FVHE undersigned having purchased the
right for this Cement in Mifflin and Cen
tre 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 climate, and would unite the
qualities of ImperCiousness TO Water, IitcOm-
bustibiLay, Durability and Cheapness. Nc
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
chan geable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs viii cost more than
new 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 nc has entirely succeeded. AS
now applied, a....
/ First-It is completely impervious to water.
/ Water may continually stand upon the roof
/ without affecting it in the least.
| Seeond-It is fire e-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-It 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 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 hattlements, sky-fght:
and chimneys, and for the lining Of cave
troughs and cutters Roofs which have giver
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 an(
| steamboat decks.
Eleventh-This cemeas applied to new til
roofs preserves them from rusting, by fur
nishing a coat which is at once imperviops t.
water and an almost perfect non-conductor o
heat.
Twelfth-It is the only roofing materia
f patented which contains India rubber an
e gutta percha.
