This cement adjusts itself to settling, shrinkage or expansion, and absorbs shocks. ITROLITE 1s a material fire-tused from those minerals that form nature’s hardest rock. It is manufactured in pure white, jet black, and colors, in slabs ranging in size up- wards to 40x 84, and in thickness from >, to 1 inch. These slabs are used for wall finishing and industrial material, and for tops of tables and other fixtures. Vitrolite appeals to every one because of its obvious cleanliness. Its perfectly smooth surface is impossible to stain even with inorganic acids. There is nothing about it to hold odors or breed bacteria. It is easy to clean and keep clean; in fact, the stroke of a damp cloth is all that is ever necessary. Unlike other materials used for structural surfacing, it will always remain in its perfect condition, never crazing or discoloring. It is freproof, and although as hard as flint, will not crack if quickly heated or chilled. The ‘Urtrolite Company has organized sales and installation organizations all over the world. These agencies are comprised of factory-trained work- men who understand the material and handle it without waste or experi- ment. Each organization has its own shop where Vitrolite is cut and ground to fit. The whole country is within a short distance of some one such construction company and will be quickly and expertly served by it.

Cleanliness and sanitation un- mistakably expressed throughout. VITROLITE WASHROOMS STAY CLEAN T is one thing to be clean and it is another to stay clean. This holds good for washrooms as well as for small boys. It is a thrifty decision to pick easily cleaned materials for washrooms. Plumbing fixtures which are for- ever leaving dirt rims which have to be scoured off, are money losers as well as ill-will spreaders. Fixtures which wipe clean save so much upkeep that they are selected without hesitation by leading architects and building managers. For this same reason, Vitro- | lite should be used for walls, ceilings and toilet partitions. It wipes clean with a damp cloth. No grease or dirt will stand against this simple method of cleansing. Smoke, dust or dirt will find no lodging place upon Vitro- lite’s non-porous surface.

For Vitrolite provides a perfect working sur- [ PAGE ELEVEN ] face for all the kitchen tasks, as it can be kept perfectly clean, and because extreme temperatures cannot harm it or knives and utensils scar it. The great advantage of the incomparably swift cleanability of Vitrolite must be imme- diately appreciated by all engaged in hotel or restaurant business. Vitrolite is also very popular for walls and ceilings of refrigerating rooms, on account of its imperviousness to moisture and odors. It is also widely used for serving room tables and shelves, and for sink drains and backs.
