Rose Murphy Dies, Wife of Former BAC President

A native of New York City, Mrs. Murphy met her future husband while they were attending high school. Following graduation, she went to Maxwell Teachers Training College and taught in the New York City public school system prior to her marriage to Tom Murphy.
When her husband was tapped by BAC to become treasurer in 1948, she moved to the Washington area with him and their two children, Thomas F. Jr. and Denise. They settled in suburban Chevy Chase, MD, where she was active in the ladies societies of their church.
During her husband's tenure of office in BAC, she traveled extensively with him, attending international conventions. She will long be remembered for her graciousness and the special attention she extended to people.
7 lbs of Easy-Spred outdoes 50 lbs of lime in
* Workability
* Board Life
* Convenience
* Cost Savings
Our little bag of Easy-Spred only outweighs lime in advantages. One easy-to-handle 7 lb bag of Easy-Spred mortar plasticizer outworks a 50 lb bag of lime while producing smoother, creamier, more workable mortar. Spreads like butter for easy tooling of joints and better flow to cross joints and you won't have to re-butter head joints.
Besides being 7 times easier to pick up, Easy-Spred is also completely non-toxic and won't burn skin or eyes. Its cost is lighter too.
Easy-Spread is naturally compatible with basic ingredients in mortar and is effective for use with brick, block, or stucco.
