TOUGH WATERPROOF BUILDING PAPER SISALKRAFT (Standard grade) will conveniently cover any formation of sandbags, providing weatherproof protection for a considerable time. With the addition of a coat of Tar or Cement "slurry" this protection will be definitely prolonged. SISALKRAFT has an ingenious reinforcement and is very nearly untearable. The purchase of a few rolls NOW will save a lot of unnecessary shovelling and sweeping later on— not to mention re-bagging.
A layer of SISALKRAFT will prevent sand filtering through gratings and windows and finding its way into machinery. Also in large demand for lining, partitioning and as a tarpaulin.
