Beauty that Defies Time
Rain, snow and sleet can not harm FACE BRICK. The lapse of
time cannot injure the natural tints and surface texture that
are burned' into the brick. On the contrary, brick grows old
gracefully, mellowing with the years, its beauty and charm
enhancing with age.... • .
Everything inflammable, or that can decay, has been burned
out of brick before it is laid; permanent beauty has been burn-
ed in.
> •
The cost of walls built of fa o and tile is little if any high-
■ er than less dupible constru This low cost* with little up-
keep expense, lower i isu-anc , us permanence makes brick
and tile tbe best building investment.
