A cork insulated houso can be heated with a much smaller plant. Armstrong's Corkboard Insulation saves the cost of the excess radiation that has to be put into an uninsulated house to offset the heat loss through tha construction. The cork insulated house is more uniformly heated and freer from drafts. Bedrooms that are opened at night warm up more quickly when the heat is turned on in the morning. It is drier and quieter a more healthful and comfortable house in every respect.

You can't afford to build an uninsulated house. Investigate Armstrong's Corkboard. It insures you comfort. It saves you money. An illustrated booklet will be sent to you free on request.

Bloomfield Hills district in beauty." stated Luke Leonard In his address to the subdivision department of the Judson Bradway company, realtors, Monday. fVOODWMl FOR SMALL HOME To prevent this loss, a house must be insulated-lined wijth cork to retain the heat.

Armstrong's Corkboard possesses this property of retarding heat flow in a much higher degree than ordinary building materials. Engineers call it low conductivity, and it in due to the peculiar structure of cork, a mass of minute sealed air cells which offer so much resistance to the passage of heat-that very little gets through. In fact, the transmission is so small that it takes 24 inches of brick or stone to give the same insulating effect as one and one-half inches of Armstrong's Corkboard. Lining the roof and walls with Armstrong's Corkboard makes them practically heat-tight and saves the fuel that is wasted through the heat-leaking construction of uninsulated houses. But this is not all.

If less heat is wasted "For 2.1 years Judson Bradway haa been developing real estate projects and his Bloomneld Village is probably the climax of his efforts In this Wfis a time when uuiy ior tne very nv 111 room wnre only found In the tme of thn h-r 'he mM vi.
