TIME undersigned has obtained the agency for
L. JOHNS l. CROSLEY'S IMPROVED OUT
TA-PERCHA AND INDIA RUBBER ROOFING
MATERIAL, which consists Of thick body roof
ing cloth, one yard wide, saturated in solution Of
Gutta Pcrcha ord Isdia Rnbter combined which
not OILY preserves the cloth bat renders it highly
elastic, so that tie shrinking Of new boards will
not injure it. This is nailed to the bearded
roof and Their coated with q coat of The above So
luton, on which we use fine building sand thus
giving it il two or three DAYS surface of stone
and at the time elastic body, which is net
affected by the extremes OF heat or cold.
This very excellent Roofing material has been
thoroughly tested in the cities OF Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, and
all the prominent cities of the Union, with unusual
success by Arch ;ects, Builders and others-many
years of experience having demonstrated the fact
that it is
The cheapest and Best Reef GeW in use,
The COST BEING ONLY 61I CTS. Pen SQUARE
Foor being less than sand or gravel roof, cheaper
than the commonest kind Of Shingles, about one
half the price of Tin Slate in fact, it combines
all The requisite ct the age, viz Cheapness, dura-
bilitv elasticity ana iire-proo 1t is adapted to all
kinds Of roofs, whether steep or fiat, or subject to
being walked upon. 1t is easily applied to old
single roofs, without the necessity OF removing
the old shingles, which is great desidera uln to
persons who dc not wish their furniture and cell
ings spoiled while repairs are being made.
GuGta Percha Roofing Gem ent,
as above stated, is combined solution CT GUTTA
PERCIIA AND INDIA RUBBER, made into a
consistency CT four coats O. house paint. It's adj
niraby adapted to the coating of cid or new tin
roofs as preventive against rust or corroslon, as
it adheres so firmly to all It's parts, that ieaky TIA
or other metal roofs are readily repaired, as one
coat Of this cement will render it preof az anst rust
and leak for many years. All new tin roos ought
to have a coat on the principle san ounce OF pre-
ventatiye is better than pound of cure 1t will
not crack or peel Off i'll cold weather, nor run in
warm weather, " i'll not wash Oft. l will put
coat of this cement for two cents per square
foot. and insure satisfaction.
