Pabco House on Treas ure lsland

Building Materials Deportment

The Paraffine Companies, lnc.

We have a streamlined kitchen, and a "planned" laundry' The second-floor bedrooms separated with bath open out upon a large sun-deck, an indispensable part of any modern Western home.

The floor-plan of the home is designed to give convenience whether for country or city family. All actual living rooms-bedrooms, kitchen, laundry, and living-room, face the rear of the house and are intended to be filled in with glass. (In the model, these are left open for inspection') On either a western or southern location, it is this part of the home which would catch the greatest amouht of sunJight.

It is in its construction, however, that Pabco llouse has its greatest distinction. Every building feature in the tiny model has been made as durable and strong as we knew how to make it. The timber foundations of the home, for instance, are protected against vermin, termites, and dry rot with Pabco Termite Preventive, the liquid protective coating. The masonry is protected against moisture absorption with Liquid Hydroseal.

We have used Keyhold Lath to guard against plaster cracks and to insulate the walls' rThe outer walls are

Pabco House is protected against the transfer of heat and cold, wiqd and rain with Red Liner building paper, Pabco Roek Wool, and the new Coolite back prime. Insulite Acoustilite gives protection against exterior sounds and noises.

The roof is protected against buckling and peeling with the cold application Pabcoweld roof method with Coolite aluminum finish. Coolite also insulates against heat and cold. In extreme hot weather it reduces temperatures in the house from 10 to 4 degrees.

We have used Pabco Multi-Service paints and Cin-Dek enamels to protect surfaces against weathering and stains. This is an important consideration for the woman who intends to do her own housework since these paints can be washed easily and quickly with a damp cloth.

Inside the house beauty, sanitation and ease of maintenance are promoted by the use of linoleum on all floors. Linoleum protects the investment by its long wearing qualities. Year after year, it keeps its brightness with the minimum of time and effort srpent on keeping that attractiveness.

For the same reasons, blocked Mastipave is used as floor covering for the spacious sun deck that extends the full width of the house on the second floor.

Whenever possible, the same sort of lumber and building materials which would be used on a normal-size building have been used on the Pabco model. When the small size of the miniature made this impossible, these materials have been represented as nearly like the original as possible.

Adapting these materials to the construction of a 3l x 5 foot model, finding electric light bulbs small enough to fit the indirect lighting fixtures in the tiny house, making furniture in perfect scale down to the last bit o,f stitching and upholstering, were only a few of our pre-exposition problems. The problems, however, were well worth our time and efforts for Pabco Booth, since the opening of the Fair, has been one of the busiest spots on Treasure Island. The miniature is attractive enough to draw large crowds of visitors and the step by step demonstration of its construction is dramatic rproof of the development of Western building in the direction of sound construction and the skilful use of building materials.

New P. O. Cedar Grading Rules lssued

The Port Orford Cedar Lumber Association has just released revised grading rules covering the production of its boards, dimension, timbers and irrigation grade lumber. These have been in preparation for some time and are the result of close study by the Port Orford Cedar mills and consultation with users of their products.

Those who want to obtain the new grading rules may get them at the office of Edgar A. Brown, special representative of the Port O'rford Cedar Association, 420 Market Street, San Francisco. Mr. Brown is pleased at all times to give any required information and prompt service to all lumber users who may be interested in Port Orford Cedar.
