Kellastone is entirely different from any other building material ever offered. It is manufactured by an exclusive process from a peculiar mineral deposit found in the bed of the Arkansas River at Muskogee, Okla. It is a fine white powder which is mixed, before , being applied, with a heavy, white oil, called Kellastone OiL No ' water, sand, lime, hair or any other material is required. Kellastone "sets' to the hardness and whiteness'of marble. It is not only like stone it is stone, yet it is elastic In spite of its hardness it bends. Kellastone will withstand a deflection of 2 inches in 4 feet without any injury whatever. It is absolutely guaranteed not to crack. Watch a Demonstration- Then Test It Yourself The peculiar properties of the four Kellaatone products Stucco. Interior. Floor, injt and Roofing are so extraordinary as to be almost beyond belief.
