Blowed or blown, which is it ? There are some words in the English lan- guage that I don ' t like to handle. — J. A. Scott. WHAT IS ADAMANT ? It is a wall plaster that is rapidly superseding the old style lime mortar. By the aid of chemistry the different materials are so combined as to make an ADAMANT wall fireproof, windproof and w aterproof. Always uniform. It is the best material on earth for covering walls and ceilings. Nearl} as hard as marble and as durable as time. It is the only hard plaster that is elastic, adhe- sive, non-porous and practicalh ' indestructible. By their fruits shall ye know them. Read the record. Six years of unparalleled success. More than one million buildings throughout the United States plastered with ADAMANT. Endorsed by 25,000 of the leadino archi- tects, contractors and builders. Aggregate sales of ADAMANT for 1892, 500,- 000 tons; 3,500,000 barrels; 7,000,000 bags. Forty factories taxed to their utmost are unable to supply the demand. More buildings are being plastered with ADAMANT than with all other PLASTERING PREPARATIONS COMBINED. Imitation is the sincerest kind of flattery. Hence, we find all the venders of prepared plasters not only imitating our system of advertising, but saying, our material is almost as good as ADAMANTj very similar, etc. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS!
