Patent Galvanic Cement

2o Cd II O Cd cd G 8 IN 5e
TNHE undersigned having purchased the
a right for this Cement in Miffiln and Gen.
tire counties, are now prepared to furnish ana
put il on roofing wherever deslred-the roof
being sbeeted by the owner. Scientific men
under the direction of government, and ar
chitects and builders in various parts OF the
onuntrv for wears have been studying and
axnerin,enting to discover some composition
or article for roofing, which would resist the
changes of our climate, and would unite the
qualities of HaperricasneSs to Wdter, Asconi-
Justibilty, Durability and CheaPness. No
article now in use possesses these qualities
Shingles are not fire proof, and cannot be used
upon fat roofs. Slate can only be used upon
steep roofs. The contraction, expansion and
rusting of metallic roofs are so great in this
changeable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost more than
a now roof 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 a short time become
crumbly and worthless. The inventor of the
Galvanic Cement has labored twenty years to
obviate 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 impervious to water
Water may continually stand upon the roof
without affecting it in the least.
Seconds is fre-proof. 1t is 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-Tt is durable It 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 all kinds of roof,
either fat or steep.
Eighth-It is valuable for repairing old
roofs. Old shingle roofs may be covered
without sremoving the shingles. Ola metallic
roofs can be made perfectly tight and secure.
Ninth-It is especially adapted TO all kinds
Of scanning around battlements, sky-lights
aud chimneys, and for the lining of cave
tzoughs and cutters. Roofs which haye given
trouble for years, end 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
nishins coat which is at once impervious to
water and an almost perfect non-conductor of
heat.
Twelfth-It is the only roofing material
patented which contains India rubber and
gutta percha.
