Fires can’t start or spread in noncombustible decorative hangings Serious fires usually result from the rapid spread of flames through materials that can burn. Now, replace an inflammable material with one that can’t burn — and you eliminate a fire hazard. Decorative hangings woven from Fiberglas yarns can’t burn. They’re glass. They’re originally and permanently noncombustible. Furthermore, in the midst of fire or searing hot blasts, these fabrics of Fiberglas will not contribute to the further depletion of oxygen, will not give off suffocating smoke and fumes. In hundreds of places of public assembly from coast to coast — in hotels, restaurants, clubs, schools, hospitals, auditoriums — architects, decorators and owners are designing for safety, including these decorative, noncombustible OWENS-CORNING Fiberglas fabrics of Fiberglas in their plans. Many attractive weaves and colorful patterns are available — and expert fabric service shops located in principal cities are ready to fashion and hang the draperies you select for your decorative scheme . . . write Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, Dept. 996, Toledo 1, 0.
