FENIIE undersigned having purchased the
I right for this Cement in Mifiiin and Gen.
tre counties, are now prepared to furnish and
put it on roofing wherever desired-the roof
being shected 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 climate, and would unite the
qualities Of LmDerri0uSResS 10 VQter, Lac0n-
basfibiiitV, DUFuJUitY and ChedpaesS. 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 so great in this
angcable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost mere than
a new roof The various ccments and com
positions which have been introduced can be
supplied only to very fiat roofs, and they are
all so affected by the action Of the weather
that they will mClt and run in summer and
crack in winter, and in a short time become
crumhiy and worthless. The inventor Of the
Galyanic Cement ha, labored twenty years to
obyiate these difficulties, and it Is believed by
those who have had opportunities to test the
matter that he has entirely succeeded. As
now applied,
First-It is completely imperyious to water
| Water may continually stand upon the roof
without affecting it in the least.
Second-It is fire proof. It's so 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 Patentee, 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.
Fifth--Repairs are easily and cheaply made.
Sixth 1t is sufficiently elastic to entirely
resist the expansion and contraction by heat
and cold, and will remain perfect and solid in
the warmest and coldest weather.
Seventh-It is adapted to ali 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 and secure.
| Ninth--It is especially adapted to all kinds
| of scanning around battlements, sky-lights
| 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 best
| article ever used for covering car tops and
! steamboat decks.
Eleventh--This cement applied to new tin
roofs preserves them from rusting. by fur
nishing coat which is at once impervious tC
water and an almost perfect non-conductor o.
| heat.
Twelfth-It is the only roofing materia
patented which contains India rubber anC
| gutta percha.
For specimen of this cement we invite
owners Of property to call at our mills. where
a single coating put on in December last, ha'
kept the buildings perfectly dry through th'
winter. E. i. LOCKE & CO.,
