Installations that looked comparatively sim- ple at the outset have brought up little problems that were hard to answer. —What should be done with the excess thickness, for example, if the openings of a house were made:for plaster? Plaster 1s three-quarters of an inch in thickness, whereas Upson Board is only three-sixteenths or a quarter inch in thickness. —What should be done 1f Upson Board is ap- plied over old plaster and the old baseboard 15 not removed? —How should the ceiling angles be treated properly? —What kind of panel strips should be used? These are just a few of the questions that have bothered contractors as well as many users of wall board. This Upson Blue Print Service is a Delib- erate Attempt to Solve A// the Problems That May Arise in Connection with the Proper Application of Wall Board The blue prints are a ready reference or encyclopedia of wall board application. They show proper treatment under almost every conceivable condition. By referring to them, the architect, dealer, contractor and consumer can quickly find just how to treat almost every type of application problem. Proper “Trim” Must Be Used to Secure Attractive and Harmonious Installations Here we wish to impress the importance of using well designed and appropriate “‘trim’”’! By “trim” we mean panel strips, moldings, coves and other lumber used to finish the ordi- nary wall board installation. Plain, narrow panel strips, for example, give a ‘“‘pinched”’ effect to the ordinary wall board An Upson installation of surpassing beauty. Note particularly the ceiling effect of molded plaster, worked out by a local con- tractor from the Upson Blue Book. See Plan No. 151-B for complete working blue print of ceiling design. installation—especially if stained in some con- trastive color. This “railroad track” paneling is neither pleasing nor attractive, and it is little wonder that people have a prejudice against it. It is not to be compared with a well-designed job of paneling which is as different from a “botched” job as night is from day. “Quarter-round” moldings do not give a fin- ished appearance in an ordinary room. Ugly treatment of corner angles often mars an other- wise good job. Upsonizing is Comparatively Easy and Simple There is a right way and a wrong way to finish every wall board job—an easy way to get pleasing effects that will make a mighty attrac- tive Upsonized wall or ceiling. We therefore urge you to study carefully the blue prints in this book, noting the treatment of corners and angles—and especially Sheets No. 152 and No. 156 which give pleasing de- signs of wall board trim. These Blue Prints, Created and Executed By The Upson Company, Constitute a Dis- tinctive Service to the Buyer of Wall Board These blue prints clearly show the proper way of applying Upson Board and how attrac- tive installations can be obtained. The idea of the blue prints, as well as their execution, is original with The Upson Company. No service so comprehensive has ever before been attempted by any manufacturer of wall board. The Ambition of The Upson Company is to Deliver a “Service” with a H igh- Quality Product These blue prints, costing thousands of dol- lars, represent the combined knowledge of expe- rienced architects and decorators plus the expe- rience and observation of Upson Executives. They are simply another evidence of the desire of The Upson Company to see its product give lasting satisfaction and maximum happi- ness—in the way of better-looking walls and ceilings—to users of Upson Board. See pages 50 to 53 ae nOoUCTS e ooo Or Announcement and Detail Plans of an Absolutely New Treatment of Wallboard Paneling It is known as the Upson Method of Relief Paneling which gives the effect of expensive Hand-Modeled Plaster at a fraction of the cost. WELL-DESIGNED PANELING IS DESERVEDLY POPULAR Now and Then Prejudice Against Paneled Interiors is Encountered, But it is Usually Due to Poorly-Designed Wallboard Jobs When rightly designed, there is nothing more beautiful than a paneled wall or ceiling—a state- ment proven by the continuous use of panels in fine buildings since the early ages. Some home-owners, however, have become prejudiced against the use of wall board be- cause of “railroad track” paneling. By this we mean that many installations have been finished in narrow, plain panel strips which were nothing more nor less than lattice strips. Such strips are unsuited—unadapted— and unattractive for good work. It is little wonder, then, that people criticize wall board interiors finished in this way. But it would be just as logical to put a plain strip of three- inch lumber around openings and eall it “trim.” That “trim”? would not make a good-looking room, whether the lining material be plaster, marble, or gold. The whole effect of narrow, plain panel strips is one of crudeness and cheapness. Walls and ceilings thus finished have not been attractive. Nothing More Pleasing—More Attractive— Than a Well-Designed Paneled Wall or Ceiling The use of paneling is really as old as Art itself. No scheme of decoration is more pleasing— more restful—or more harmonious—as evi- denced by the fact that architects and decora- tors are using panels more extensively than ever before. Go back into history! You will find that the Greeks and the Romans used the panel exten- sively in their appreciation of true Art; and the panel has come down to us through the ages— one of the forms of Art retained because of its beauty and utility. If you will remember, almost every ideal interior you have ever seen pictured in the magazines devoted to the promotion of good building, has had paneled walls and ceilings— from the luxurious hotel and mansion to the unpretentious home and bungalow—regardless of whether the material was wall board, marble, plaster, steel, or wood. Simplicity and restful dignity are combined 1n this delightful Upsonized bedroom. The walls and ceilings are a perfect back- ground for any type of furnishings or decorations Paneling Can Be Either Inconspicuous or Harmonious You are not obliged to use contrastive panel- ing with Upson Board. By painting both panels and panel strips the same color, you can give your walls the costly appearance of modeled plaster. When finished in this way, the panel strips are scarcely noticeable and are harmoniously inconspicuous, being just visible enough to give charm and dignity to the room. Many fine stores, hotels, and homes have been Upsonized in this quiet, unobtrusive way which eliminates the objection to contrastive paneling held by some people. By using the 64-inch panel of Upson Board, you can practically eliminate all appearance of paneling if you so desire, because this width, when run from corner to corner or opening to opening in combination with a frieze or dado panel, makes an almost unbroken wall. This is the widest size of stock panel made in America and is an Upson innovation. But if you prefer, you can have contrastive paneling, equally beautiful in many places, by painting or staining the panel strips a different color from the panels—like the woodwork, for example, or in a wide variety of harmonious color combinations. Nearly All Interior Decorators Endorse and Approve Paneling as the Most Effective Background Miss Elsie DeWolf, a decorator famous for her designs of interiors, says: “The most beau- tiful wall is the plain and dignified painted wall, broken into panels. Such a wall is just as appropriate to the six-room cottage as to the twenty-room house painted walls are dignified, restful, and most sanitary.” Miss Mary Northend, another authority on interior decoration, says: “Of all the treat- ments possible, there is nothing more attrac- tive than paneling and wainscot . . . . a sub- stitute for paneling fast coming into popular favor is wall board. Time and again, you have heard this product maligned on the ground that it looks cheap; that it buckles and bulges; and a score of other allegations, but the fact re- mains that more and more good wall board is This charming, hand-painted ceiling is in the home of H. L. Rosenberg, Beverly Hills, California. Upson Board was se- lected for its superior painting surface, and because it is a backing for the painting that will never crack or chip being used in homes. With the use of decora- tion, exceedingly attractive effects may be con- trived.” Mr. Harold Donaldson Eberlein, author of a number of books on interior decoration, says: “A paneled wall is the exception that proves the rule that walls must be either a background or a decoration. The paneled wall seems a middle ground between the plain wall and the distinctly decorative wall. The symmetrical arrangement of panels and the relief supplied by the mold- ings create sufficient interest to satisfy the eye.. yet there is plenty of opportunity to hang pic- tures and other decorations if one so wishes.” A paneled wall need not be an elaborate affair nor a difficult thing to contrive. Pick up nearly any book on interior decoration! Almost without exception you will find that the author endorses and approves the use of panels because good paneling is decorative, sightly, and attractive. There is no type of home, whether inexpen- sive or costly, that cannot use paneling to advantage. In fact, an Upsonized interior, well designed, gives the charm and proportion of the big costly home to the smaller and less expensive one. Upson Board Opens Wide the Door for Artistic Interiors Upson Processed Board has the most perfect painting surface of any board. -Either the pebbled or smooth side can be used. Practically any kind of paint that can be used on wood, plaster, or steel can be applied to Upson Board without a priming or sizing coat. For ordinary purposes, “flat” or dull finish paints are more satisfactory. These are wash- able, have no gloss, and reflect a soft, restful light. They can be obtained in a wide range of colors —from soft, dainty tints to deep, rich shades. Two coats of paint will always finish Upson Board except where enamel is used; oftentimes, a single coat is sufficient. In applying any paint the directions of the paint-maker should be fol- lowed with the exception that Upson Board does not require the priming coat usually rec- ommended. Stippling with a stiff brush made for that purpose will spread the flat paint more evenly, and eliminate the brush marks especially when a single coat is used. Many attractive and artistic effects can be obtained by the use of “glaze” colors as well as by blending harmonizing colors. Tiffany effects are created in this way. The use of stencils opens a wide field for those who desire original and unique effects. These can be obtained in a large variety of motifs suitable for every room. Your decorator or painter can tell you about the effects mentioned above, but if you are hesitant in working out color schemes, our Decorative Department will gladly help you. Upson Board, Being Painted, Does Away With the Expense of Constant Re-papering Wall coverings—whether paper, burlap or cloth—fastened by adhesion, usually loosen and are objectionable from a sanitary standpoint, because dust, germs, and bacteria are often lodged by such coverings. The use of wall paper defeats one of the most important objects of wall board, which is to have a sanitary, washable, painted surface that can be kept clean and immaculate. It is, there- fore, recommended that Upson Board be always paneled and painted. Paneling is also recommended because no wall board can be papered with unvarying suc- cess. Due to the settling of the building or the expansion and contractionof the timbers, plaster inevitably cracks and breaks the surface of the wall paper—you expect it. The same forces may pull the panels of the wall board apart very slightly, perhaps only jsth of an inch, and thus break the wall paper (which is not elastic) just as with plaster. These statements apply to every make of wall board, whether wood, plaster, or fiber, and regardless of what the manufacturer may claim. Moreover, the new flat paints now procurable are richer, more beautiful, and far more sanitary than any wall paper made. Filling the joints of wall board cannot be done satisfactorily. Inevitably, the joints will open and reveal ugly, disfiguring cracks around the panels, simply because the wall board has a different degree of expansion and contraction than the filler used in the joints. Modern Upson Board installations have nothing in common with the old-time “‘hit or miss” wall board jobs, with ugly “battens,” unsightly nail heads, and hideous color schemes. You will find Upson installations, such as the above, in homes distinctive for their beauty and good taste— everywhere The alluring beauty of attractive paneling of today! This Upson Board installation proves paneling is, in most cases, the most effective background for furnishings The Vogue of Beautiful Paneled Interiors Is En- hanced By the Advantages _ of Upson Board Paneling has been the vogue since the inception of the art of interior decoration. From the magnificent halls and chambers of continental castles to the exquisite rooms of the most expensive modern homes, paneled walls have remained the undis- puted fashion. In the American Wing of the Metropoli- tan Museum of New York is a wonderful collection of lovely rooms—the result of a search the museum experts conducted throughout this entire country for the most beautiful examples of American interior decoration. Nearly every room in this group is paneled! The beauty of paneled rooms is proved and the judgment of the museum experts is confirmed by the acceptance of paneled rooms by architects and the approval. of practically allimportant interior decorators. Price has always been the big objection to paneled interiors. Rooms, such as those in the museum group, cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars when finished in carved oak or veneer. But now the same effect can be had at a fraction of that cost by using UPSON BOARD, the nearest-perfect material for walls, ceilings and partitions. There are several distinct advantages in Upsonizing. 1. To repeat—with Upson Board you can achieve effects which would be pro- hibitively expensive if attempted with other materials, such as costly molded plaster or oak panel. 2. Properly applied, Upson walls and ceilings are permanent. They will not chip. Age does not wrinkle or warp them. And when years have dulled the beauty of their finish, a fresh coat of paint and your Upson interior is again new. 3. Upson Board does not limit your interior to one or two possibilities of de- signs. Its variations of treatment and pat- tern are almost unlimited. For instance— If a dignified paneled treatment is de- sired—simply select the design you prefer from one of the blue prints in this book. However, should you wish a plain wall— run 64-inch sheets of Upson from corner to corner, or opening to opening, in combi- nation with a frieze panel. This makes an unbroken wall with the exception of the frieze or picture mold. 4. No other lining is so easily or so quickly applied. Any good carpenter can apply Upson Board any time of the year. The panels come to you ready for imme- diate application and decoration. They are clean, light and convenient to handle—like high-grade lumber—easily sawed with a fine-tooth saw or cut with a sharp knife. 5. There is no muss, dirt or delay when Upson Board is used. When plastering, the rooms are usually uninhabitable for days, if not weeks, and the furnishings are some- times ruined or have to be removed to other parts of the house. What is Upson Board P Upson Board is built up from‘Jong, tough wood fibre—mostly spruce—compressed into big, light but strong panels. The 3¢” thickness comes in 32”, 48” and 64” widths, and in lengths of 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet. The 14” and 3" thick- nesses come only in 48” widths, but lengths are the same. Will It Warp P Upson Board installations in varied climates, and in over a million buildings, prove that once properly applied, Upson Board will lie flat and smooth on the walls. Is It Waterproofed ? Yes! Upson Board is thoroughly water- proofed to resist moisture and dampness. We have letter after letter in our files stat- ing that Upson Board ceilings, soaked by accidental leaks, have dried back into shape—stiff and flat. A Good Insulator ? Yes! Upson Board is an excellent insula- tor against heat or cold. Applied on walls and ceilings it helps to keep a house warm in winter and cool in summer. An Upson Board lining should cut 20% to 30% off fuel bills. Will It Crack P No! Being a wood product, Upson Board retains the whiplike strength of lumber. It is not brittle. It is knotless. For ceilings, or for industrial use where unusual vibra- tion exists, there is nothing better than Upson Board at any price. Strength, not thickness, is what counts in a wall and ceiling material. Does It Save on Paint ? The superior painting surface of Upson Board is another reason why it is a better buy than ordinary building boards. Artists use it instead of canvas. Many leading paint manufacturers use it as a base for their color samples. Upson Board is pre-sized at the factory, thus saving $5 to $15 a room in painting costs. Is It Fireproof ? In justice to the buyer, we have never claimed Upson Board to be fireproof. There is no wall board—whether made of fibre, gypsum, plaster or wood—that is fireproof. In fact, building and insurance experts agree that there is no building material fire- proof in the literal sense of the word, that is, absolutely proof againt flame and heat. However, dozens of letters in our files prove that Upson Board ts a splendid fire- retardant. It chars rather than burns. Vol- untary statements from users assert that it has prevented many serious fires. We prefer to present these facts about Upson Board rather than add to the con- fusion caused by the exaggerated fire-proof- ing claims of so many manufacturers. Easy To Put Up? Strong but light, one man can apply Upson Board, even on ceilings. It is a “one man” board. Upson Board goes up in one-third the time of plaster, and with little orno muss, dirt or delay. Nor is there any wastage from breaking in handling as with plaster wall board. Upson Board will not dull the saw like plaster wall board. It cuts and nails much like basswood—no splitting, no crumbled edges. It is excellent, too, for attic and cellar work, because it can be carried through narrow winding stairways without breakage.

A fine example of the beauty of paneling 6 THESE PRACTICAL TESTS PROVE THE SUPERIORITY OF UPSON BOARD Practical Test No. 1 Proves Upson Board an Excellent Non- Conductor of Heat and Cold—7% Bet- ter Than Gypsum Filled Wall Boards Twice as Thick This test was made to determine the rela- tive transmission of heat through Upson Board and other materials. Electricity was used to transmit heat into boxes of different materials. The tempera- ture inside and outside the boxes was ob- served by means of thermo couples. Note These Results l-inch lath and plaster... .880 Board AA 14-inch Upson Board.... 1.052 Board A 3¢-inch Upson Board.... 1.074 Board D Gypsum filled board.... 1.145 3¢-inch Upson Board is proven to be a better non-conductor of heat than gypsum filled wall boards twice as thick. Extra- Thick—Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quar- ter-Inch) shows a still better test—nearly 10% better. The test plainly shows Upson Board to be a splendid insulation. Practical Test No. 2 Proves Upson® Board will stand nearly twice the impact of other fiber and gypsum filled wall boards tested A cast-iron sphere was dropped from gradually increased heights on Upson Board—other fiber and gypsum filled wall boards. This test conclusively proves that Upson Board will stand a far greater blow than ordinary wall boards, It proves that 3¢- inch Upson Board will stand an impact 40% to 70% greater than the other fiber boards tested and more than twice the impact of gypsum filled boards twice as thick. Extra-Thick—Extra-Strong Quarter- Inch Upson Board will stand a 200% greater impact than plaster wall board. Every wall receives knocks and blows. You know what happens when this occurs on a plaster wall! The plaster shatters—the ugly depression mars the appearance of the whole room, Practical Test No. 3 Proves Upson Board 50% to 125% More Moisture-Resisting Than Other Wall Boards Tested Pie: so! Uj son Poard, other well-known fiberand plaster wall boards were totallyim- mersed in water for a period of two hours. This test proves that competitive fiber boards absorb from one-half totwice as much moisture as does Upson Board. This test also proves that a 20 x 20 foot ceiling of Upson Board when thoroughly exposed tomoisture would weigh only 329.06 pounds. The samesizeceiling of plaster wall board would weigh 1,016.64 pounds—a little over half aton! Aheavy plaster mass like this might fall any minute. Think what would happen! The importance of the test can be readily estimated when you realize that there is scarcely a building in which an accidental leak does not occur some time or other. Therefore, the moisture and water resisting qualities of Upson Board are obviously im- portant. Practical Test No. 4 Pressure or Transverse tests prove Upson Board nearly twice as strong as other wall boards tested Pieces of board were nailed to frames of 2x 4’s, the studs spaced on 16-inch centers. Pressure was thenap- plied. The boards broke under the following pressures: . Load Lbs.

DDigilssAs ri Aga taoeaniete 135 This test shows thickness does not neces- sarily mean strength, for 3@-inch Upson Board will stand a load of 115 pounds more than the gypsum filled wall board tested (twice as thick), and will sustain from 100 to 120 pounds more than the other fiber wall boards tested. Extra-Thick—Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quarter-Inch) will carry a load of 135 pounds, or approximately 100% more than the ordinary wall board. This testisimportant becauseit shows that Upson Board will withstand extraordinary strains, vibrations and pressures to which every wall is at some time subjected. These tests made by The Robert W. Hunt Engineer- ing Laboratories on panels of Upson Board purchased in the open market. We have never been afraid to submit Upson Board to tests alongside of any other wall boards. We not only invite, but we urge, a comparison of qualities. As a service to Upson dealers, we have retained different engineering laboratories to make impartial tests of Upson Board as compared with other boards. These tests were made for the sole purpose of telling the truth about Upson Board. The findings must be accepted at their face value because of the high standing of the labora- tories that made them, The tests shown above are not our tests. They have been made by neutral engineering laboratories. Moreover, they are practical. They do not represent sleight- of-hand tricks, like tipping an inverted glass of water upon a piece of board. Each test has been chosen with the idea of duplicating, as nearly as possible, in the laboratory, actual conditions of wall board as applied to walls and ceilings. The tests, therefore, are neither theoretical nor misleading. They simply show what good wall board should be and what it should do. After you have studied these typical tests—you will know why Upson Board has earned its titleof “The Most Depend- able Board Made in America.” These are the TESTS THAT TELL. Each test has been made with the idea of duplicat- ing actual conditions on the wall. They are practical — not theoretical! UPSON FIBRE-TILE for Colorful Baths and Kitchens A New and Colorful Tiling Material—Satisfactory, Yet Inexpensive—for Bathroom, Kitchen, Laundry, Store or Office. Costs About 1-10th as Much as Ceramic Tile, Yet Looks as Well Ceramic or porcelain tile, as good as it 1s, has certain fundamental disadvantages. Due to its high cost, few can afford it. Its unyielding surface causes it to crack under sharp blows, or wall strains which sometimes result from settling of building. Soon after installa- tion, individual tiles often develop minute sur- face cracks. Because porcelain tile is so heavy, it often requires special construction or reinforce- ment of building. On the other hand, Upson Fibre-Tile is so inexpensive any home-owner can afford it. Be- cause it is a wood product, it has live strength and should not crack under blows or because of settling of the building. Being light in weight, it can be installed without extra reinforcement of the structure. Colorful Tiled Interiors in the New Mode —With Upson Fibre-Tile Upson Fibre-Tile comes unfinished to enable you to choose your own color scheme. The average bathroom interior can be made bright, colorful and sanitary with Upson Fibre-Tile. When enameled, Upson Fibre-Tile can be kept clean and glistening simply by wiping over with a damp cloth Thus it is possible to give kitchens, baths, laundries, shops and offices tiled walls of sunny color—inexpensively and quickly. The sun-flooded room of southern exposure can be mellowed with cool greens, blues, laven- ders, or smart gray and black. The room of northern exposure, lacking sun- light, can be brightened with a warm tone of russet, corn yellow, brown or orange. The decorative possibilities are unlimited. If you are in doubt as to the color or colors best suited for your tile installation, appropriate color suggestions will be selected for you by an expert interior decorator, without charge. Or, any paint manufacturer will gladly furnish you with booklets on fancy finishes that are applicable. A striking testimonial to the famous “‘super-surface” of Upson Products is the fact that over twenty-five of the country’s largest paint manufacturers display their paints on Upson Fibre-Tile and Upson Board. The Surface of Upson Fibre-Tile is Smooth and Lintless, Costing Less To Enamel Upson Fibre-Tile is pre-sized at the factory, giving it a distinctive surface which is less expensive to finish and which looks better when enameled. This pre-sizing means a saving of from $5 to $15 a thousand feet on enamel. Kiln-Cured to Minimize Expansion and Contraction Every panel of Upson Fibre-Tile is scientifi- cally processed under the famous and original Upson method. This takes out excess moisture and minimizes expansion and contraction— an important quality for a material to be used in bathrooms and kitchens. Its durability is proven by the fact that The Upson Company has received less than ten complaints from the millions of feet of Upson Fibre-Tile sold and used throughout the country. Upson Fibre-Tile is simply a special Upson Board. It is built up from tough wood fiber, processed into big, strong panels with permanent tile-like indenta- tions on the face. Upson Fibre-Tile is about 14 inch thick and is made in one width—48 inches—and in the following lengths, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet. It is made in two patterns, oblong and square—the square measures 4 by 4-inch between indentations; the ob- long, 4 by 14-inch. The square design is most pleasing when used from floor to ceiling or in 6 or 8 foot lengths. When a 4-foot wainscot is desired, either the square or oblong pattern is equally well chosen. Quickly and Easily Installed by One Man —No Dirt, Muss, Nor Delay The unfinished panels are applied direct to the studding in new construction, or to furring strips over old plaster. We heartily recommend that Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners be used so that there are no nail heads to countersink nor nail holes to fill; therefore, no disfiguring nail-head depressions to mar the beauty of the finished job. Upson Fibre-Tile cannot crack; cannot chip and, properly applied, should never warp. Certified tests prove it resists blows, heat and cold. It weighs but one-third as much as plaster- filled wall boards. When on the wall and enameled, Upson Fibre-Tile can be kept clean and sanitary simply by wiping over with a damp cloth. In short, properly applied, Upson Fibre-Tile is there to stay. It makes a beautiful, perma- nent lining for any kind of an interior where a fresh, bright, washable surface is desirable. UPSON SELF-CLINCHING FASTENERS The Only Method of Applying Wall Board Without Disfiguring Nail Marks in Genter of Panels Anchors the Board Securely in Place from the Back Here is a patented device that removes the last big objec- tion to wall board—ugly nail heads or filled-in nail holes in exposed panel surfaces. Unquestionably, the introduction of the Upson Self- Clinching Fastener is one of the greatest steps in the de- velopment of wall board that has ever been made. And it is very fitting that this device should be brought out by The Upson Company which has originated nearly 1 Level Studs every improvement in wall board that has been made dur- ing the last fifteen years. Now any carpenter can apply Upson Board without a blemish or any evidence of nailing. The Upson Fastener eliminates the tedious labor and the cost of countersinking hundreds of finishing nails. It also does away with the filling of nail holes—a laborious and difficult thing to do, that is seldom done perfectly even with the greatest of care. Drive Nails 3 Attach Fasteners It’s All In the Curve of the Prongs! Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners anchor the panels, in- visibly, from the back! There is no evidence of nailing of any kind. Notice the picture of the fasteners on page 9. The straight center prong keeps the board from slipping to either side. The exposed prongs on the right show the normal position before the board is applied. The dotted lines show how the curved prongs clinch with a lifelike grip as they are forced into Upson Board. 4 Hang Panel Securely Level all joists or studs so that board will lie fat. A straight edge will indicate bent or warped studs. If studs are uneven, fur with 34 inch or 34 inch furring and shim up warped studs. Another way to straighten studs is to cut a saw curf into the stud on bowed side about the middle of bow, drive in a wedge to straighten the stud and nail strip on side to hold in place. Drive l-inch flat-head coated or Upson In-to-Stay Nails every 9 inches on inter- mediate studs. Leave head protruding 4 inch from wood. Fasteners are used only for holding centers of panels, and are therefore applied only to intermediate studs, i. e., in applying 32-inch panels, use fasteners only on the one stud in the middle of the panel; when applying 48-inch panels, use the fas- teners on the two studs in middle of panel. Notice there is on each fastener a slot for the nail, with a depression for the nail head about in the center of the fastener. Slip an Upson Self-Clinching Fastener under every nail head and drive the nail and fastener down tightly, being careful not to hit any of the prongs of the fastener with the hammer. Nails must be driven in hard so fastener lies flat on the stud, and cannot turn when pangl is applied. When fasteners have been nailed tight, place panel of Upson Board against studs, but do not press hard on fasteners. Fit panel almost flush at top and at floor. Have outer edges come just short of centers of studs so that a space of ;% inch is left be- tween panels. Drive four nails across top, to hold panel firmly in place while driving prongs of fastener into board. This step is very important. Upson Fasteners resist any amount of pulling or twisting that might be caused by settling of the building or warping of studs and joists. Each fastener holds with the strength of nine finishing nails. Apply Furring Strips Over Brick and Plaster Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners cannot be applied direct to brick or plaster. If Upson Board is applied direct to brick or plaster, small 14-inch head brads should be used. For proper application over brick and plaster walls and ceilings, first fur with % to 34 inch thick furring strips set at 16-inch centers. All springy furring and hollow spots must be made firm by shimming when applying panels with Upson Fasteners. Phantom view of Upson Fastener. Note curved prongs clinch into back of panel, while straight prong pre- It is difficult to drive the prongs into the panel with springy furring or weak studs. Even if Upson Fasteners are not to be used, it is always advisable to use furring strips in applying wall board over brick or old plaster. This insures regular, panel effects that will last. Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners are put up 100 to a package, enough to apply 175 square feet of Upson Board. Sufficient Upson In-to-Stay Nails for applying the fasteners are also enclosed. Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners are sold only for jobs on which Upson Board or Upson Tile is being used. Follow directions given below for successful results. A copy of these directions will be found in each carton of vents panel moving sidewise. Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners. - 4) Drive Fasteners Snap a white chalk line down the panel, over the stud’s center. Take a 2 by 4 two feet long, with roundedges, to prevent defac- ing of panel, and place it over the chalk line. Beginning at the top, strike the 2 by 4 with two or more hard, quick blows with a heavy hammer over each fastener. Continue this from ceiling to floor over chalk line. This step is important, since the prongs will not clinch sufficiently unless the fasteners are properly driven into the wall board. 6 Nail Edges Complete the installatfon by driving 1- inch flat-head or Upson In-to-Stay Nails around the edges of the panel every 9 or 10 inches, % inch from edge. Never try to toe- nail around edges of a panel. Edge nails must be driven in straight, 14 inch from edge. The panel is now ready for application of wood trim and decorating. There are no nail holes to fill, hence no disfiguring marks. If, through improper application, prongs should show through face of board, rap lightly with a bell-faced hammer and prongs will turn over and not show when painted. 7 Cover Ceiling In applying Upson Board, always do the ceiling first, then the side walls. In applying over old plaster, first fur over the plaster with strips of wood about 1 inch thick and 2 or 3 inches wide nailed on 16-inch centers. Furring should be firm. Build up low spots by shimming up uader the furring strips un- til all furring is level. Nail one end of panel before driving fasteners, as in Step 4, “Hang Panel Securely.” When applying ceiling, hold Upson Board firmly to prongs while pound- ing. Do not let sag, see illustration T brace. 8 To Remove a Panel Panels applied with Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners can be removed and replaced without damage, if necessary to get at wir- ing or plumbing. Cut out nails along edges of panels. Spring one edge of panel away from stud. Pry the board away from each fastener carefully. In replacing panel,. re- move old fasteners and apply new ones a couple of inches above or below the old ones, then apply the wall board, as previously described, with padded 2 by 4 inch block. 10 THe NEAREST-PERFECT MATERIAL FOR WALLS—CEILINGS—PARTITIONS—INTERIOR INSULATION - Upson Board offers an inexpensive, artistic, sanitary lining that is easily and quickly ap- plied; a strong, tough, durable lining that can never crack or fall; a warm, fire-resisting, waterproofed lining that should last as long as the building in which it is installed. In making Upson Board, Upson Board is pre-sized at the mill, so it does not require a priming coat, as do soft, punky, absorbent boards. It is waterproofed to resist moisture and dampness, and when applied ac- cording to directions it will lie flat on the wall without buckling or warping. Better Than Brittle, Plaster- Filled Wall Boards — Especially for Ceilings Upson Board is light, yet tough and strong, therefore easy to handle without breaking. Brittle, plaster-filled wall boards weigh nearly four times as much and are huge logs are shredded into fibers. The long, wiry fibers are fabricated into a single ply of board, and then a number of these single plies are laminated into big, strong panels (much like veneer) that are wider and longer than any ‘cut’ lumber. The laminated panels are kiln-cured, waterproofed and ready-primed under the famous and exclusive Upson process. Only the best of ground wood fibers go into Upson Board. It contains also a considerable percentage of chemical wood fiber—a raw The first board to use color with wall board Whenever You See or Hear of Color Used With Wall Board as a Trade- mark, Think of Dependable Upson Board With Its Famous B/ue-Center difficult to handle without breaking both in shipping and applying. Plaster-filled wall boards, because of their ="5 weight, are not adapted for uray’ use on many ceilings without the ceilings being reinforced —a costly operation. It iseasy toapply. There islittleor no breakage. Being light in weight, one man can apply apanelof Upson Board where it would require two or three men to handle a large panel of plaster-filled wall board to avoid breaking it. Upson Board cuts clean and easy with Saw or knife— does not crumble at edges— oe as a distinctive mark of identification material which every good wall board must contain if strength and life are desired. Most manufacturers, how- ever, avoid its use on ac- count of the cost, which is about three times that of ground wood and five to eight times as much as the screenings and refuse used in many other boards. Back in 1911, a blue-center was placed in Upson Board after trying red, green, and other colors. Blue stands for Quality and Royalty; Blue stands for De- pendability; so BLUE was finally chosen as the distinc- tive Upson color. In the years intervening, Upson Board has lived up to every tradition of Royal Blue. It has become known the world over as the acknowledged standard of quality for wall board. Slowly, but surely, blue-center Upson Board has in- creased its sales and prestige because of its greater superiority and its maintained quality. Moreover, practically every improvement made in wall board dur- ing the past fifteen years has been first incorporated in dependable Upson Board. Its splendid record for dependability has apparently been the envy and despair of competitors. Seemingly lacking the ability to make a board as good as Upson, they have stooped to servile imitation. But every imitation is merely added proof of Upson Leadership. For when manufacturers imitate blue-center Upson Board, they openly acknowledge to the world their inability to create something as good as Upson Board. And invariably the imitator admits his weak- ness because he stresses ‘‘price.’’ He says in effect that he cannot offer the same quality as Upson Board. therefore it holds tothe nails. Approximately half the panels used inanordinary in- stallation must be cut to fit given spaces or around open- ings. Since the strength of plaster-filled wall boards de- pends largely upon that of the liner or paper surface (plaster or gypsum having little or no strength of its own), cut edges offer little Upson Board is Different!—Not Like Other Boards Not only is Upson Board harder, stiffer, and nearly twice as strong, as proven by impartial recognized engineering laboratories (see page 6), but its exclusive super-surface makes it the most beautiful board on the market as well. Because of its scientific processing, Upson Board is the most dependable wall board made. Upson Board looks, feels and works like lumber. It is a live material—having the whip-like strength of the wood from which it is made. It has been used in many thousands of homes and public buildings with arecord of less thanone complaint to every 8,000,000 feet sold and used. strength to hold to nails. In cutting and applying plaster-filled wall boards, as with plaster, dust and dirt seep and sift throughout the house. With Upson Board and Upson Fibre-Tile it is not necessary to have ugly nail holes or large-headed nails showing in centers of panels, since Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners anchor the panels securely in place from the back. On the other hand, large-headed, ugly nails must be used in applying brittle, plaster-filled wall boards. The nail headscannot be effectively covered with paint or paper. Upson Board Makes Permanent Walls and Ceilings—Waterproofed and Fire-Resisting Vibration cannot cause it to loosen from the nails. Vibration frequently causes plaster- filled wall boards to pulverize or crystallize around the nails so that they lose their hold on the board. Panels of plaster-filled wall boards often loosen to such an extent that they threaten to fall. Upson Board is waterproofed—ordinary leaks have little or no effect upon it. The outside liner of most plaster-filled wall boards is ab- sorbent, while water may soften the plaster filler and the added weight of the water cause the board to fall, like plaster. Upson Board is fire-resisting and fire-retard- ing. Our files contain testimonial letters refer- ring to cases where fire has been stopped by Upsonized walls. The absorbent nature of plaster-filled wall boards is such that they may become so soaked with water from fire hose that they lose their strength, break from the studs, and thus permit the flames to get in their deadly work direct on the wood joints and studding. This statement is proven by Circular No. 151 of the Bureau of Standards, published by the Department of Commerce at Washington, “Unless plaster is especially designed for the purpose, its ability to withstand fire is not usually regarded as of any great moment. * * * Plaster is of value as a fire-resistive material only so long as it stays in place. * * * The - materials of which plaster is composed expand when heated. Sudden, severe local application of heat, as in a fire, will cause sudden, severe local expansion. The only direction in which the plaster 1s free to expand is by bulging outward away from the wall. This quickly breaks the keys or tears the lath loose and the plaster falls.” Itis Neither Costly Nor Difficult To Finish Upson Board does not require an expensive priming coat, being pre-sized, thus saving $5 to $15 per room in painting. It is difficult and costly to size wall boards after installation. The Famous Upson Line There is a thickness and size of Upson Board for every conceivable purpose. It is the most complete line of fiber boards on the market. 7-Inch Upson Board Made 32, 48 and 64 inches wide and 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet long. Extra-Thick—Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quarter Inch) Made of the same fine quality raw materials and with the same scrupulous standards as regular 3;-inch Upson Board Extra-Thick—Extra-Strong Up- son Board (Quarter Inch), which 1s five plies in thickness, is indeed the nearest- perfect wall and ceiling material. We recommend theuse of Extra-Thick —Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quarter Inch) for all high-class installations. The difference in price between Ex- tra-Thick—Extra-Strong Upson Board — (Quarter Inch) and the regular 33;-inch Upson Board is only a dollar or two for sufficient material for the walls and ceiling of an average-size room. Unless the sizing is absolutely correct, the color is likely to strike through in places, causing a spotted appearance. The liner of most plaster-filled wall boards is necessarily absorbent, in order to make the paper stick to the plaster. They therefore re- quire a priming coat. Upson Board is an Excellent Insulator Against Heat and Cold Upson Board has been put through many stringent insulation tests in different engineer- ing laboratories, and results prove conclusively that per inch of thickness it is one of the most efficient insulation materials on the market— even better than many materials sold specifi- cally for insulation. Impartial engineers have found, for example, that one thickness of 33-inch Upson Board is as effective an insulation as eleven sheets of ordi- nary building paper. It has also been found that Extra-Thick—Extra-Strong (Quarter Inch) Up- son Board is nearly 10% better insulator against heat and cold than plaster-filled wall board which is 50% thicker. Detailed tests made by the Robert W. Hunt Laboratories as well as by the American Society of Refrigerating Engineers show that per inch of thickness (which is the standard thickness for testing insulation materials), Upson Board is the equal of the average cork insulation material—from 20% to 100% better than the average asbestos insulation per inch of thick- ness—better by 20% to 50% than other fiber wall boards tested per inch of thickness—and 600% to 800% better per inch of thickness than plaster wall boards tested. Commercial thicknesses of Upson Board, to the best of our knowledge, offer the best insula- tion value per dollar of selling price of any material on the market. Moreover, Upson Board offers a smooth, easily-cleanable, non- absorbent, sanitary surface as compared with the rough, dust-catching, paint-absorbing surface of many products sold for insulation purposes. Upson Board not. only costs less than the average wall board specially sold for insulation purposes but it also saves $10 to $20 per thou- sand square feet in cost of painting. It is an ex- cellent non-conductor of heat and cold as well as the highest-quality wall board—a desirable combination! Upson Board gives satisfaction, for it has the enviable record of-less than one complaint to every 8,000,000 feet sold and used. 12 APPLY UPSON BOARD AS CAREFULLY AS OTHER BUILDING MATERIALS Quickly and Easily Applied—Upson Board Deserves Same Treatment One man applying Upson Board on ceiling Note T-braces, and mallet used for driving board to Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners Preliminary Steps When the Upson Board is delivered on the job, open each bundle and expose the panels to the air for a few hours. Lay out your panel scheme before you start work. As with trim, the framework and building should be dry before applying wallboard. Studs, joists or furring should not be more than 12 to 16 inches between centers for 83-inch Upson Board, For studs on 18 to 24-inch centers, 44-inch Upson Board should be used. Preparation Level up all joists or studs to afford a perfectly flat and smooth nailing *surface. A straight edge will reveal out-of-line, as Good Interior Trim warped or bent studs. If there are a number of crooked studs, the most satisfactory job is obtained by furring all studs and shim- ming. ° If only one or two studs are crooked in new construction, cut a saw curf nearly through stud on inside of bow about middle of bow, drive in a wedge to straighten stud, and nail strip on side to hold in place. If this is impossible, cut the bow out of stud with drawknife. Be sure to place headers or nailing pieces at top of baseboard, flush with studs, back of plate rail or picture molding and at angle of ceiling. This is important. Place extra nailing pieces back of electric fixtures, sinks, cabinets and other objects needing support. All headers should be nailed solidly, and especial care should be taken in fastening those which will have to support some weight. Note: In order to obtain the best results with Upson Board on new walls and ceilings, it is advisable to run furring at right angles with the studs—spaced about 12 or 14 inches apart. This assures perfectly level backing. Best Method for Cutting Upson Board Upson Board is best cut with a fine tooth saw or a sharp jackknife. In sawing, place the side of panel to be painted face up, being careful not to deface it. To cut with a jack- knife, simply lay panel on floor or table, cutting half way through. Then snap panel along knife cut. The Actual Application of Upson Board I. In New Buildings or Unfinished Rooms (Covered by Upson Blue Prints Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 5A, SB, 6,7, 50, 51, 159) Apply ceiling first. Always leave space 3"-inch wide between panel edges, and see that edges are near center of stud to provide ample nailing space. If panel edge does not cover nearly half of stud, or at least 74-inch of stud, nail strip to side of stud flush with face, thus providing proper nailing surface. Panels should be cut so that they run from floor to ceiling angle. Fit board tightly around windows and doors to make an air- tight job. Gas, electric or other fixtures suspended from the ceiling, or coming through the wall, should be detached and a hole cut in the Upson Board just large enough to fit around the pipe. Then fit panel into place, replace fixture with metal guard, and paint. _ If you are working alone in applying ceil- ing panels, a T-support is very handy. (See illustration.) To nail edges, use 1-inch Upson In-to- Stay Nails or l-inch No. 16 flat-head barbed wire nails placed every 10 inches apart. Be sure to nail at least % inch BACK FROM EDGE of Upson Board. Nailing Upson Board Always apply ceiling panels first. One man can apply them with the aid of a T- brace as shown here. This T-square holds the board in place until nails can be driven in at the corners in proper position while the nailing operation is being completed. Where one man is nailing the wall panels, it is a good idea to hang the panel by a temporary nail at the top center. Then place temporary nails at the corners to hold panel in position for permanent nailing. Nails should be placed from 6 to 8 inches apart. Place nails at least % of an inch from edge of panel. Do Not Use Flat-Head or Large Nails for Centers of Panels Always use Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners for centers of panels. They clinch into the back of the board and have the holding power of nine finishing nails. They resist any amount of pulling or twisting that might be caused by settling of the building or warping of studs and joists. See pages 8 and 9 for detailed instruc- tions on the use of the fastener. If it is absolutely necessary to use nails, apply center of panels first, using l-inch No. 16 finishing brads, placed every 8 inches apart. Drive them almost to the surface and then use a nail-set to slightly countersink below surface of board. Do not hit surface of panel. For the proper application of Upson Board over masonry walls and ceilings —fur with 44 to 4 inch thick furring strips set at 16-inch centers ‘strips on 16-inch centers. II. Application Over Old Plaster (Covered by Upson Blue Prints Nos. 100, 101, 102, 103) While it is not necessary, we recommend that for a first-class job, old plastered ceil- ings be furred with 7% x 2-inch wooden Low spots can then be shimmed or built up to afford a level nailing surface. Next apply the board to the furring. Where the plaster is level and an inex- pensive job is desired, Upson Board can be nailed directly over the old plaster, using 2-inch finishing nails for centers and 2-inch flat-headed nails for edges of panels. In applying Upson Board to side walls that are even, nail panels directly over plas- er. Locate studs and apply board as pre- viously described. Baseboard should be re- moved, but if that is impossible, a backband or mold may be run around top of base and around trim. Skirtings, picture moldings, etc., should be removed and replaced over the Upson Board. If Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners are to be used, the old plaster must be furred, as One man applying large, sturdy panel of Upson Board on a wall. Note the headers and furring strips on the ceiling. Also T-brace for ceiling application old plaster does not provide a sufficiently solid background for the use of fasteners. For furring, use 1 x 134-inch or 2-inch wood strips on 16-inch centers. Furring must be solid, as Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners will not clinch into board properly if furring is springy. See directions for applying Upson Self- Clinching Fasteners on pages 8 and 9. Ill. Application Over Brick or Stone Walls (Covered by Upson Blue Print No. 166) Brick and stone walls are usually con- ductors of moisture and will communicate dampness to interiors unless waterproofed with a coat of asphaltum or other protective material. If walls are subjected to unusual dampness, paint the back of Upson Board with good oil paint. The walls should then be furred with 7% x 2-inch strips on 16-inch centers. The furring should be straight and even, so as to give a flat, smooth wall when the board is applied. It is sometimes possible to nail these strips to soft brick, but usually it is necessary to use wooden plugs or screws in fastening the strips. Then follow previous directions for applying the panels of Upson Board. IV. Application Over Matched Lumber and Shiplap Be sure that the old wood lining is level and flat. If it is not, fur it to get an even nailing surface, and apply as previously de- scribed. If the old wood lining is not even, fur with 7-inch strips and 16-inch centers. Apply the board to the furring, using Upson Self- Clinching Fasteners which fasten the panels securely in place from the back. If the wood lining is even, it is not neces- sary to fur, and the boards may be applied directly to it with Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners. V. Application Over Curved Surfaces Upson Board can be used on curved sur- faces. This is often desirable in large halls, theaters, or public buildings. An extra fram- ing is all that is necessary. The illustration shows details of this special framing. Sharp curves should be avoided, so as not to put too great a strain on the board. Application of Upson Fibre-Tile (Covered by Upson Blue Prints Nos. 8, 52, 54, 102, 103) Upson Fibre-Tile is a special Upson Board with deep, permanent, tile-like in- dentations. It comes in two patterns—the square and oblong. It is thoroughly water- proofed to withstand moisture, steam, and even ordinary leaks. When applied, it looks like porcelain tile, yet costs about ;'y th as much. Upson Board and Upson Fibre-Tile may be used to re-cover the walls and ceilings of an old bathroom, or kitchen, without re- moving the old wall and ceiling material. Apply Upson Fibre-Tile as you would Upson Board. The same application rules may be used to re-cover old, cracked Keenes Cement or unsightly wood wainscoting. See Blue Print No. 52 for application in kitchen. Blue Prints Nos. 54, 102 and 103 give three separate bathroom installations. Application of Partitions Erect studding—nail headers and nailing pieces at top of baseboard and at ceiling angle. It is also advisable to nail crosspieces between studs about half way between floor and ceiling. Level all studs and joists, so that board will be flat. Put on fasteners (see Fastener Direction Booklet). Then follow directions in ‘‘Ap- plication New Construction.” Apply board on both sides of studding, apply trim and paint. Painting and Decorating Upson Board If by any chance you have used finishing nails on centers of panels, they must be care- Beautiful effects are obtained by stippling the second coat of paint. Notice painter in fore- ground stippling second coat with a stiff brush fully countersunk just below the surface. The nail holes should then be filled. White lead as it is found in the bottom of the can is the best filler. It will not crack or break loose or show through like ordinary putty or other substitutes. It is best to fill nail holes after the first coat of paint has been applied. A good second coat will cover the spots so that they will not be visible to the naked eye. (Don’t forget, though, that Upson Self- Clinching Fasteners will eliminate those costly, unsightly, irritating nail holes, at the same time holding better than ordinary nails.) Upson Processed Board has the most per- fect painting surface of any board. Either the pebbled or smooth side can be used. Practically any kind of paint that can be used on wood, plaster, or steel can be applied to Upson Board without a priming or sizing coat. For ordinary purposes, “flat” or dull fin- ish paints are more satisfactory. These are washable, have no gloss, and reflect a soft, restful light. They can be obtained in a wide range of colors—from soft, dainty tints to deep, rich shades. 14 A FEW MINUTES’ STUDY WILL GIVE YOU COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE Plan wisely and Upeoniee rightly! We will be glad to help you! We truly believe Upson Board is the nearest-perfect lining for every kind of build- ing—new or old! We truly believe there is nothing better for re-covering plaster that has become un- sightly or unsafe. We know of no other material that offers the same unlimited possibilities for artistic and beautiful interiors. But as in utilizing every other building material—whether interior trim, paint, flooring, or even fixtures—Upson Board should be properly applied. Proper application, according to the di- rections and suggestions in this Blue Book, will lead to lasting satisfaction!

Panel Designs and Methods of Application Are Not Limited to the Particular Type of Room Shown in Any Particular Blue Print This Upson Blue Print Book is essential to architect, dealer, contractor and home owner for two important reasons: First—it points the way to attractive, artistic and interest- ing walls and ceilings of lasting beauty—appropriate backgrounds for furnishings—that are sanitary and permanent. Second—it points the way to correct and proper methods of applying Upson Board—whether used on new or old walls and ceilings—under any conditions whatso- ever. No matter what the room or what the conditions, this Blue Print Book offers a variety of interesting and artistic designs to the consumer. It also shows different ways of meeting almost any problem of installation which may present itself. The blue prints have been worked out by famous architects and interior decorators, also carefully checked and reviewed by dozens of practical carpenters and contractors. Architects, Dealers, Contractors and Users of Upson Board should study the different designs of Paneling, the different designs of Trim, and Methods of Application. The panel scheme which seems best adapted for the room to be Upsonized should first be selected. Proper and har- monious trim should next be chosen. ; Reference should then be made to drawings in the book which show how to meet the particular conditions in the building or room to be Upsonized. There is a design to meet nearly every fancy or condition. One blue print, for example, may show the application of Upson Board on furring strips in a new living room. Another THE UPSON COMPANY . UPSON UPSON paOUCTS may show the application of Upson Board direct to studs without plaster in a new living room—and so on. Panel Design as well as Method of Application as shown in Different Drawings are Interchangeable. The owner may choose any panel design—no matter whether it be shown as applied to new walls or old walls— provided he follows the instructions exhibited in some other drawing to fit the particular conditions which must be met in the room or rooms to be Upsonized. The method of applying Upson Board over old plaster as shown in the blue print of the bedroom may also be used as a guide for Upsonizing the living room. It would be impos- sible to show every condition in every type of room. To insure satisfaction, simply follow in each case the in- structions which meet the particular condition of the room or rooms to be Upsonized, applying any design of paneling that may be preferred. If you are particularly impressed with the design of any of the trim shown in this book, we can tell the Upson dealer where the trim can be obtained if he does not have it in stock. If the user of Upson Board does not find just what he wants in this book in the way of design, trim or method of application, just send us an exact drawing with dimensions of room and of openings as explained on page 14 and we will have our Architectural Department get out a special design to meet conditions or the ideas of the buyer. Also—Our Department of Decoration will be glad to suggest color schemes or otherwise help you with your in- dividual problems. We are always at the service of architects, ‘ contractors, carpenters, home owners and Upson Board dealers. SS | LOCKPORT. NEW YORK Bat 19 Here is a very good and appropriate Upson Board treatment for a living room, dining room, library or hall. The panel design has a Colonial or Old English atmosphere, and has a tendency to seem to decrease the height of a room. If the ceiling is very low, the frieze effect may be omitted and the panels run the full length from the floor to the ceiling. This design is suitable for either a large or small room by making the above mentioned changes. The number of panels may be increased or decreased to suit the size of the room, and either 32-inch or 48-inch-wide Upson Board is appropriate. In applying the ceiling, the miter blocks may be omitted. However, they add beauty to the ceiling and avoid miter sawing of decorative strips. Other ceiling designs as shown on Blue Prints 150 and 151 may be used with this room. A room finished as shown in this drawing offers a very artistic background for color, and since the room has a frieze, greater opportunity for varying the color effects 1s offered. This design makes a very beautiful living room if the Upson Board walls are finished in a rich cream or antique cafe au lait tone. Beauti- ful effects can be obtained by stippling the Upson Board in New Room on Furring Strips With Reference to Blue Print No. 1 second coat. This background gives the widest possible latitude for interior decorative schemes. A dining room in this design would be fasci- nating done in a warm gray with draperies of cretonne in blue and mulberry, and with furni- ture in dull mahogany. A plain dull gray or blue rug would be appropriate for the floor. We do not recommend walls of one color and woodwork of another—except perhapsinalibrary or den—as, for example, tan walls with natural varnish or walnut-stained trim. The most pleas- ing effect will be obtained by having the wall of a chosen color with woodwork in a trifle darker rubbed enamel. A line of color inside the mold- ing edge contributes a pleasing accent. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Your attention is particularly called to the fact that all studs and joists shown in this drawing have been furred or stripped in order Directions for Mixing Paints to obtain an extra good job. The furring on the ceiling should be at least 34 inch thick, and 2 inches wide, and should be of well-seasoned lumber. Care must be exercised to have the furring solid, as Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners require a foundation that will not spring in order to work properly. In many cases, studs and joists are twisted or out of line and the’old plaster is uneven. In such cases, it is desirable to fur the surface to be Upsonized. This gives an even, level surface as low spots can be shimmed. Furring should be applied on 16-inch centers, placing extra nailing pieces so that panels can be nailed on all four sides. If furring is not used as suggested in this blue print, window and door frames must be reduced in width to offset the thickness of furring shown in this drawing. Be sure to have nailing pieces at the top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished. Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. This is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface. However, if the flatting oil is unobtainable, use— 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 of a gallon pure turpentine 34 of a gallon raw linseed oil \% pt. pure drier These formulas will make three gallons of paint, which will cover 1800 square feet, one coat. Please bear in mind that you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: — 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1% gallons pure turpentine ¥% pint light high grade enamel varnish \ pint pure drier This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint. If this amount is not required, the formula can be divided so that less is mixed up. If an eggshell gloss finish is desired, the follow- ing formula is satisfactory. This is a splendid finish for bathrooms, kitchens or where walls should be washed often and are subject to steam and moisture. 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 to 1 gallon Dutch Boy flatting oil A scant half-gallon light high grade enamel varnish Again, in case the flatting oil is unobtain- able, use the following formula: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead & gallon light high grade enamel var- nish 1% gallons pure turpentine lg pint pure drier You will observe that we have given several formulas for obtaining splendid re- sults with white lead. If the paint is to be tinted, add the tinting colors right after breaking up the white lead into a workable paste and before the remain- ing thinners are added. Use colors in oil which may be bought at any paint store. First thin the colors in oil to paint consist- ency with either flatting oil or turpentine. Then, strain through cheesecloth and add to the white lead extremely small amounts at a time, mixing the thinned colors thoroughly with the white lead. If an extremely soft, velvety finish, either in the flat or eggshell gloss is desired, we recommend stippling the final coat with an ordinary stippling brush. aoe ZN rah STEPS EDTE | Eo CASING wo CEILING BEAM <2ZZzA he cc eee DECORATIVE STRIP . 4 Vs f SECTION THRU WINDOW.

Upson Board in Place of Plaster on Studs—New Work Here is a pleasing and individual Colonial or Old English design, suitable for a living room, dining room, library or hall. This design will fit almost any size room sim- ply by increasing or decreasing the number of panels on the side walls. It has a tendency to increase the height of the room. The wall treatment suggested may also be used for a large bedroom with satisfactory re- sults, although the ceiling design is not so ap- propriate for a bedroom. It would be better to substitute a plainer ceiling treatment as shown in Blue Print 150 or 151. While this is particularly for a room where Upson Board is to be used instead of plaster, the design can be used with equally good results in either new or old work. Your attention is called to the unusually artistic ceiling, which has the effect of being a With Reference to Blue Print No. 3 faithful reproduction of expensive plaster work. The ceiling strips should be finished the same as the Upson Board. When finished in a light tone this ceiling produces an unusually hand- some effect. The miter blocks may be omitted from this design, but in so doing the ceiling will not be as beautiful. Unusually delicate moldings which add to the beauty of the room have been used in the angle treatment. The design as shown has a tendency to increase the height of the room. The mantel shown on this drawing is a stand- ard mantel, and we shall be glad to furnish the name and address of the manufacturer upon request.

Upson Board in New Room on Furring Strips This design is unusually interesting because of its curved ceiling. The ceiling is easily con- structed if the details shown on the drawing are followed carefully. The angle shows a cornice that fits in admi- rably with the ceiling, and gives a beautiful, at- tractive finished effect. The type of treatment shown in this room is Old English, but it is so simple that it can be adapted to almost any style of home. The side walls, of course, could be used for any room, but the entire plan is most suitable for a dining room, library or large living room, if the curved ceiling is used. The curved ceilmg may be bent to any degree that appears best in the room, although care should be taken not to get too great a radiant, as it would spoil the effect. If decorative strips are desired, those used may be changed for No. 38, No. 44 or No. 49 as shown in drawings on Sheet No. 152. If the room is very large, we recommend decorative strips a trifle wider than those shown in this drawing, say 3 or 4 inches wide but of the same design. With Reference to Blue Print No. 4 Moldings for this room have been carefully chosen because of the appropriateness, refine- ment and general pleasing design. The mantel shown on this drawing is a stand- ard make and we shall be very glad to furnish the name and address of the manufacturer upon application. Those desiring a room in their home with individuality different from the average home will find here a design that will just meet their needs. Such a room as this always has a pleas- ing appearance. We would advise finishing the ceiling in a flat tint of cream or other neutral tone that harmo- nizes with the side walls. We do not recommend walls of one color and woodwork of another—except perhaps in a library or den—as, for example, tan walls with natural varnish or walnut-stained trim. The most pleasing effect will be obtained by having the wall of a chosen color with woodwork in a trifle darker rubbed enamel. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) Directions for Mixing Paints which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Your attention is particularly called to the fact that all studs and joists shown in this drawing have been furred or stripped in order to obtain an extra good job. The furring on the ceiling should be at last 34-inch thick, and 2 inches wide, and should be of well-sedagned lumber. Care must be exercised to have the furring solid, as Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners require a foundation that will not spring in order to work properly. In many cases, studs and joists are twisted or out of line and the old plaster is uneven. In such cases, it is desirable to fur the surface to be Upsonized. This gives an even, level surface as low spots can be shimmed. Furring should be applied on 16-inch centers. If furring is not used as suggested in this blue print, window and door frames must be reduced in width to offset the thickness of furring shown in this drawing. Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. This is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface.

Please bear in mind that you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1% gallons pure turpentine ¥% pint light high grade enamel varnish \y pint pure drier This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint.

A good deal of thought and time has been spent on this design in order to obtain a room that is artistic and yet not over- ornate, as such rooms sometimes are. The plate rail has a small bracket. Above is a frieze that offers an opportunity for variation in color to make the room interest- ing. This design is suitable for any type of home, but should be used only in a Dining Room or perhaps a Den. The beamed ceiling is a very simple de- sign suitable for a small room. However, other ceiling designs on Blue Prints 150 and 151 may be used instead of the beamed ceiling, if desired. The one shown here, how- ever, 1s particularly suited to the room if a plate rail is to be used. In a very large Dining Room, small cross beams may be put in between the large beams which run crosswise of the room. We suggest placing these cross beams about 32 inches apart in large rooms. Beams should never run the long way of the room, for when this is done, they give the appearance of a line of railroad tracks. In a large room the side wall panels may be varied as to size, but in no case should they be wider than 48 inches, and in no case narrower than those shown in the drawing which is drawn to scale. The side wall decorative strips should be 3 or 4 inches wide in a large room. The strip shown, which is No. 4, need not be used, as decora- tive strips No. 40 or No. 42 shown on Blue Print 152 may be appropriately substituted. Upson Board in New Room on Studs With Reference to Blue Print No. 5-B Here is shown a more elaborate room finish, suitable for Living Room, Dining Room, Library or Hall. We cannot con- ceive of any room being paneled more ar- tistically. The panel scheme forms an extremely satisfactory background for colorful draper- ies, furniture, rugs and other furnishings in the home. Through the magic of color, cor- rectly selected, anyone should be proud of a room finished as illustrated, for it will com- pare favorably with the finest examples of model rooms shown in home making maga- zines. In this design, Upson Fiber Strips are shown in combination with suitable wood mouldings. This idea of combining Upson Fiber Decorative Strips with wood in an attractive, artistic manner, originated with The Upson Company. To obtain the charming and effective background as shown, no great expenditure need be made for the various kinds of fin- ishing mouldings. Upson Fiber Decorative Strips are inexpensive, work up without waste, require no sanding and can be painted or enameled with beautiful effect. We always recommend in repair work that the ceiling be furred with 74-inch by 2-inch strips placed 16 inches apart and leveled up so that a perfectly even and attractive ceiling is obtained. Notice that the ceiling is of simple de- sign yet beautiful. Every part of the panel- ing of this room is easily carried out, since the drawing is absolutely complete in de- tails, showing just how to use Upson Board in conjunction with Upson Fiber Decora- tive Strips and mouldings, and also how to obtain the extremely effective cornice through the use of Upson Fiber Decorative Strips. In fact, if you will look at the draw- ing, you will find that there are only three distinct designs of mouldings used—there is a finishing mould used for the sides of the Decorative Strips, a wood moulding in the cornice, and a small moulding placed in the corner of the room. _ This room would be particularly effective in putty color, deep old ivory or even light tan. The panels of Upson Board might be further heightened in their artistic effect by being mottled through the use of soft brown and the woodwork antiqued in the same tone effect. Any good decorator or painter can put these effects on Upson Board more easily than on any other known wall cover- ing material. And the best part is that the walls are then sanitary and can be refinished or redecorated quickly and easily. Upson Board in New Room on Studs With Reference to Blue Print No. 5-A This design presents a new feature in the application of famous Blue-center Upson Board. It introduces a new Upson Fiber Decorative Strip, originated by us and used in conjunction with wood mouldings to obtain a beautiful panel effect like those so much used in the better class of homes. This design is suitable for a Living Room, Dining Room, Bedroom or Hall. The paneled walls as shown in this draw- ing make the most appropriate background for furniture and furnishings, for draperies, furniture, lamps. Moreover, the Upson Fiber Decorative Strips are applied exactly as wood strips would be applied, but are less expensive. : If you will look at the sketch of the room in the center of the blue print, you will get a fair idea of the attractive walls which are obtainable with practically three wood mouldings—a cornice mould, an angle mould for corners, and an artistic edge mould for the Upson Fiber Decorative Strips. : Upson Fiber Decorative Strips save con- siderable money because they require no sanding; have no knot holes, bad spots and other faults causing waste. They are quickly and easily cut and fitted, and take all finishes perfectly excepting water stains. We call your special attention to the cornice treatment of this room which is shown in detail on the blue print. It is to be observed that the cornice is to be built up with Upson Fiber Decorative Strips placed one on the other, giving a beautiful relief- in-shadow effect. The method of treating corners as shown in detailed drawing No. 3, should also have particular attention. A mould less than 34 of an inch should not be used—a 7%-inch mould is better. This blue print shows Upson Board and Upson Fiber Decorative Strips applied direct to studs. In case it is desired to apply them over old plaster the Upson Board can be nailed direct over old plaster on side walls. The ceiling, for a good job, should be furred with 7%-inch by 2-inch- wide furring strips placed 16 inches apart. Upson Board in New Room on Furring Strips With Reference to Blue Print No. 6 Here is a most interesting panel scheme which is easily possible by the use of Upson Board. It is particularly suitable for a Hall, Dining Room, or Library. The style is somewhat English or Colonial, but can be used in any period or type of home. If used in a small hall, the paneling height should not run quite as high as in- dicated on the drawing, but should be approximately three-quarters of the dis- tance from the floor to the ceiling. Note that the ceiling has a plain but at- tractive beam. The trim used in this design is special, but can be easily obtained from any good planing mill or wood-working company. When the Upson Board and trim are applied as directed, and the room enameled or painted in appropriate colors, you have the effect of one of the Old Colonial paneled rooms. The dimensions of the panels should not be changed much from those given on the design, whether your room be large or small. The ceiling beams, however, can be varied slightly to fit conditions. Wide decorative strips can be used on the ceiling in place of the beams, although they will not be as effective as a beamed ceiling. If you do not care particularly for the dec- orative strips as shown on this drawing, strip No. 38 shown on Blue Print 152 or a plain wood strip may be used for the rails, but of course it would not give quite the finished effect. If this design is carried out for use in a Hall, when enameled in soft ivory colors with a frieze tinted or mottled, you have a most attractive room. oo Pha ae mR —1> CASING « ‘ @ —S CEILING .BEAM a) eA | se | SS VS DECORATIVE STRIP | (4) .

Upson Board in New Room on Furring Strips Here we see the adaptability of Upson Board for a living room or library. This represents a most pleasing appearance when completed. The panel design is simple and can be adapted to any size room by increasing or decreasing the number of panels. This is a modern room and therefore adaptable for any kind of home. The frieze is plain with just a decorative strip to line off the panels, although any beamed ceil- ing can be used to advantage. Note that in this drawing, complete working details for the treatment of the board around the chimney as well as for the bookcases are given. A plain English or Colonial mantel is recom- mended for this room. Nothing of an elaborate design with columns or carving should be used. The moldings are largely special but can be obtained from any good planing mill. We do not recommend walls of one color and With Reference to Blue Print No. 7 woodwork of another—except perhaps in a | library or den—as, for example, tan walls with natural varnish or walnut-stained trim. Beauti- ful effects can be obtained bystippling thesecond coat. The most pleasing effect will be obtained by having the wall of a chosen color with wood- work in a trifle darker rubbed enamel. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Be sure to have nailing pieces at the top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished. Directions for Mixing Paints Your attention is particularly called to the fact that all studs and joists shown in this draw- ing have been furred or stripped in order to ob- tain an extra good job. The furring on the ceil- ing should be at least 34-inch thick, and 2 inches ‘wide, and should be of well-seasoned lumber. Care must be exercised to have the furring solid, as Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners require a foundation that will not spring in order to work properly. In many cases, studs and joists are twisted or out of line and the old plaster is uneven. In such cases, it is desirable to fur the surface to be Up- sonized. This gives an even, level surface as low spots can be shimmed. Furring should be applied on 16-inch centers, placing extra nailing pieces so that panels can be nailed on all four sides. If furring is not used as suggested in this blue print, window and door frames must be reduced in width to offset the thickness of furring shown in this drawing. Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. This is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface. However, if the flatting oil is unobtainable, use— 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 of a gallon pure turpentine 34 of a gallon raw linseed oil \4 pt. pure drier These formulas will make three gallons of paint, which will cover 1800 square feet, one coat. Please bear in mind that you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1% gallons pure turpentine & pint light high grade enamel varnish \% pint pure drier This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint. If this amount is not required, the formula can be divided so that less is mixed up. If an eggshell gloss finish is desired, the follow- ing formula is satisfactory. This is a splendid finish for bathrooms, kitchens or where walls should be washed often and are subject to steam and moisture. 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead % to | gallon Dutch Boy flatting oil A scant half-gallon light high grade enamel varnish Again, in case the flatting oil is unobtain- able, use the following formula: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead &% gallon light high grade enamel var- nis 14 gallons pure turpentine Y pint pure drier You will observe that we have given several formulas for obtaining splendid re- sults with white lead, and we recommend the flatting oil on account of its producing a flat, even effect. If the paint is to be tinted, add the tintin colors right after breaking up the white lead into a workable paste and before the remain- ing thinners are added. Use colors in oil which may be bought at any paint store. First thin the colors in oil to paint consist- ency with either flatting oil or turpentine. Then, strain through cheesecloth and add to the white lead extremely small amounts at a time, mixing the thinned colors thoroughly with the white lead. If an extremely soft, velvety finish either in the flat or eggshell gloss is desired, we recommend stippling the final coat with an ordinary stippling brush. LE SECTION.

For this kitchen of Upson Fibre-Tile and Upson Board gives walls and ceilings that are easily and inexpensively applied, that are economical and within the reach of every home-owner. In this design we have used the square pattern of Upson Fibre-Tile as a wainscot running a little more than two-thirds of the distance from the floor to the ceiling. Above it is regular Upson Board. The entire treatment of the room is very plain so that cleaning or refinishing is easily accomplished. This not only gives a kitchen that is washable but also one that can be renewed very quickly whenever desired. The wood trim is extremely simple, but can hardly be improved upon. It is easily cleaned, since there are no corners to collect dust or dirt, and there are no fancy mold- ings. All trim is rounded so that dust and dirt are quickly removed. The woodwork of the room and the Up- son Fibre-Tile should be finished with high- grade enamel in white or in an ivory tint, while above, the Upson Board can be fin- ished a warm gray, a sunshine yellow or a turquoise blue. It is strongly recommended that you keep away from the old-fashioned green, drab and slate colors which always tend to make a dingy kitchen. A kitchen finished with two undercoats of white or ivory and two coats of high-grade enamel will, to the housewife’s surprise, be easy to keep clean. Or, if preferred, it can be finished in any of the harmonious, smart new color schemes. It will not soil as easily as one might think. The layout of the furniture in this kitchen is simply shown as an idea of a good ar- rangement, but of course need not be fok lowed. Upson Board in Place of Plaster on Lath— New Work With Reference to Blue Print No. 51 The design of this Upsonized room is suit- able where there is a high ceiling or in a large room. The paneling design, whichis modern, is best suited for a dining room, living room, or library, or in a good sized hall. Any large room finished in this design will be extremely attractive because of the interesting cornices and ceiling beams. The moldings are plain, and the frieze offers an opportunity for variation in color effects. By the judicious use of colors, the height of the ceiling may be pulled down if desired. The angle treatment on the left-hand side of the drawing shows exactly how the board is applied over lath, and how the decorative strips are inserted between the top of the base and the lath and then followed around the panel from the corner and back to the base. A study of this detail is worth while. The ceiling beams may be placed a little farther apart if desired, although in small rooms they appear to best advantage when they are placed about 16 inches apart. Other ceiling designs may be substituted for the one shown here, if desired. We wish to call particular attention to the fact that the décorative strips, particularly the frieze decorative strips, do not require nailing pieces back of the board, because the laths take the place of nailing strips. In new work, however, where there is no lath and the Upson Board is applied directly to the studs or furring, it is necessary to have nailing strips placed in back of the frieze decorative strips so that the board may be nailed on all four sides without gaps appear- ing. Upson Board in Place of Plaster on Studs—-New Work With Reference to Blue Print No. 50 Here is one of the simplest and most in- expensive methods ofapplying Upson Board. The design can easily be made to fit any room, and is particularly adapted for a small room where it will have the effect of giving height to the ceiling. It can be used appropriately for dining room, living room, library, hall or bedroom with splendid results, particularly if a har- monious color treatment is carefully car- ried out. The design cannot be said to be of any period, which makes it possible to use it appropriately in any home or equally well in an office or public building. While this design is of a room in which Upson Board is used as a substitute for lath and plaster, the Upson Board may, with slight changes, be applied over old plaster. The. drawing, however, is intended to give explicit directions for applying Upson Board and filling in spaces that were originally in- tended to be taken up by the greater thick- ness of plaster. A study of the angle treatments as shown on the left will reveal how a strip is inserted between the baseboard and the wall board, and how it is continued around each panel. The trim, moldings and decorative strips are all of simple design, and produce a com- paratively inexpensive room of beauty and interest. If the Upson Board is not substituted for plaster, the decorative strips may be run around the panels and placed on top of the base instead of base cap mold. This makes a good Upson Board installation. Upson Board in Kitchen on Studs With Reference to Blue Print No. 52 Here is another attractive, easily-cleaned kitchen finished with Upson Fibre-Tile and Upson Board. Either the square or oblong pattern of Upson Fibre-Tile may be used for the wainscot of this room. Above the wainscot, plain Upson Board is used in the panel effect indicated on the drawing. This is a simple, plain treatment, as all kitchen treatments should be, in order to make them easy to wash and keep clean. Note that there are no fancy moldings to catch the dust or make cleaning difficult. The Upson Fibre-Tile and wood trim are both finished in good white enamel with two undercoats of flat white and two coats of enamel. The Upson Board upper walls can be appropriately finished in any tint that will add cheer and attractiveness to this room, such as turquoise blue, warm gray, sunshine yellow, or rich ivory. Please note that two methods are shown for the treatment of the angle or cornices, either of which may be used in building this room. Can you not picture in your mind an Upsonized kitchen of this design with the Upson Fibre-Tile and woodwork finished in a cream and the Upson Board upper walls in a deep, rich, warm cream or old ivory, robin’s-egg blue—any of the new, smart color combinations? Such a kitchen is full of sunshine and not like the old dreary kitchens with plastered walls. ae aot DECORATIVE yy y /} a ie ian tN se ‘as ; 47, ee ( Fy MOCORNIC | } Wh ea tt 3, | ' ij ta if ® [RTS al ‘ . ie iff <2 eS Le es oe ais CORNICE cae BS) “aK bad peak eae a CORNER STRIP S UPSON BOARD 22 KITCHEN oa FURRING STRIPS Sar A Lae) AS iy UPSON BoarD SUBSTITUTED 6- PLASTER. 02 STUDS-NEW Work - , x hE t4 Sori < Br SURE TO READ GIRECTIONS FOR. i Averyina Upson Boars comascriy ras Z mi ee a SE Sur 1 READ DIRECTIONS FOR.

Upson .Board in Breakfast Nook on Studs With Reference to Blue Print No. 53 This plan shows an attractive little break- fast nook finished in Upson Board. Breakfast nooks are gaining in popularity, and even in homes where no special space has been provided for such a room, people are adding them in their kitchens. This plan gives the information you need in order to build an attractive breakfast nook just off your kitchen. In many homes it is comparatively easy to utilize an unused portion of the kitchen or to add a small room to the kitchen and finish it as shown. The main idea of a breakfast room is to have it bright and cheery. Upson Board will enable you to carry out this idea to perfec- tion, as the walls may be treated in any soft, attractive shade desired. Paneling shown in this room is very sim- ple, permitting quick application and easy decoration. The angle at the left of the drawing shows at a glance just how the Upson Board is applied, while the drawing at the top and right-hand side of the page shows the sim- ple but effective wood trim recommended for this room. The benches and table may be of any size. Those shown on the accompanying blue print are a stock design carried by one of the large manufacturers, and can be purchased ready to set in place. Dimensions for the seat and table are given on the blue print. We shall be glad to give you the name of the manufacturer of this set. Can’t you imagine how attractive this breakfast nook would be, finished in tur- quoise blue with ivory woodwork, and ging- ham curtains at the windows? It would also be extremely attractive if decorated in put- ty or a warm gray tone, with gay cretonne ‘ which the dominating tints are rose and lue. Moldings With Reference to Blue Print No. 152 The selection of moldings and trim for your rooms is important, both as to design and quality. Here is shown a large selection of excep- tionally-well-designed moldings, suitable for use with plans shown in the Upson Blue Book. Every molding shown has been used in one or more of the designs of Upson Board interiors shown in Upson Blue Prints. Some of these moldings are stock patterns or can easily be obtained at any good wood- working mill. The exact designs as shown need not be followed, however, if similar moldings may be more easily obtained locally. It pays to buy first-quality trim, even though the first cost may be a trifle higher than other grades. Avoid knotty, sappy, checked orimperfect woods. Be sure your trim is kiln-dried so it will not shrink after application. The shrinking of trim gives an unsightly or un- finished line between wallpaper and trim— or an unpainted edge if wall is painted—so be sure the trim you use is thoroughly dry. Insist that your trim be cut smoothly and perfectly without splinters, roughness or gouges. It should come to you ready to apply, without any great amount of sand- papering being necessary. Cornices With Reference to Blue Print No. 156 This sheet exhibits fourteen methods of handling the problem of a cornice in a room. Both simple and elaborate cornice treat- ments are shown. The simple cornices are best adapted for use in bedrooms and small rooms, while the more elaborate ones are suitable for a living room, dining room, library, den or hall. A correct cornice treatment greatly en- hances the beauty of a room by giving it a finishing touch. It eliminates the look of bareness where walls and ceiling meet. The selection of the proper decorative strip to use with each cornice is important, as the strips and cornices should harmonize for the most pleasing effects. Following are given the numbers of dec- orative strips which combine well with the various cornices. (The numbers of decora- tive strips in the left-hand column refer to numbered strips on Blue Print 152, while the cornice numbers on the right refer to Blue Print 156.) Decorative Strip No. 38 with Cornice No. C- 1 Decorative Strip No. 42 with Cornice No. C- 2 Decorative Strip No. 44 with Cornice No. C- 3 Decorative Strip No. 49 with Cornice No. C- 4 Decorative Strip No. 44 with Cornice No. Decorative Strip No. 42 with Cornice No. Decorative Strips Nos. 44 and 47 with Cornice No. Decorative Strip No. 42 with Cornice No. Decorative Strips Nos. 44 and 47 with Cornice No. C- 9 Decorative Strip No. 42 with Cornice No, C-10 Decorative Strip No. 38 with Cornice No. C-11 Decorative Strip No. 42 with Cornice No. C-12 Decorative Strip No. 44 with Cornice No. C-13 Decorative Strip No. 42 with Cornice No. C-14 Application of Upson Board in Single Store With Reference to Blue Print No. 157 Here is a plan of Upsonizing which has been used in one of the finest drugstores in the country. Itis equally adapted, however, to any single retail store. You will agree that its appearance is far superior to crudely-designed steel ceilings or streaky-appearing wood, cracking plaster, or heavy, brittle gypsum board. Extra-Thick—Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quarter Inch) is recommended for use in all fine home and public room installations on account of its greater strength. In using Upson Board in stores, it is well to select a good design, such as the one shown here, and not attempt to carry out a too simple effect with small panels and nar- row, cheap-looking decorative strips. The store shown here, you will observe, not only has an attractive cornice, but also has column effects on the side walls, and a beamed ceiling, all of which may be made to harmonize with new or old fixtures. Detailed drawings at the left and right of the sheet give exact information as to the correct method of applying the Upson Board, moldings and dimensions, so that this design can readily be executed by any good contractor. Note that Upson Board has been used as a backing for the shelving in this store. _ We will gladly have our Interior Decora- tive Department lay out a plan for Upson- izing any special job. zy DECORATIVE STRUP 4) SS | EOS a a b—t-ewt- : ae can ol i f ¢ i KEY ister TARE \sue PLAN a ae | ees StS UPSON BOARD «2 BREAKFAST ROOM 2a STUDS SY WALL AND BE SURE TO READ DIRECTIONS FOR 3S Sie APPLYING Upson Board CORRECTLY OeSQN APPLICATION. 2" SHEET NO.53 CEILING PANELING Sool eRe Leta Senta oft Fn Se ae ee re Lo = aE T DNICRSE a.

Upson Board and Upson Fibre-Tile in Bathroom on Studs Here is an interesting and attractive bath- room for a new home, finished with a wainscot of Upson Fibre-Tile in the square pattern, and upper walls and ceilings of Upson Board. More and more builders of new homes are learning that Upson Fibre-Tile and Upson Board are the most practical as well as the most ecu- nomical materials for the walls and ceilings of bathrooms. When properly applied, Upson Board and Upson Fibre-Tile should stand the extreme con- ditions of heat, cold and moisture to which the average bathroom is subjected better than al- most any other material. ‘The design shown here can be used for a bath- room of any home, no matter how moderate or elaborate, and will produce a clean, sanitary, easily-maintained bathroom. Upson Fibre-Tile has practically all the vir- tues of expensive ceramic tile as well as many advantages of its own. It cannot crack, craze, With Reference to Blue Print No. 54 or loosen, and costs only about one-tenth as much as ceramic tile. When finished with at least two coats of flat paint and two coats of high-grade enamel, Up- son Fibre-Tile can easily be kept bright and clean by occasional wiping with a damp cloth. Accidental splashes can easily be wiped off with- out injuring the surface in any way. When necessary to get at the plumbing or electric wiring, a single panel or more of Upson Board or Upson Fibre-Tile can be removed and replaced without in any way damaging the panel. We want to call your special attention to the wood trim used in this bathroom. It is of simple design, in keeping with what a bathroom should be. Note that the trim shown has no cornice or fancy lines to catch and hold dust and dirt. A bathroom in either a new or old home in which Upson Fibre-Tile has been applied, fin- ished with glistening fixtures, with plain Upson Board panels above in turquoise blue or Directions for Mixing Paints rich ivory, gives a bathroom of Jasting attrac- tiveness. Be sure to use at least two undercoats of flat and two coats of a high-grade enamel. Finish the plain Upson Board in an eggshell gloss or flat enamel. A bathroom or kitchen should never be finished in flat paints, as it is not easy to remove dirt and grease from them. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Be sure to have nailing pieces at the top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished. Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. This is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface. However, if the flatting oil is unobtainable, use— 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 of a gallon pure turpentine 34 of a gallon raw linseed oil \% pt. pure drier These formulas will make three gallons of paint, which will cover 1800 square feet, one coat. Please bear in mind that you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1% gallons pure turpentine ¥% pint light high grade enamel varnish 14 pint pure drier This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint. If this amount is not required, the formula can be divided so that less is mixed up. If an eggshell gloss finish is desired, the follow- ing formula is satisfactory. This is a splendid finish for bathrooms, kitchens or where walls should be washed often and are subject to steam and moisture. 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead % to 1 gallon Dutch Boy flatting oil A scant half-gallon light high grade enamel varnish Again, in case the flatting oil is unobtain- able, use the following formula: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead % gallon light high grade enamel var- nis 1% gallons pure turpentine ¥ pint pure drier You will observe that we have given several formulas for obtaining splendid re- sults with white lead, and we recommend the flatting oil on account of its producing a flat, even effect.

Upson Board Used for Show Window Backs and Portable Screens Just a few of the countless possibilities of the use of Upson Board for store window back- grounds and screens are shown on this sheet. Backgrounds of Upson Board are far hand- somer than those made of wood. When finished in some neutral color, such as gray, putty, or rich ivory, they display merchandise to better advantage than do other backgrounds. Window Background A In the lower center of the sheet is a simple treatment for the single store with double doors in the center and where a window background is desired on each side running from the floor to about the bottom of the transom. The numbers refer to the detail at the left. The trim indicated can be obtained at any good planing mill. With Reference to Blue Print No. 153 It should be borne in mind that this is but one of the possibilities for the use of Upson Board. In using Upson Board, too, it should be remembered that it is simply necessary to use the board exactly as wood panels would be used, and that any job that can be done with wood can be done better with Upson Board. Window Background D At the top center is a background frequently desired in a store simply as a background for the display of goods and to keep customers inside the store from intruding on the window display. The height is 5 to 514 feet, space being left at the top so that glass may be added if desired. Details 13, 16 and 17 at the right of the sheet show how the construction is carried out. Directions for Mixing Paints The design shown is very plain and simple, but it lends itself well to adaptations to meet the wishes and requirements of the owner. In- genuity will suggest many others. Portable Screens B and C Here are two suggestive designs for screens such as are frequently used in store windows to separate different lines of merchandise or to_ cover up unattractive features. These drawings are made to scale, and the dimensions can easily be determined by using the scale in the lower left-hand corner. The number of possible designs is practically unlimited, but those shown here will furnish a basis upon which other designs may be worked out. Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. This is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead { 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface. However, if the flatting oil is unobtainable, use— 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 of a gallon pure turpentine 34 of a gallon raw linseed oil \% pt. pure drier These formulas will make three gallons of paint, which will cover 1800 square feet, one coat. Please bear in mind that you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 134 gallons pure turpentine % pint light high grade enamel varnish 4 pint pure drier This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint. If this amount is not required, the formula can be divided so that less is mixed up. If an eggshell gloss finish is desired, the follow- ing formula is satisfactory. This is a splendid finish for bathrooms, kitchens or where walls should be washed often and are subject to steam and moisture. 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 to 1 gallon Dutch Boy flatting oil A scant half-gallon light high grade enamel varnish Again, in case the flatting oil is unobtain- able, use the following formula: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead % gallon light high grade enamel var- nis 1% gallons pure turpentine 4% pint pure drier You will observe that we have given several formulas for obtaining splendid re- sults with white lead, and we recommend the flatting oil on account of its producing a flat, even effect.

Constant vibration from walking on floors above has little or no effect on Upsonized ceilings, whereas ceilings of plaster frequently loosen and fall. Because of their weight, plaster- filled wall boards sometimes require expensive reinforcement of the ceiling, and vibration often causes the panels to work loose from the nails. The Upsonized ceilings shown on the accom- panying blue print may be adapted for almost any room. The designs as shown may, of course, be varied to suit any size room, and the wood- trim also may be varied without detracting from the effectiveness of the finished job. As the plaster on ceilings is usually uneven, we recommend that all ceilings be furred in order to afford a /evel nailing surface for the Upson Board. Low spots can then be shimmed up. If Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners are to be used, the old plaster must be furred, as old plaster does not provide a sufficiently solid back- ground for the use of fasteners. For furring, use l-inch x 134-inch or 2-inch material on 16-inch centers. Furring must be solid, as Upson Self- Clinching Fasteners will not clinch into board properly if furring is springy. If a straight edge proves the ceiling to be even and level, the board can be applied without fur- ring. In this case, 2-inch finishing brads must be used in order to penetrate the Upson Board and old plaster, and assure firm nailing to the laths, studs or joists underneath. On ceilings, the decorative strips are best run the short way of the room, as running them the long way gives an undesirable railroad track effect. In the large rooms, the decorative strips should be at least 3 or 4 inches wide. Beams, also, should be run the short way and should be evenly spaced. The key numbers refer to the detailed end views of the wooden cornice and decorative strips in the center of the sheet. Design A This design is eminently fitted for almost any With Reference to Blue Print No. 150 room in the house, office, or store where a rather inexpensive ceiling 1s desired. Design B Here is an excellent example of a curved ceil- ing, which is often desired but not easily ob- tained with any material except Upson Board. It is especially appropriate for a library, dining room, den and, in some cases, a living room. Upson Board 1s easily bent without breaking to fit the curve of the ceiling, and may be ap- plied direct to joists with either nails or Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners, although fasteners are recommended as being stronger and making a more beautiful and satisfactory installation. This design can be used in old work as well as new if the ceiling height of the old plaster room allows space enough for the curve. Design C This is a beamed ceiling suggestion which is unusually beautiful. The beams, as you will observe, are placed quite near together on 16- inch centers. This style of ceiling is especially appropriate for a dining room or library in almost any type of house. It could be used in a living room, but when thus used, would be best in a house carried out in Colonial or Old Eng- lish style. You will find that the lettering 7, 8, and 10 refers to the end views of the trim in the center of the sheet; 8 is the small beam which is placed on 16-inch centers, while a choice of cornice treatment is given in 7 and 10. In other words, cornice treatment 7 represents the half beam to correspond with the ceiling beam, and 10 is sim- ply a plain cornice treatment which harmonizes and is often used. The latter is preferred in small rooms. Anyone applying this beamed ceil- ing will find it extremely attractive and service- able. The beams may be of any color to match the trim of the room, and the Upson Board can be painted in some ‘rich tone of i ivory, or the ceiling beams may be of white enamel. Design D Here we have another example of a beamed ceiling, which is eminently satisfactory for a living room, dining room, den or hall, and is easily applied in new work direct to the studs or over old plaster. As in the other cases, the let- tering refers to the wood trim exhibited in the center of the page. You will observe that the beam in this ceiling is deeper and wider, and in the case of a large room may be increased in size up to 6 inches in width. The cornice treat- ment is very simple but one that will give a finished effect to the room. For a color scheme we would suggest that the panels of Upson Board be treated as usual in some light tint, like ivory or cream which are always neutral and appropriate colors, and that the wood beams be finished to harmonize either with the mahogany, walnut or enamel finish in the room. Design E This is a handsome ceiling, combining a larger beam with a smaller beam and Upson tion as a filler. By referring to the numbers as exhib- ited in the center of the page you will note that it utilizes parts 7, 8, 9, and 10 in perfect har- mony. The exact molding shapes do not have to be used but should be followed as nearly as possible. This ceiling is particularly suitable for the library and dining room of a good-sized house, and if the living room is carried out in Colonial or English period it will harmonize splendidly. It is possible to have the smaller beams farther apart but it is not quite as handsome, although in rooms that are longer than they are wide it is very effective. Approximately square rooms should be carried out as shown. The proper color scheme for this room would be to have the Upson Board finished in some light tone of ivory, or a dull gold could be used in case the room were a library. The woodwork is best finished to match the trim of the room, although in no case do we recommend finishing the beams in the natural color of golden oak or the light yellow tones of the pines.

THE UPSON COMPANY Fiber Board Authorities COCKPORT, WEW YORK,U.S.A Copyright 1924 BY THE UPSON COMPANY - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED - INFRINGERS WILL BE PROSECUTED ~ Full sized detailed sheets of this drawing will be sent on receipt of 10c each in stamps. Upson Board on Old Plaster— Ceiling Furred With Reference to Blue Print No. 100 Here is a plain, inexpensive design for Upsonizing over old plaster. With slight modification it may be used for new work also. In an old home where the plaster side walls and ceiling of a room are cracked, loose and unsightly, dependable Upson Board can quickly transform it into a new room without removing the plaster. Dust and dirt seeping and sifting all through the house and the annoying delays which al- ways accompany re-plastering, are avoided. In applying Upson Board inthis old room, it is assumed that the old trim, doors, win- dows and baseboard are to remain. In the angle design at the left is shown the correct application of Upson Board. At the right of the drawing is shown the details of the correct method of applying Upson Board in connection with the base and door trim. If the plain decorative strip (4) as shown on the plan is not desired, any other design may be substituted as, for instance, No. 44 shown in Blue Print No. 152, which is equally appropriate for this room. It is advisable to apply furring strips about 2 inches by 7% inch on 16-inch centers over the old plaster before applying Upson Board. Thus any unevenness of the plaster can be corrected by leveling the furring by means of shimming. Where Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners are to be used in applying Upson Board over old plaster, this furring of the plaster is absolutely necessary in order to assure a solid foundation for the fasteners. Be sure that furring is absolutely solid under where fasteners are applied, so there will be no possibility of the furring springing when the fasteners are drawn into the Upson Board. Upson Board on Old Plaster—Ceiling Furred With Reference to Blue Print No. 101 Here is another simple, artistic Upson Board design which makes a cheerful, homey room at comparatively small cost. If it is desired to use this plan for a bed- room installation, we recommend that the decorative strip or chair rail running around the room be eliminated and the panels run from the floor to the ceiling. The plan shows the old trim remaining intact, and the treatment of trim and Up- son Board is shown in detail at the left side of the sheet. Further details are shown at the right, where a new mold is shown at the top of the baseboard. Any suitable molding that will bridge the gap between the top of the baseboard and the Upson Board may be satisfactorily used. The Colonial chair rail around the room may be omitted if desired, although its use adds an artistic touch to the room. If the room is large, we recommend that the decorative strip be 3 or 4 inches wide. The panels may be of any width pleasing to the owner. Upson Board and Upson Fibre-Tile in Bathroom on Old Lath With Reference to Blue Print No. 103 This application sheet shows an old bath- room from which the plaster has been re- moved and Upson Board and Upson Fibre- Tile applied over the old lath. The same design can be used in applying Upson Board and Upson Fibre-Tile directly to studs in new construction. The square pattern of Upson Fibre-Tile is shown in this design, this being the cor- rect pattern to use where it is desired to have a tile wainscot more than 4 feet high. In using the oblong pattern, the panels of Upson Fibre-Tile are run around the room, making a 4-foot wainscot (the width of one panel). The upper walls are finished in Up- son Board as indicated for the small frieze in the accompanying plan. The treatment of trim is the same in either case, except that where the oblong wainscot cap mold is recommended instead of the plain decorative strip (4) shown in this plan, although this strip may be used in exactly the same manner in the lower position. If the tub is a set-in tub, follow closely the directions given in detail of “Section Through Bath Tub,” in Blue Print No. 54, in order to make a water-tight joint between pattern is used for a 4-foot wainscot, a ~the Upson Board and the rim of the tub. Various Ceilings of Upson Board With Reference to Blue Print No. 151 Six Upson Board ceiling designs are shown on this sheet. These designs may be varied to fit any ceiling and the wood trim shown may be used with equally pleasing effects. We do not recommend walls of one color and woodwork of another—except perhaps in a library or den—as, for example, tan walls with natural varnish or walnut-stained trim. The most pleasing effect will be ob- tained by having the wall of a chosen color with woodwork in a trifle darker rubbed enamel. : Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recommend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the necessity of counter- sinking nails and filling nail holes. We recommend that all ceiling joists shown in this drawing be furred or stripped in order to obtain an extra good job. The furring should be at least 34 inch thick and 2 inches wide, and should be of well-sea- soned lumber. Care must be exercised to have the furring solid, as Upson Self-Clinch- ing Fasteners require a foundation that will not spring in order to work properly. Ceiling F This is a very plain but attractive ceiling for a small room where a small-beamed ceil- ing effect is desired. This design is suitable for a living room, dining room, den, hall, or office. It is not recommended for bedrooms. The Numbers 11 and 12 refer to the small detail drawings in the center of the sheet. The cornice is an easy one to obtain and the beam is of simple construction, The half-beam effect shown in Drawing 11 may be omitted and a quarter-round cove used at the ceiling angle. To use this design for a large room, carry out the border treatment as indicated and obtain the necessary increase in area by adding extra panels in the center. Ceiling G It is often desired to have a curved cove effect in a home. Such a treatment is easily obtained with Upson Board by following the simple directions given here. _ This ceiling can be applied direct to joists in new construction—or over old plaster. In applying over old plaster, the brackets should be nailed solidly to the studs and joists under the old plaster, although the plaster need not be removed. For a first- class job the plastered ceiling should be furred on 16-inch centers. The Numbers 13 and 14 refer to detail drawings in the center of the sheet. The cornice shown (13) is easily obtained, but need not follow the exact design, although it should closely resemble it. The decorative strip (14) is quite appro- priate for this room, for it-not only saves time in matching the cornice but it is also different from the moldings ordinarily shown in such rooms. The detail shown (14) should be maintained, as a larger or smaller strip is not as attractive. This ceiling is appropriate for a living room, dining room or large bedroom. It may also be appropriately used for store ceilings. It should not be used in a room smaller than 12 by 10 feet, and the curve of the ceil- (Continued on page 46) CLO LATH AND PLASTER WALL.

This drawing shows such a room with the old trim left in place. If the old woodwork is in poor condition, however, it may be best to re- move it all and put in modern plain trim with rounded corners and edges. In such a case we suggest a trim similar to that shown in Blue Print 54. It is not absolutely necessary to remove the old trim, for this design shows exactly how to make a cheerful, attractive bathroom out of a dark, dingy one. The tile shown in the drawing is the oblong pattern of Upson Fibre-Tile, each tile being 4 x 114 inches. The square pattern (4 x 4 inches) may be substituted if desired, however. With Reference to Blue Print No. 102 If new fixtures are to be installed and a set-in bathtub used, note the detail of the correct » + of “pa Roard around the edges of lhe space between the rim of the tub and the Upson Board or Upson Fibre-Tile is to be filled with white-lead putty, and the wood base is to be set against the tub and onto the putty as shown, so that water cannot get back of the Upson Board or Upson Fibre-Tile and tub. Upson Fibre-Tile takes any of the smart new color schemes—cream, old ivory, robin’s-egg blue. Enamel with a high-grade enamel. Change colors as often as you wish, at a minimum of expense. It pays to use the highest-grade enamel, since it will stand frequent washing and wear longer. An Upsonized bathroom finished with good enamel will last for years. A bathroom in either a new or old home in which Upson Fibre-Tile has been applied, finished with glistening fixtures, and plain Upson Board Various Ceilings of Upson Board panels above in turquoise blue or rich ivory, gives a bathroom of Jasting attractiveness. Be sure to use at least two undercoats of flat and two coats of a high-grade enamel. Finish the plain Upson Board in an eggshell gloss or flat enamel. A bathroom or kitchen should never be finished in flat paints, as it is not easy to remove dirt and grease from them. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Be sure to have nailing pieces at the top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished. (Continued from page 44) ing should be made a size suitable to the size of the room. It would not be appro- priate to put a curve wider than 12 inches in a small room, If the Upson Board has hardened so it does not bend easily, moisten the back with water applied with a large brush. Allow the board to stand for an hour or so and then apply while moist. Do not soak the board in water. Ceiling H Here is a ceiling that is extremely attrac- tive, easy to apply, and suitable for almost any room in the house, store, or office. It is of an English or Colonial tendency but is well suited to the modern interior. Observe that the molding or decorative strip (15) is easily fitted to the miter block (A). Ceiling J Here is an artistic ceiling design that is suitable for any room in the house, store, or office. Notice particularly the attractive cove mold suggested for the cornice (17). The length and width of the panels may also be changed, although we do not recom- mend small panels. If the panels are about the proportion shown in the drawing, the ceiling will present a molded plaster effect, especially if painted white or cream color. The miter block (A) is not shown in this drawing but may be used if desired. The joints made by the crossing of the decora- tive strips can be either mitered or one piece scribed to the other. Scribing must be done very carefully. Ceiling K This ceiling has every effect of molded plaster. It gives an especially pleasing effect in a large living room, diningroomorlibrary. It is not recommended for a bedroom unless it be a very large room. In increasing the number and size of panels to suit the size of the room, care should be taken to keep the outside panels narrower than those in the center. The out- side border effect adds much to the attrac- tiveness of this ceiling.

This time, it is a new and distinct innovation in the method of paneling for ceilings—a radical departure from the ordinary type of ceiling—and one that has been received with great en- thusiasm by architects, builders and home owners alike. Such paneling has always been in good taste and much desired, but until 1926, when this new system was de- veloped, it was considered possible to secure these effects only by the use of expensive hand-modeled plaster. Hand-modeled plaster, no matter how carefully applied, will almost invariably crack—and 1s very costly! It is available only to a comparative- ly few wealthy city dwellers— because of its high cost and the fact that there are relatively few plasterers competent to do the work, and those few crafts- men are for the most part located in the larger cities. The above photograph shows the furring used as a base for the attractive Upson Relief Paneled Ceiling shown in the photograph of the beautiful living room on this page. re ‘y | iF This beautiful Upsonized ceiling was constructed in accordance with the New Upson Method of Relief Paneling. It cost complete approximately $365.00—about one-quarter the contractor’s estimate for a similar ceiling done in hand-modeled plaster. This Up- son Board ceiling can never crack or fall. These Beautiful Ceilings Now Available to Every Home Owner Now, every home owner, no matter where located, can enjoy the luxury of relief paneled ceilings. For any good carpenter can easily construct these beautiful ceilings, using only Upson Board and appropriate trim, by following the simple Upson Blue Prints, which are furnished free. Several different panel designs are available and others will be added from time to time. These blue prints will suggest a hundred other rich and pleasing designs just as easy to obtain. Briefly, the New Upson Method of Relief Paneling consists of covering the entire ceiling surface with large,sturdy panels of Upson Board—applied to furring over the old plaster, or in new construction to furring applied direct to the studs. A second layer of Upson Board, from which the desired pat- tern has been cut by means of a die or template, is then super- imposed over the first. utely New Treatment of Wall Board Paneling The cutting out of the relief pattern may be done with a sharp knife after the design hasbeen marked on the panel of Upson Board, as shown in the accompanying picture. After this second panel of Upson Board has been applied over the first, the decorative trim is put on in accord- ancewith the particular design selected. Since the Upson Board ceiling can never crack or fall—should always look fully as well as the molded plaster ceil- ing would look when new—and costs less than one-third as much, it is read- ily apparent that the discriminating home owner and architect who knows will invariably choose the Upson Board ceiling. Hundreds of owners who have want- ed a relief paneled ceiling in at least one room, but have had to forego this de- sire because of the high cost or other unfavorable considerations, are now enjoying the new Upson Relief Paneled Ceilings. Here is the carpenter cutting out the design for the U son Relief Paneled Ceiling shown above. Complete de- tails of construction, and Blue Prints of several designs of Upson Relief Paneling will be found on the follow- ing pages. How to Build Upson Relief Paneled Ceilings Follow These Simple Directions and the Upson Blue Prints With Reference to Blue Prints Nos. 151-B and 151-C New ceilings! Methods that give the effect of molded plas- ter at a fraction of the cost. That is what the “relief” and “cut-out” designs suggested on the two following pages offer to the architect and decorator. The few ceiling designs shown here are merely suggestive of the many and varied designs which any architect or decorator can devise. These “relief and “cut-out” treatments make it possible for the architect, decorator, or builder to obtain at little cost ceilings with the beauty of hand-modeled plaster and expensive wood paneling. In brief, the new idea consists in (1) Obtain- ing a relief effect on the ceiling through the use of wide panel strips of Upson Board, the width varying from ten inches to two feet, according to the size of the ceiling, or (2) Cutting the cen- ter out of full-sized panels of Upson Board to obtain the desired designs without joints and then covering the panel edges with additional strips of Upson Board in combination with spe- cially-machined moldings, or (3) Cutting pat- tern designs out of full-sized panels after laying the design out flat on floor of room in order to make sure of symmetry and matching of design. The blue-print suggestions will give you an idea as to just how these designs may be laid out. Architects and decorators who have seen rooms finished in one of these new treatments are intensely enthusiastic about the beauty and smartness of the finished job; they are impressed with the endless variety of designs which can be created. It is worth your while to study these unique methods of ceiling treatments; they strike a new note in interior decoration; they make possible beautiful ceilings at comparatively little cost. alluring —fascinating treatments for The prime requisite for jobs of this character is substantial wood nailing pieces in back of Upson Board decorative strips, to permit firm nailing along the edges. Never try to toenail Upson Fiber Decorative Strips to narrow fur- ring. This is important. For a fine job we recommend that the entire surface be covered or sheathed with smooth board. These boards should be absolutely level, to provide a flat nailing surface. Boards can be spaced but the carpenter must be careful to have nailing pieces under all nailing edges and behind baseboard or other decorative members. Better to have a solid backing than a too flimsy one. Be sure the Upson strips are cut with a clean and perfect edge and a trifle oversize, enough to require pressing into place for a snug fit at joints. Here are a Few of the Countless Possibilities of Using this New Method of Paneling Should an essentially fine job be desired, it is possible to eliminate the joints in the strips (as shown in Details Nos. 26, 29, and 34 of Blue Print 151-B) by cutting the designs bodily from a large panel of Upson Board. To do this, spe- cial patterns are necessary. (See photograph, page 50.) The large panel of Upson Board should first be laid upon a large, solid table. The pattern should then be placed in position at one end of the panel. Then simply cut through the panel with a sharp knife, following the out- line of the pattern. Before starting to cut panels, the whole ceil- ing should be laid out with extreme care in order that the panels may be accurately cut to fit ceil- ing measurements and afford a pleasing design. Ceiling ‘“Q” is somewhat elaborate, but very effective for formal treatment in living, dining, Nothing better for ceilings at any price or reception room. Gives much the effect of costly molded plaster. Ceiling ““R” is interesting in that it avoids the usual and commonplace without being at all bizarre. The treatment at the joints is easily handled as shown in Detail No. 29. Be sure that joints are snug. Ceiling ‘“T”’ is plain and dignified, and has the merit of being at home in practically any type of room; the wide relief strip of Upson Board well proportioned to the dimensions of the room or pleasingly set off by narrower strips of Upson Board with finishing molds. (See Detail No. 30.) Ceiling “U” is a design very similar in treat- ment to the Tudor ceiling of wood paneling so prevalent in the better type of English dwelling. What a vivid, rich effect it gives! Stained in a warm mahogany or dark oak, or preferably painted in a warm tint, this ceiling should be a credit to any home in the land. Ceiling “V” is identical with Ceiling ‘*T”’ in Blue Print 151-B in mechanical handling, but offers another pleasing possibility in panel treat- ment. Ceiling “W’”’is an excellent illustration of false beaming, made less severe and formal by flank- ing with 4-inch Upson decorative strips. It is interesting to note that whenever these extra strips are used to relieve a single strip treatment, the result is far friendlier, warmer, and more graceful. Ceiling “X”’ is another adaptation of English wood paneling. Note the decorative circles at the panel joints, offering interesting relief to the squares and angles. These little decorative fea- tures may be of wood, Upson Board, or compo- sition. Ceiling “Y” is much like Ceilings “T”’ and “V” in mechanical handling, but here graceful wood moldings flank the wide relief strips of Upson Board instead of the narrow ones. at DETAILS DETAILS CELILING:R: PETAILS DETAILS eB URA VARIOUS CEILINGS o£ UPSON BOARD potato!

Upson Board Applied in Moving Picture Theatre ‘Theaters, as well as homes, stores and offices, may be modernized and made permanently more attractive through the judicious use of Upson Board. Here is a theater Upsonized in the Adam style of decoration. It may be carried out in a new or old theater. The cove is made by cutting out wood brack- ets in the curve as shown, then bending and nailing the Upson Board to the brackets. If the board is too hard to bend easily, moisten the back with water applied with a large brush and let stand for an hour. Apply while still damp. Do not soak the board in water. As in all fine home installations and in public places we recommend the use of Extra-Thick— Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quarter Inch), on account of its greater strength and rigidity which enable it to stand the most severe service. We do not recommend walls of one color and woodwork of another—except perhaps in a li- Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. T his These formulas will make three gallons of paint, which will cover 1800 square feet, one coat. With Reference to Blue Print No. 160 brary or den—as, for example, tan walls with natural varnish or walnut-stained trim. The most pleasing effect will be obtained by having the wall of a chosen color with woodwork in a trifle darker rubbed enamel. Beautiful effects can be obtained by stippling the second coat. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Your attention is particularly called to the fact that all studs and joists shown in this draw- ing have been furred or stripped in order to ob- tain an extra good job. The furring on the ceiling should be at least 34-inch thick, and 2 inches wide, and should be of well-seasoned lumber. Care must be exercised to have the furring solid, as Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners require a Directions for Mixing Paints Please bear in mind that This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint. If this amount is not required, the formula can foundation that will not spring in order to work properly. In many cases, studs and joists are twisted or out of line and the old plaster is uneven. In such cases, it is desirable to fur the surface to be Upsonized. This gives an even, level surface, as low spots can be shimmed up. Furring should be applied on 16-inch centers, placing extra nailing pieces so that panels can be nailed on all four sides. If furring is not used, as suggested in this blue print, window and door frames must be reduced in width to offset the thickness of furring shown in this drawing. Be sure to have nailing pieces at the top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished. You will observe that we have given several formulas for obtaining splendid re- sults with white lead, and we recommend is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface. However, if the flatting oil is unobtainable, use— 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 of a gallon pure turpentine 34 of a gallon raw linseed oil 44 pt. pure drier you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead a gallons pure turpentine 2 pint light high grade enamel varnish < pint pure drier able, use the following formula: be divided so that less is mixed up.

Use colors in oil which may be bought at any paint store. First thin the colors in oil to paint consist- - ency with either flatting oil or turpentine. Then, strain through cheesecloth and add to the white lead extremely small amounts at a time, mixing the thinned colors thoroughly with the white lead. If an extremely soft, velvety finish either in the flat or eggshell gloss is desired, we recommend stippling the final coat with an ordinary stippling brush. ——— ————— CORNICE (\QAqH AS NX SAS SSSSSSSSSSSSRC BE SURE TO READ DIRECTIONS FOR- Paya Fea Ae Oe a aR AMT etIe er NIG [er : THE OPSON COMPANY ste] APPLICATION SS SHEET NO.IGO| égox cures = COPYRIGHT. 1924 PY Taf UPSON COMPANY ~ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED — INFRINGERS WILL DE PROSECUTED — Full sized detailed sheets of this drawing will be sent on receipt of 10c each in stamps. Upson Board in School Room on Studs Upson Board makes most sanitary, attrac- tive and durable walls in either old or new school buildings. This drawing exhibits a new school room in which Upson Board has been applied direct to the studding. We recommend our Extra-Thick—Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quarter Inch) for all school work. Many schools have used Upson Board for re- pairing badly cracked or dangerous walls and ceilings. Upson Board is quickly applied with- out dirt and dust, and when applied according to instructions is up to stay. Its light weight, splendid painting surface, and freedom from cracks and resistance to vibration make it far superior to plaster or brittle gypsum boards that show nails and joints between panels and are costly to finish. Moreover, Upson Board is washable, quickly redecorated, and germs and vermin will not stay in it because of chemicals used in manu- facturing. The drawing gives complete details as to the ” With Reference to Blue Print No. 161 proper application of Upson Board direct to studs and, as you will note, gives a room that is not only restful to the eye but one that will stand a great deal of hard usage, and unlike plaster finished walls can be repaired or easily refinished at any time. Note the simple trim ised in applying the board which gives a sanitary school room, since it can be washed or repainted quickly when fin- ished in oil paint. We suggest that the walls in such a room be painted in light tan or warm ivory (beautiful effects can be obtained by stippling the second coat)—two colors restful to the eye, and the woodwork be either rich walnut, dull finished, or in ivory of the same tone as side walls, to which has been added varnish in order to give an enameled effect. The design as shown in the blue print can be utilized for refinishing an old school room by simply applying the Upson Board over the old side walls and nailing with 2-inch nails. For a Directions for Mixing Paints better job we always recommend that the ceil- ing be furred with 7%-inch by 2- or 2%-inch strips, leveling up wherever necessary. Then the board should be applied to the furring. Furring must not be springy if Upson Self- Clinching Fasteners are used, as they require a solid foundation in order to work properly. Our Service Department is very glad to give special instructions to meet any particular job. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden.

SHEET NO,IG1 | “St geen comcaw 58 Upson Board in Colonial Church on Furring Strips Upson Board is remarkably well adapted as an interior finish for churches. It will transform an old, shabby church into a bright and modern one—one where the attention and restfulness of the congregation will not be disturbed by jarring colors or unsightly walls. ‘There is much psychology in obtaining restful church walls. The panel scheme shown on this blue print 1s effective in either a large or a small church, and we call special attention to the curved ceiling which is appropriate for a church. The details of walls and ceiling paneling, as shown at the right of this blue print, show clear- ly just how the Upson Board and the trim should be applied. We recommend Extra-Thick— Extra-Strong Upson Board (Quarter Inch) for church work. At the right, complete details of the cornice are shown, and any good contractor should have no difficulty in producing as beautiful an effect as that indicated on the drawing if directions and blue print are followed. With Reference to Blue Print No. 162 Wood decorative strips and beams are recom- mended for this installation. The walls of the church may be finished in a deep, rich cream or cafe au lait. Beautiful effects can be obtained by stippling the second coat. The trim and all woodwork should be enameled (rubbed) in the same tone or a trifle darker. Either walnut or dark mahogany-stained seats with blue or mulberry cushions harmonize per- fectly. We do not recommend walls of one color and woodwork of another—except perhaps in a li- brary or den—as, for example, tan walls with natural varnish or walnut-stained trim. The most pleasing effect will be obtained by having the wall of a chosen color with woodwork in a trifle darker rubbed enamel. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from Directions for Mixing Paints centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Be sure to have nailing pieces at top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished. Your attention is particularly called to the fact that all studs and joists shown in this draw- ing have been furred or stripped in order to ob- tain an extra good job. The furring on the ceil- ing should be at least 7-inch thick and 2 inches wide, and should be of well-seasoned lumber. Care must be exercised to have the furring solid, as Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners require a foundation that will not spring in order to work properly. Do not butt panel edges—always leave at least 3-16 inch between panels. Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. This is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface. However, if the flatting oil is unobtainable, use— 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 of a gallon pure turpentine 34 of a gallon raw linseed oil \% pt. pure drier These formulas will make three gallons of paint, which will cover 1800 square feet, one coat. Please bear in mind that you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1% gallons pure turpentine ¥% pint light high grade enamel varnish % pint pure drier This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint. If this amount is not required, the formula can be divided so that less is mixed up. If an eggshell gloss finish is desired, the follow- ing formula is satisfactory. This is a splendid finish for bathrooms, kitchens or where walls should be washed often and are subject to steam and moisture. 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 to 1 gallon Dutch Boy flatting oil A scant half-gallon light high grade enamel varnish Again, in case the flatting oil is unobtain- able, use the following formula: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead &% gallon light high grade enamel var- nis 1% gallons pure turpentine \% pint pure drier You will observe that we have given several formulas for obtaining splendid re- sults with white lead, and we recommend the flatting oil on account of its producing a flat, even effect. If the paint is to be tinted, add the tinting colors right after breaking up the white lead into a workable paste and before the remain- ing thinners are added. Use colors in oil which may be bought at any paint store. First thin the colors in oil to paint consist- ency with either flatting oil or turpentine. Then, strain through cheesecloth and add to the white lead extremely small amounts at a time, mixing the thinned colors thoroughly with the white lead. If an extremely soft, velvety finish either in the flat or eggshell gloss is desired, we recommend stippling the final coat with an ordinary stippling brush.

Today, a heavy, dark and cumbersome in- terior for a candy store is a thing of the past. The modern soda or lunch room 1s airy, light, interesting, suggestive of cleanliness and rest- fulness. Such fascinating walls are obtained by paneling in Upson Board and finishing in soft pastel tones, such as deep ivory, light turquoise blue—grayed blue—with trim of slightly darker or lighter rubbed enamels. Beautiful effects can be obtained by stippling the second coat. Of course, fixtures are enameled to match woodwork. Then, with painted plaques of old-fashioned flowers hung in the center of every other panel, attractive little electric side brackets with silk shades in soft peach, gold, or an old rose, are added the final touches that differentiate this With Reference to Blue Print No. 163 appealing soda-lunch room from the dingy gray or crude green wall-papered shop of past days. The panel shown in the design has a small fin- ishing mold within the large panel to give addi- tional effectiveness. The store front is unobstructed, so daylight can flood the place. The rear wall—toward kitchen—could have an in-and-out door in the center or one on each side. The spaces between doors may be made more artistic by latticework and real ivy vines growing from bright green painted pots. Upson Board for a soda, lunch or candy store offers wonderful possibilities to those artisti- cally inclined. This design can be applied over old plaster as well as direct to studs in new construction. In applying over old plaster, follow the directions given on Pages 12 and 13 under “Application Over Old Plaster.” Never use large-headed nails in centers of Directions for Mixing Paints panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Be sure to have nailing pieces at top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished. In many cases, studs and joists are twisted or out of line and the old plaster is uneven. In such cases, it is desirable to fur the surface to be Upsonized. This gives an even, level surface as low spots can be shimmed. Furring should be applied on 16-inch centers, placing extra nailing pieces so that panels can be nailed on all four sides. Often painters and decorators prefer to mix their own paints, using white lead, rather than to use ready mixed paints. This is often done to obtain the exact tint or shade desired. We recommend the following formulas which have been approved by the National Lead Company. Any high grade pure white lead can be used with these for- mulas. For First Coat 50 pounds of Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil We recommend the flatting oil because it leaves a flat, even surface.

Please bear in mind that you can reduce the formula proportion- ately if three gallons for first coat is not required. If only one gallon of paint is desired, divide the formula by three. Second Coat If flat finish is desired for final coat, use: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 1 to 1% gallons Dutch Boy flatting oil. If the flatting oil cannot be obtained, use the following formula for finishing coat for flat effect: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 14 gallons pure turpentine ¥% pint light high grade enamel varnish 14 pint pure drier This formula, as well as those following, will make three gallons of paint. If this amount is not required, the formula can be divided so that less is mixed up. If an eggshell gloss finish is desired, the follow- ing formula is satisfactory. This is a splendid finish for bathrooms, kitchens or where walls should be washed often and are subject to steam and moisture. 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead 34 to 1 gallon Dutch Boy flatting oil A scant half-gallon light high grade enamel varnish Again, in case the flatting oil is unobtain- able, use the following formula: 50 pounds Dutch Boy white lead % gallon light high grade enamel var- nis 134 gallons pure turpentine Vg pint pure drier You will observe that we have given several formulas for obtaining splendid re- sults with white lead, and we recommend the flatting oil on account of its producing a flat, even effect.

SECTION THRU CORNICE ¢ WALL THE UPSON COMPANY ‘4 Fiber Board Authorities — LOCKPORT, NEW YORK,U.5.A. : 62 Upson Board in Various Attics Here are some very interesting methods of converting an attic from a barren, useless space into a cozy, comfortable room. In fact, in the attic, through the use of Upson Board, you can make an extra bedroom, billiard room, boy’s room, children’s play room, air-tight, dust-proof storage room, or even an extra living room, if you so desire. The designs shown are not to fit any particu- lar house attic, as all houses have attics of vary- ing shapes, but the designs will illustrate just how any attic can be lined with Upson Board, and a room (as if by magic) made of the unused space. A great many suggestions may come to the home-owner’s mind as to finishing and decorat- ing, so that any attic room, whether it be bed- room, living room, or billiard room, may be most attractive. There is always room for orig- inality in fixing up such a room, and many things may be added aside from fireplaces, bookcases, etc., such as secret panels, dark rooms for photograph developing, removable With Reference to Blue Print No. 164 panels for storage of trunks and traveling paraphernalia, and so on down a long list. If your new room in the attic, whatever it may be, is going to have very few windows in it, be sure to use attractive light tints for painting the walls rather than dark colors as, for exam- ple, a light grey brightened through the use of cretonne containing rose tones, lamp shades of rose, and rugs of blue and rose that tone with side walls. Or better yet, side walls in a light ivory or a very light grey-green are very attrac- tive. Beautiful effects can be obtained by stip- pling the second coat. In all cases, keep the trim and decorative strips in the same tone, except to add varnish to the paint, which will cause it to be a trifle darker but in every way har- monizing with the walls. We recommend that you do not stain the decorative strips one color and the walls another —keep to the more harmonious effects and get your color contrasts through draperies, uphol- stery, lamps, and vases. Through the use of Upson Board there is no reason why the attic room cannot be made one Directions for Mixing Paints of the most attractive rooms in the house and a place where you will love to go for rest or recrea- tion. There are two things especially that will make this room appealing—the pleasing re- sults obtained through Upson Board and an appropriate background for furniture and fur- nishings. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be concealed. We rec- ommend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (pat- ented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of apply- ing centers of panels by doing away with the BESSY of countersinking nails and filling nail oles Be sure to have nailing pieces at top of all baseboards, back of chair rails, picture mold- ings, plate rails, electric fixtures, frieze panels, and lower edges of cornices.

Upson Board in Garages on Studs Upson Board is an ideal lining for garages. It keeps them cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It is inexpensive to apply, but its cost permits of considerable latitude, as panel scheme and trim may be simple or elaborate as the owner desires. The treatment of Upsonizing the one-car garage shown on this sheet is extremely simple, and the plain decorative strips indicated are very appropriate for the purpose for which they are used, The suggestion of paneling for the two-car garage is likewise in keeping with the purpose for which the room is used and, of course, both plans admit of considerable variation. They are but two of many possible treatments of garage interiors. Particular attention is directed to the base shown in the lower right-hand corner of the With Reference to Blue Print No. 165 drawing (Detail No. 6). This base is built of concrete, being a continuation of the floor, and should run up at least 6 or 8 inches on walls. The Upson Board is run down to the top of this base and the 2-inch-wood decorative strips are applied in front of the board. The concrete base protects the lower part of the walls in washing cars. It is recommended that Upsonized garages be painted with a good exterior oil paint, so that mud, dust, and accidental splashes can be easily wiped off and surface kept clean. If garage is already erected, or an old barn is to be Upsonized, simply follow blue print for paneling idea, nailing Upson Board direct to studs. Any old garage or barn may thus be transformed into a light, bright, serviceable modern garage. If lining an old brick garage, or building that is damp, it is advisable to paint Directions for Mixing Paints the backs of Upson Board panels before apply- ing. Then follow standard application directions. Never use large-headed nails in centers of panels, for they cannot be hidden. We recom- mend Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners (patented) which anchor the panels securely in place from the back. They eliminate ugly nail marks from centers of panels and cut the cost of applying centers of panels by doing away with the neces- sity of countersinking nails and filling nail holes. Be sure to have nailing pieces at top of all baseboards, shelving, cupboards, electric fix- tures and lower edges of cornices. This must be done in order to hold the board firmly against the various kinds of trim, and to eliminate pockets or gaps when the job is finished.

In many cases, manufacturers have the Upson Board panels cut to size in the Upson factory and shipped to them ready for use. This special cutting service is available to everyone when prepar- ing Upson Board for any particular use. ~The Upson Company also maintains a die-cutting service that will gladly figure costs and give estimates on the use of Upson Board, die-cutting quantities for any particular use. In the Factory, Upson Board is used for special offices, storerooms, depart- ment partitions, machine guards, shely- ing, signs, and wastebaskets. In the Store, it is used for individual display rooms, window backgrounds, cut-outs, signs, counters, and special dis- play units. In the Home, carpenters or home tinkers use it for shelves, cupboards, screens, chests, games and toys. And so with Upson Fibre-Tile. It, too, can be put to many uses aside from its spotless cleanliness and fresh cheer- fulness on the walls of homes, stores, and factories. Particularly in manufacturing, some parts of most every product can be made better with Upson Board or Up- son Fibre-Tile, and many articles can be made entirely of these cost-saving materials.
