Patent Galvanic Cement

UIIE undersigned having purchased the
I right for this Cement in Mitflin and Cen
ire counties, are now prepared to furnish and
put it on roofing wherever desired-the roof
being sheeted by the owner. Scientific men
under the direction Of government, and ar
chitectS and builders in various parts of the
country, for years have been studying and
experimenting to discover some composition
or article for roofing, which would resist the
changes Of our cIimate, and would unite the
qualities of impeIrioHsHeSs 10 U0ter, Ac0Bt-
btfstiLiIi{H. Durability and CheGpRess No
article now in use possesses these qualities.
Shingles are not fire proof, and cannot be used
upon fiat roofs Slate can only be used upon
steep roofs The contraction, expansion and
rusting of metallic roofs are 50 great in this
changcablc climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost more than
Il new rUGf. The various cements and COM
positions which have been introduced, can be
supplied only to very fat roofs, and they are
all so affected by the action Of the weather
that they will melt and run in summer and
crack in winter, and IN short time become
crumbIy and worthless The inventor Of the
Galyanic Cement has labored twenty years to
obviate these difficulties, and it is believed by
those who have had opportunities to test the
matter, that be has entirely succeeded. As
now applied,
First-It is completely impervious to water.
Water may continually stand upon the roof
without affecting it in the least
Second-lt is fire proof Iii 50 incombus-
tible that it will afford ample and perfect pro-
lection against fire, sparks and burning shin
giles from another building Immediately ad-
joining.
Third-It is durable 1t is not injured by
atmospheric changes, having been tested for
several years by the Patentec, at Syracuse,
New York.
Fourth-It is cheap Roofs will be put on
for about half the cost Of tin, and Will last
much longer.
Fifh--Repairs are easily and cheaply made
Sixth 1t is sufficiently elastic to entirely
resist the expansion and contraction by heat
and cod, and will remain perfect and solid in
the warmest and coldest weather
Sever th-It is adapted to all kinds of roofs
either fat or steep.
Eighth--It is valuable for repairing old
roofs Old shingle roofs may be covered
without removing the shingles. Old metallic
roofs can be made perfectly tight aud secure
Ninth-It is especially adapted to all kinds
of scanning around battlements, sky-lights
and chlmneys, ana LOT the Hhlh9 OF cave
troughs and cutters. Roofs which have given
trouble for years, and which have continued
to leak in spite of all efforts, can be made
perfectly secure by this cement.
Tenth-It has been proved to be the bes
article ever used for covering car tops anC
steamboat decks.
Eleventh--This cement applied to new Tn
roofs preserves them from rustlng, by fur
nishing a coat which is at once impervious L
water and an almost perfect non-eonductor 0
heat.
Twelfth-It is the only roofing materla
natented which contains India rubber anc
gutta percha.
For a specimen of this cement we invite
owners of property to call at our mills, wher'
a single coating, put on in December last ha
kept the buildings perfectly dry through th'
winter. Il. Il. LOCKE 90,
