FENHE undersigned having purchased the
right for this Cement in Mffiin and Cen
tire counties, are now prepared to furnish and
pu. il 90 roofing wherever dcsired-the roof
being sheeted by the owner. Scientific !aen
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 tie
qualities of ImperUi0UsHesS 10 0ater, Lic0n-
tustijiiitg, Durability and CheapRess. 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
rustiDg Of metallic roofs are so great in this
changeable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs viii cost more than
a new roof The various cements and COM
positions which have been introduced, can bo
supplied only to very fiat roofs. and they are
all 50 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 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-It is fire 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.

atmospheric changes, having been tested for
several years by the Patentee, ut 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 roofs,
either fiat 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-ights
| and chimneys. and for the lining of cave
! bfOugHs anu gutters. IlooI5 "u'cfl nave gwen
| 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.
/ EleFenth--This cement applied to new tin
roofs preserves them from rusting, by fur
nishing a coat which is at once inpervious 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 tn
winter. u. &. LOCKE & CO.,
