STRONG'S 3 PLY ROOFING,

Progress has characterized the develop
ment OF various grade, OtrOot coverings. our
extensive experience of many years has been
drawn upon to secure a roofing that would
cost less and last longer than shingle, until
now we present with confidence what we
claim 10 be the perfection OF roofings
Strong's 3 Ply roofing l. the best in the mar
ket, today, and the ste ably increasing de-
mand tor the same Is satisfactory proof that
those who desire durable, efficient and econ
omical sub= titutes tor shingle, tin and iron
root coverings have found "StrOng's" Ply
to fill the bill completely. 1t is suited to all
climates, endures the extremes OF all sea-
sons water and acld proof; adapted to all
sorts OF roots, whether steep or Nat; mex
pensive and lasting; is rolled upon solid
wooden cores, thus avoiding their liability
TO damage by being handled or while in

that faithfulncss is. after all. only Il negative

and success in every sphere of human activity
and without It the whole complex structure OF

that it is Indispensable; hut 10y It's very nature

Young man who starts with the idea of mtat-
Ing the machine in performing his daily tasks.
He is intent only on fulfilling the letter of his
contract with his employer. Day after day,
month after month. and year after year he
moves through Il spritoss routine of labor He
never does less than he Is told 10 do: but on
the other hand, he never does more. He gives
to his employer whatever mental or mcchan-

and when promotions come. and he finds, rs he
does that he Is overlooked he is surprised per

required OF him? Why, them has his faithful
ness been so poorly appreciated! The result
of il all Is that he begins To harbor Il dull re-
some Of the machnclikc faithfuncSS which he
conccivcs to have been so ill rewarded: and
though he NAV not actually lose his position. he
takes his place among the great army of mind
