. Result is a highly decorative paneied effect. Rooms may be planned so that joints fall at equal distances from either side of openings or room corners. .[t also is possible to match ceiling joints with sidewalls. The walls and ceilings can then be decorated by any finish that is brushed, sprayed or pasted on.

The Sheetrock is applied with edges snug to form the "V" joint. They are then nailed to the studs with regular 4d cement-coated nails. Nails are driven home so that a slight depression is left by the hammer head. The heads are covered with Sheetrock Finisher or Texolite Spackling Putty. When the cement is dry, it can quickly be sanded smooth, leaving the wall ready for decoration.
