One-fifth of a brick wall is mortar...choose it carefully.




In the new Houston Natural Gas Building they wanted white exterior walls. So they used 1,500,000 specially made king-size white bricks. That accounted for about four-fifths of the surface. The other fifth was the mortar. To get it white they made it of Trinity White Masonry Cement.

Result: Walls that are five-fifths white. And spectacularly beautiful. Trinity White Masonry Cement is pure white. Its purity of color recommends it for every white mortar specification- and for every tinted mortar as well. White accepts pigment best. Literature free on request.
