IRON ROOFING.
$ no longera new thing, as many suppose, but
has been used in many places in Europe and the
United States for more than fifty years, and
would be almost universally used If it could
have been afforded heretofore at as low cost as
now, and had as good material and a perfect
| mode of construction been known and used,
| such as are embraced in the Augusta Iron Roof
| ing and Paint.
| NONE BUT THE VERY BEST REFINED
| IRON is USED
in our roofing. This iron we have manufactured
especially for our own use, and all imperfect
| sheets are thrown out. The iron Is painted on
| both sides with
| IRON CLAD PAINT
This paint has proved to be the best roofing
paint in the world. 1t has an established repu-
tatiOn of fifteen years standing throughout the
United States. It is especially adapted as pro,
lection to iron, tin or wood. I'VE apply the third
coat after the roof is put on and it will last for
years without deterioration.
ITS ADVANTA GEES O OYER SHINGLES.
| Shingles were once made of the best selected
timber and lasted longer than now; they are
such timber as cannot be made into anything
else, and are short-lived at BEST and frequently
leak rain or fine snow The average life of shin
gle roofs lis twelve years, and in towns where
coal is used only ten years. Shingles are old
fashioned and have seen their best days.
| NINE TENT1HS OF THE FIRES OCCUR ON
THE ROOFS.
| People are now guarding against fire more
/ than ever before, to prevent loss and increase
\ happiness Insurance is about 0ne-third less IN
case OF an IRON TO0f.
ITS ADVANIA GEES OYER SLATE.
| Slate roofing is very costly, all things being
Considered. Slate roofing will crack by freezing
ana thaW1ng ana from neat OF aaJacent nr res
or seven times as heavy as iron, it requires q
strong and expensive structure to bear 1t up, and
an extreme pitch, which makes q large amount
of surface they often cause building to settle
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.
| CLsTERN WATER.
| Those using the water from this roofing will
be very much pleased to find how much cleaner
the rain water is than from a dirty shingle or
gravel roof. The covering being smooth, the
wind keeps it clean from all dirt, leaving none
to be washed in the ciStern.
| HOW LONG WILL TLASTs
roofing will last, and we answer by saying that
every person knows that as long as iron does
not rust it will last and as it is kept painted it
will not rust. There is never any wear on the
under side to wear the paint of, and II 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.

gnia. We employ none but the best material
