You, as residents of the Valley have no ABSOLUTE fire protection for your

ALBI-"R”
"The Paint That Checks Fire”
MiBI-“R
99 GIVES POSITIVE FIRE PROTECTION TO WOOD, PLYWOOD, FIBRE BOARD,
ACCOUSTICAL BOARD, PLASTER, PLASTERBOARD, BRICK and METALS
How Albi-“R” Protects Surfaces from Fire !
When a surface treated with Albi-"R" is exposed to flame, the
Albi-"R" coating puffs up to form a heavy, protective insula
tion which keeps the surface from burning. This character
t istic organic cellular mat prevents flash fires, greatly retards
flamespread and prevents the penetration of heat to the
treated surface.
Albi-“R” Gives Lasting Fire Protection
Tests conducted at Purdue University Experiment Station
failed to effect the appearance, bonding or fire-retardant
qualities of Albi-"R" after the equivalent of 12 years of
weathering.
Albi-“R” is a genuine guarantee for the best possible preventative
fire protection to your farm buildings, home, store, office building
and all other places subject to the hazard of fire.
WE HAVE A FULL SUPPLY FOR IMMEDIATE DEMAND. FREIGHT TO
PALMER AND VICINITY PAID ON ALL ORDERS OVER $300.00.
