PIONEER CO. MANUFACTURE NEW HOUSE LINING

Selling for no more than ordinary saturated paper, one of the latest products of the Pioneer Paper Company, of Los Angeles, namely Pioneer saturated and coated houselining, has met with- a buying response exceeding even the most optimistic hopes of the coniern's officials, according to a report submitted by J. H. Plunkett, general manager.

Need for a perfected, waterproofed and. insulated house lining had long treen felt in the building industry, a recent technical questionnaire disclosed. The Pioneer's product, designed to fill the need, entered a waiting market, Plunkett stated, and the sales results throughout the western states have been exceptional as a consequence.

Heavy insulating paper, thoroughly impregnated and coated with asphalt, forms the base of the new product. Its main attraction lies in the fact that it is stronger, heavier and more economical to apply than ordinary saturated felt, resulting in an absolute protection against storm, rain and the penetration of dampness through the side walls. Several unusual features are incorporated in the material, according to Plunkett, one of which is a mineral surface to render it practically immune to abrasion.

Due to its density and waterproof character, builders report that it has been found adaptable to a wide variety of uses. Apart from its quality as an ideal backing for exterior stucco plastering, it has bebn found an invaluable protection against damaged walls, damaged interior decorations and plaster stains. In addition, its ability to insulate has resulted in warmer homes in winter and cooler in summer, the company official asserted.
