The Cheapest Roof is the Gravel Roof

George Crumbacker, Of this city, is
now fully prepared to put on gravel
roofs in the most improved method, and
warrants his work to give satisfaction,
both as to resisting fire and turning
water. The tar used is put through a
process that frees it from oil and beBzoe,
and no matter how great the heat, i. will
not run. 1t is equally efficient in roofs
of every conceivable pitch. Mr.. Crum-
hacker keeps on hand roofing cement
and cement for tanks and sidewalks of
the best quality, which he offers for sale
at the lowest rates. This ROOF has stood
fifteen years in this city.
Address aim through the postofce or
call at his establishment, head of 18th

attended 10.
