ITS ADVANTAGES OYER SLATE.

Slate roofing is very costly, all things being
considered. Slate roofing will crack by freezing
and thawing, and from heat of adjacent fires
will crumble and slide, and will blow off. Six
or seven times as heavy as iron, 1t requires a
strong and expensive structure to bear it up, and
Of surface thew often canse hniding to sette
out of shape, and the rule of measurement is
always greater than iron roofing. Slate roofs
are condemned at many places Many people say
they want no more slate roof, and many archi-
tects advise customers not to have slate roof.

HOWLONG WILL ITLASTs

We have frequently been asked how long our
roofing will last, and we answer by saying that
every person knows that as long as iron does
will not rust. There is never any wear on the
under side to wear the paint off, and If the up
per side is painted every ten or twelve years,
we do not see any reason to prevent its lasting
one hundred years.
Our roofing is all made in the factory, and put
up in packages of 100 square feet, painted on
both sides, cleats and paint enough to give it
one heavy coat after the roof is laid.
