A Successful Roanoke Industry.

Y AMONG the industries of this city none
has shown steadier progress. all things
considered, than the Roanoke Roofing
and Metal Cornice Company. All
through the period of business de-
preston work was continued there, not
only for the city and vicinity, but for
various portions of the Southern and
Southwestern States. During the pres
emit month. besides being busy with
homo contracts, the company has turned
out galvanized iron trimmings for jail
In Louisiana, courthouse at another
point In the same State, and also for a

that the city Is again forging to the
front with her old-time vigor.
