66pVPRES& is the weed
eternal," says an
advertisement; but hew
"eternal" is a house built
of cypress, or reefed with
cypress shingles, if the
reef once catches fire?
The only "eternal"
building material is brick.
Jt can't burn, or rust, or
Uecay. It needs no protection,
no paint, no repairs; therefeiu
brick houses ield the greatest
leveinie in proportion te cost,
and they eternally increase in
value.
Philadelphia - made bricks
aie the cheapest fireproof
building material mude and
they lat eternally.
