Portable or Composition Roofing.

There Is probably no article of manu-
facture so universally needed as a reliable
low priced roofing, which can be readily APP
piled without the aid of skilled labor, and
in no other direction has so great want
been so inefficiently supplied. The results
Of experiments with felts, dement's and other
compositions have so far been anything but
satisfactory. Numerous so-called "cheap
rootings" have been produced, advertised,
used and found worthless In view of these
facts We are glad to be able TO speak favor
ably OF an article which from our own
knowledge and the testimony of some OF the
most extensive and best known manufacture
ers and merchants in this country has proven
a reliable and economical substitute for the
more expensive kinds of roofing. We refer
to II. W. Johns Patent Asbestos Roofing,
the manufacturers of which make no eXtrava-
CANT representations, but claim it to be the
only reliable portable roofing in use, and from
careful inquiry We believe their claims are
well founded. This roofing is prepared
ready for use, can be easily applied by UNI
skilled workmen, is adapted for steep or flat
roofs in all climates, and when finished with
the achite .fre-prO0f coating forms the lightest,
handsomest and coolest roof i'll the world,
costing only about half as much as tin.
Samples, illustrated catalogues, price lists,
and any desired information can be obtained
from III. W. Johns Manufacturing Co.,
patentees and sole manufacturers, 81 Maiden
Lane, New York. This company have re-
Gently completed new mandatory, the
most extensive works of the kind in the
world, and have reduced their prices to IA
basis which place their goods within the
reach of every one. They also manufacture
liquid paints, all shades, which are guaran-
teed equal to any for general purposes and
the most durable for outside work Of any
paints in use. In body and richness Of color
the Asbestos Paints surpass any we have
ever seen. Fire-proof paint, an economical
substitute for white lead, costing only -
cents per gallon, for the protection of facto-
ries, bridges and other wooden structures
against fire, is also valuable for the class of
outbuildings, fences, etc, which are usually
allowed to go implanted. Roof paint, steam
pipe and boiler coverings, steam packing,
sheathings, Innings, cements etc, all of
which can be relied upon as being in every
respect as represented, and We advise our
leaders before purchasing paints or roofing,
compare them with all others.

Nancy Jane is Black Hills charac-

locks. She wears buckskin broad
