WOOD GIVES CAMILLO'S RESTAURANT AND OFFICE BUILDINC BEAUTY AND WARMTH . . .

. . . plus economy and efficiency of construction!

=^aminatecJ woocJ members ancJ wood decking in the new

Camil lo 's Restaurant and Off ice Building in New Orleans

formed an ideal combination for this building where a highly

efficient structure was desired together with presenting a

cordial dining atmosphere," said Paul J . Mouton, Archi tect .

"The laminated beams and columns form a very functional

rigid frame while presenting a simple, clean-cut structure

of warmth and beauty.

"The economy of the structure is reflected in the use of

solid wood decking which provides the finish ceiling in the

restaurant and the walking surface for the offices above,

eliminating the need for separate flooring on the second

story and the need of hanging a ceiling below."

KHE BRICK FOR UHUSUALLY HANDSOME WALLS WITH

ONE-THIRD LESS BRICK Acme is doing wondrous things with brick. New King Size Brick, for example, makes pos­sible walls that are fascinating in themselves. An Acme King Size Brick wall has a new sweep and proportional cleanness of line, because King Size Brick is larger than regular mod­ular brick (King Size measures 9 % " x 2 % ' ' ) .

An Acme King Size Brick Wall can also be a constant object of interest and attention be­cause of the inspiring range of colors and textures available — which, being genuine new burned clay, will never fade, wear, or require any maintenance. Plan today to spend a few minutes soon at your Acme Brick sales office and examine King Size Brick. It will certainly give you something to think about.
