| TEXT | One of the most important improvements in the line of the builders' trade is the famous plastering which is applied by the old established firm of Power Brothers. It is the only plastering in the world which cannot fall oft, and is the invention of these gentlemen, who early realized the many grave defects inherent in the old style of plastering which is so apt, even when best applied, to fall off with ordinary usage, seriously endangering the occupants and contents of rooms; while in case of fire, or of a leakage of water, the entire ceiling drops off, causing serious loss and trouble. The Messrs. Power Brothers invented and have patented a plastering, which in their own emphatic language "cannot fall off." Wherever it has been .applied by them, there it is to-day, as good as ever it was. The best kind of proof is always the practical one; seeing is believing, and so when a serious fire occurred in the huge building in the dry goods district, Nos. 31 and 33 Thomas Street, this year, the Messrs. Power, who had plastered it, took justifiable pride in inviting the interested public, after the fire, to call and see for themselves what state the plastering was in. It was found to be as sound and perfect on the ceilings as when first applied, though the water from fourteen steam fire-engines had played incessantly for twelve hours upon it, and that of two engines for forty-eight hours. The plastering thus saved the building, and triumphantly proved the efficacy of the firm's patent. It will stand water either from above or below, and property owners should consult their own interests by calling on Messrs. Power Brothers, at No. 1444 Broadway, and see into the merits of the firm's plastering, which saves insurance, saves the expense of repairs, and saves any further annoyance. Only a few days since, a gentleman received the full force of the fall of a piece of ceiling plaster, five feet in diameter, in his Broadway office, and narrowly escaped fatal injury. This could never have occurred with Power plastering. Such cases are too numerous to mention, and all go to prove the dangers of the old style of plastering. The Messrs. Power Brothers are old established tradesmen, having founded in business away back in 1859, and are among New York's best known and most popular master plasterers. They have built up the finest connection in the city, and employ many hands in the execution of the finest and most artistic classes of work. All work done by them can be relied on, as they are practical men, with a vast range of experience. They keep all classes of designs for cornices and centrepieces, etc., in stock, and take the highest rank among our leading plasterers as strictly honorable and unusually talented tradesmen, and upright and popular private citizens. |
