Effect of Bond and Mortar Joint

But this is not all there is to be said on the artistic side by

any means. The structural necessity of bonding the brick makes

possible any number of beautiful bond and pattern effects, as

illustrated on pages 33-35; and the kind of mortar joint, struck,

cut flush, tooled, or raked (Fig. 57), properly toned with a color

to harmonize with the brick, produces the most charming results

which, in sunshine or shadow, give ever varying artistic effects.

In the beauty of brickwork, you have a great opportunity to arouse

and hold the interest of your possible clients. On that basis alone

you can make a strong appeal in offering your services.
