for INTERIORS of LASTING BEAUTY
EVERY architect delights in the opportunity to create a
delicate color scheme where soft and subtle tints com
bine in the setting of perfect harmony.
For such exacting work Cemcoat is a most satisfactory
paint. Its composition—zinc and lithopone with on oil base-
gives it a character that cannot be expected of ordinary
paints.
But do not think of Cemcoat as an expensive paint. It is
very economico! because it is easy to apply and the cover
ing capacity is much above the average.
Gauged by actual durability—the length of time that a
Cemcoat job will retain its freshness-it is one of the least
expensive paints that can be specified.
Cemcoat is mode in a great variety of permanent colors
and complete information will be found in Sweet's catalog,
page A355. But let us send you the special Cemcoat book.
It is very helpful.

When \v«' took our insurance exams, they 4li<l not ask us if our great grand- fatln r vs cr sulTered from fallen arches . . . hut tlicy did demand proof that Sealex is the long-hved business floor. Great iiisnrance companies investi gate thoroughly before they decide that a floor is a "preferred risk''- the prejcrred buy for their own offices.
For example, Aetna and their archi tects spent upwards of a year trvin<r to find a better floor than Sealex for the same money—or as good a floor for less. I t coiddn't be done. Aetna ended by pnrcliasing over 270,000 square feet of Sealex Linoleum.
T o land orders of this magnitude, a floor must possess not one or two but many points of superiority. Kesilieiit Sealex Floors are quiet and com fortable to walk on—increasers of employee efliciency. They're hard to wear out but rasy to maintain—de- ereasers of overhead expense. Owners of Sealex Floors never receive bills for relinishing, never pay one cent for painting or scraping. An occasional light waxing keeps these floors in the pink of condition.
Yet this maintenance economy is not offered as an excuse for high lirst cost. Sealex Floors cost no more (often cost less) than floors that nrcd constant rmeuing. Recent pri<'e re ductions make Sealex a better S J M M i- fication than ever. (Sec wxt jui^i')

.S an authentic component of Italian de sign, Lomhardy Antique Tapered RooHng Tile is probably the most fitting unit obtainable.
This is true from the fact that, in the mak ing, a portion of clay is used with the shale, which creates a slightly porous body, similar to the old European tiles, and encourages the vegetation of moss and lichen.
I t is interesting to notice that the greatest recognition given Lombardy tile has come from some of the most discerning architects in the United States through its use on buildings of the highest type. Chief among other out standing examples are the Brooklyn E lks Club
