Architects and Builders
Should not Ii!i examine tls Roofing, better
forms hard and smooth surface that VIII resist the
action Of the atmosphere in every climate. Ii Is
pervious 10 water elastic and flexible. 1t contracts
aud expands with the changes OF the atmosphere and
will neither evaporate, crack rot; and as 10 its
durability, there IS no question
1t is practically imperislable, and will perfectly
any ordinary external exposure 10 fre, is fully
ami abunGanty proven, and we will warrant il water
proof We VIII engage to put our Roofing over or
dnary good snehing, Old shingles, tar and gravel,
tin, Znc copper, or iron roos-t making no difference
how steep dat they may be-ior seven dollars per
hundred square feet; II beng far cheaper than
roof OF the old stiei and We are sure il VIII give bet
ter satisfaction
1t Will also be found to be the best thing ever in
vented To cover OF mend old leaky tin, tar and gravel
roofs, around chinncys, scuttles, dormer windows
and guttcrs, where Jhs tin is rusted through. This
Cement can be put un % last as long stone, and
form perfect adhesion 10 amy object To which ii IS
applied. I'm Roofs can be ccmented over (and war
ranted not leak at tHo dollars and fty per
hundred square feet which is cheaper and much bet
than paint. This Roofing will be found TO be the
best thing for covering large Roofs where they are
posed 10 hrc-such steam Mills, saw Mills Eacto-
rIcs, Railroad Cars, Bridges, DePots Station Houses,
Steamboat Decks and IN every kind OF Roof where
there Is an external exposure from fire. As the Roof
IS perfect without joint in 1t, II presents no chance
lor hre TO communicate, and any light substance will
burn out without igniIing.
