the Stacco Thai!: Will Not Crack

The most conservative claims that we can make for the wonderful building material Kellastone -are almost past belief. For this reason and this only we have decided to make this of fen at the actual, bare cost 1 of ' material and labor. We place no restriction as to size, age or condition of the building. In fact the more dilapidated and run-down the structure, the more Ave shall be pleased. This offer is open to every home-owner within this district. No distinction will be made applications will be granted in the order of their receipt.

We offer to transform your residence into a gtxaran Iced stucco home! A stucco home protected against the tooth of Time itself. ... Beautiful in its gleaming whiteness absolutely waterproof, fireproof, heatproof, coldproof, practically imperishable. "

For Kellastone is the most remarkable building material of the age. Kellastone Stucco is the only stucco in the world that is backed by a positive, iron-clad guarantee not to crack. The home owner who accepts this offer takes no risk runs no chances he proceeds with the absolute certainty of satisfaction. The Wonderful Propertio of Kellcutone Kellastone is an absolutely unique building product, Unlike and superior to anything of the kind the building world has ever known.' j It is manufactured from a peculiar mineral deposit at Muskogee, Okla., by an exclusive process. Kellastone itself is a fine, white powder which is made into a mortar before being applied, with a heavy, white "oil, called Kellastone Oil. Kellastone and Kellastone Oil are inseparable. Both are sold together for one price, in proper, proportions ready to mix and apply. No sand, lime, hair, or any other substance is required. Kellastone Stucco, when applied, is as hard, and practically as white, as the finest marble. You can strike a Kellastone surface a severe "blow with a hammer without leaving a mark or injuring it in the slightest. - . Yet incredible as it may seem in spite of its great hardness, it is amazingly elastic! Read that again it is vitally important. Of course, you "know that ordinary stucco, cement . or . plaster is brittle. But Kellastone Stucco is just as different from these substances as the finest spring tempered steel is from the cheapest cast iron. It is guaranteed to withstand a deflection of 4 inches in 8 feet. . - Its tensile strength is enormous. It will bend, twist, expand, or contract with the support of which it is a part, to an unheard-of degree without cracking, peeling, chipping, or showing any other signs of injury whatever.

What the Kellastone Guarantee Means It is easy to promise, but the Kellastone guarantee is a 1 binding, legal contract, protecting every Kellastone user. 'Notice the first paragraph: "We positively and unreservedly guarantee Kellastone not to crack, feel, flake, chip, crumble, or deteriorate in my way when applied according to our simple directions found in every sack." You know that there is not a single reputable architect, . contractor, or builder in the country who would think oi making these claims for

ordinary stucco or plaster. If you doubt, just ask a few and find out. Now read the second paragraph: " We further guarantee Kellastone to fulfill every claim made for it in any advertisement, booklet, circular letter, or other advertising literature issued by this company.' Think what this means 1 Every written or printed claim for Kellastone issued by ; this company is a part of . this guarantee. ; Every such statement is stronger than an affidavit, and is backed by , every dol- ' lar of our resources. , But ; here comes the real meat: "Should anr

Kellastonejob fail to justify these statements, the material will be replaced and the work done over wholly at the expense of this company." No quibbling, no beating around the bush, no evasion. A plain straightforward promise to take all the risk ourselves. Could anything possibly be fairer than that ? You take no chances whatever when you build with Kellastone. You build with the absolute, positive, guaranteed ; certainty of satisfaction. This cannot be said of any other building material in the world.
