Company ftnd the Abilene Reporter
after selecting the general typo of
architecture and design made n
- careful study of building materials
for the walls of tho home and de-

that the walls of the Homo Beau
tlful should be of a burnt clay ma-
terial; as burnt clay is recognized
as permanent and becfiusa it does
not depreciate In value like" other
wall building materials.
While Investigating the -arlous
torms of burnt clay materials it
-was found that P000 yarsngo or
thereabouts clay came into use nn
a building material. At firpt it
was mixed with straw roughly
fashioned Into brick form and
baked Jn tho sun.
Modern clay products of course

Some- years ngo there came n

vented aud two of tho clriof faults
of brick were 'in a moasuro overr

But square hollow tile has not

Stucco Work and
Plastering Done
By Tom Le Suer I
The stuccoing of the exterior
walls and tho plastering of the in-
terior walls of the Home Beautiful
are Indeed a work of art and cori-
cluslvely display the ability ami ej
t iclency of Tom LeSuer who did all
plastering and stucco work on thu
building. The fact that Mr. LoSyer
has been Jn this industry for for.ty-
one years evidences the years of
experience that he has had whlqn
has coverca a wiae range ot terri-
tory and every conceivable kind
of residence and building.
Mr. IJeSuer came to Abilene fif-
teen years ngo from Nashville
Tenn. and since that time has play
cd an Important" part in thB con-
struction of uoino of the largost and
handsomest homes and public
buildings in tho city. To cnumer-.

In dedicating an "Electric Home Beautiful"

is attempting to create a new and better
standard for West Texas homes; an act wor-
thily in keeping with the motto on the Com-
paii3r s crest: JMiicient riiDiic bervice.
Some of these 117353 Hupmobile owners
drive shining new models; others drive vet-
erans of two and three and four year cam-
paigns while still others drive cars that
are frankly "old timers" with creditable
duty records of eight and ten and twelve .
