NNHE undersigned offers the public FIRE
4 PROOF ROOFING MATERIAL, possessing
the following advantages over everything Of the
kind which has heretofore been discovered.
II is ncombustible; isimperyious to water; Is not
affected by thu atmosI here by the sun; and is a
non-conductor Of heat. Il can be applied to any
species Of ROOF, fat or inclined. Slate require
heavy timber, and expensive Roofs. / he contrac-
ton, expansion and resting of metallic roofs are
great In this climate, that they become worth
ess, or the repairs will cost more than roof.
The various cements and compositions which have
been introduced, can be applied only to- very fat
roof, and they are affected by the actio Of the
weather, that they will melt and run in the SIMMER
and crack in the winter.
The Southern Fireproof Roofing is much cheap
or than States, it will last as long needs no re-
pairing, and when finished has the appearance of
stone, aud is quite as durable. 1t supersedes the
necessity of valley or hanging cutters; no flashing
required for chimneys, and the roof may be fat or
steep. 1t is invaluable for repairing old Roofs
old shingle roofs may be covered without removing
the shingles; old metallic Roofs may be made per-
fectly tight and secure.
The PRtentees have lately invented an article of
hair feting they advise the use of instead of
cloth. 1t does not adhere TO the sheeting and con-
sequently is not tern BY the shrinking or swelling of
it. Planters and Buffers can be furnished with the
Southern Fireproof Roofing, with plain instructions
how to apply it.
A sample of the Hair Felting may be seen at the
store of Messrs. GEO. FEARN & CO.
