Rights for "Trugraning." This is a new process for putting the most artistic figuring into any ordinary plain timbers. Furniture, either old or new, can be Trugraned. If you are building call and see us before deciding on your panelling, eto. KONKA SHEATHING. We hold the North Canterbury Agency for this ideal building material. Konka doesn't decay with age like weatherboards, but goes on hardening until it is stone-hard. KONKA is damp-proof, sound-proof, 'fireproof, and borer-proof, and, is a non-donduc-tor of heat. . Konka Walls are strong and rigid, while lath and plaster walls are weak and springy. The cost of upkeep of Konka homes is merely nominal; the owners therefore save the constantly recurring heavy costs of painting weatherboarded houses. Fire insurance rates are also very low. Briefly statAl, Konka is an ideal building material, combining the good qualities of brick, atona* and timber without any of their disabilities, and we predict that in the near future iully 75 per cent, of all new residences in this district will be in Konka. If you are thinking of building, write, 'phone, or call for our free illustrated brochure showing some of the beautiful homes that have been erected with Konka Sheathing.
