THE subscribers are now prepared 10 cover roofs OF
Il buildings with q new and better article than ever
The public ate aware that our Government has had
scientific men experimenting. and that IL has been the
study of Architects and Builders for years, 10 discover
an article for roonns purposes that would stand the ~ a.
den changes OF the weather, and be imperyious - lire
and water, aud remain a permanent fixture. As yet,
nothing has been obtained without costing more than
The people wish. The contraction. expansion and ust-
ing Vi metal roofs, are so great ia this cbaBgeable eli
mate, that they become useless, unless being repaired
at q great expense yearly. Shingles are not IRE proof
and cannot DO used on nat roofs,-and the various com
positions aud cements that have been brought into use
Tor roofing, do not stand the action Of the weather, but
run when it Ia warm, and crack when IL Is frosty and
AFTER one or two years become efumbly and worthless
Whereas, the Inventor Of the Galyanlc Cement has la
bored 20 years TO combine article TO obyiate those dim
culties. and San testify from 81. long experience and
nnmssea- iA..smouisIs non iSftsht~ parsons who have
had hs combination applied TO their buildings mat W..

known, and Ia also admirably adapted To Cars, Steam
boats. &c. The combination OF thts Cement Is such
that il calculated for entire new roofs, dat on steep, GOV,
| enng over old shingles without removing them, lining
| eve troughs, seeming around battlements, ehimneyi
and sky-llghs. Two coats OF the Cement applied te
tn roofs, will prevent hem from fusting, and leaking
and remain q permanent fixture, at one-quarer The ex
ueuss q new roof would cost. See testimonials.
