Moistite under stucco
Architects, engineers and contractors agree that most walls, and especially those in frame construction which are exposed to the weather, should be insulated. MOISTITE-Ihe new waterproof sheathing paper-is exactly suited to this purpose. It can be easily applied direct to the sheathing boards under all finishes.
MOISTITE does not absorb moisture and it does not dry out and become brittle; as do papers that are simply gi.r.d with asphalt. Processed bitumen is scientifically applied during the process of manufacturing the paper. This bitumen so thoroughly saturates and binds together those inner fibres, that it becomes an integral part of the paper itself.
The vast amount of building going on all over the Paci6c Coast provides a ready market for MOISTITE.
Good Profits for the Lumberyard Merchant
MOISTITE is backed with a practical merchandising and advertising campaign, including many effective dealer helps.
The Zellerbach Paper Company is now appointing dealers. Write or call at the nearest division for samples of MOISTITE, descriptive literature and other information which shows how the lumber merchant can cash in with this new waterproof sheathing.
