MOISTITE HAS MANY.USES

MOISTITE is a money maker for the lumber merchant as it can be used in so many ways in building. Architects and contractors have long /wanted a light-colored, thoroughly waterproof sheathing paper; they have it in MOISTITE.

MOISTITE is different from anything else on the market and its process of manufacture is protected by a United States patent. Processed bitumen is introduced in the making of the paper and not applied after the paper is made. The bitumen so thoroughly saturates andbindstogether the inner 6bres that it becomes a part of the paper itself.

MOISTITE is strong and pliable-it isvermin proof, germ proof and sanitary-it insulates the building against wind, dampness and dust.

The large amount of buildingonthe Pacific Coast provides a bigmarket for MOISTITE.

Good Profits for the Lurnber 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 showshow the lumber merchant can cash in with this new waterproof sheathing.
