Remarkable
RuberOid
Roofing

Statistics prove that less than 2
per cent of the roofs on which mill
lions of rolls of Ruberiod Roofing
have been applied during the past
twelve years have been painted or
coated.
This is a record of durability never
even approached by any roofing,
whether of metal or other material.
1t is a positive demonstration of
weather-prOOf, acid-prOOf, water
proof, and fire-resisting qualities
such as are found in no other roofing.
This roofing is for long wear. For
temporary roofing we have cheaper
grades.
