It places the wire netting in the centre of the plaster, thus preventing it from being reached by either Fire or Water. 2. It Isolates the wire netting and staples from the wood work by a non-conducting material, thus preventing them from igniting the timber la case of fire. • 3. It requires no iron supports which when fixed to wood work are more a source of danger than security from fire. i. It requires but the ordinary thickness of plaster to render fire proof. 5. It is applicablo to inside and outside of Build« ings. 6. It can be made in Slabs fixed and finished in one operation, this itself is worth knowing as it does away with the annoyance of waiting a week or two until it dries in the midst of ! dirt and dust in the case of any alterations being made while business is carried on. 7. No special wire netting required for thi a plastering, any ordinary wire netting—galvanised—> will do. Specimens can be seen, and alljinforniation ob. tained at J AS. B. BL A IfK IE ' ;-;,;; .
