Does Your Roof Leak

In a0QltlOn TO the twenty reasons
given below there are three other
good reasons just now why you
should buy red cedar shingles.
First: Excessive rains have found
the holes in every old roof.
Second: Owing to the advance in
zinc, the price of galvanized iron
has increased enormously.
Third: The price of red cedar
shingles has not advanced.
These are the twenty additional
reasons why red cedar shingles
should be used:
/. Because red cedar shingles
are endorsed by years of experience.
g. Because red cedar shingle
roofs that have been on for thirty
two years are still in excellent
shape.
8 Because red cedar shingles do
not rot. rust or cOrrode.
a. Because of the resistance of
red cedar shingles to decay.
S. Because of the light weight of
red cedar shingles. tney do not
make cumbersome roof.
6. Because when properly nailed
red cedar shingles are not affected
by the wind.
i. Because red cedar shingles do
not require close sheeting.
8. Because red cedar shingles
are not affected by hail as are pat
ent roofings. n.'s
8. Because red cedar shingles do
not require the upkeep and frequent
paintings that metal and patent
roofing requires.
10. Because a red cedar shingle
roof is comparatively noiseless dur
ing heavy rain or hail storms.
II. Because red cedar shingles
are poor conductors of heat and
cold, thus making a house cooler in
summer and warmer in winter than
coverings which readily conduct
heat and cold.
IL. Because of the beauty of
red cedar shingled roofs.
IS. Because of the beauty and
popularity of red cedar shingles in
bungalow designs. Nothing can
compare with the beauty of shingles
in bungalow construction.
ID. Because of the ease and var
iety of colors with which red cedar
shingles can be stained.
is. Because of the ease of laying
red cedar shingles.
Is. Because of the cheapness of
red cedar shingles when initial cost
and upkeep are considered
II. Because of the ease with
which local injury to red cedar
shingle roof can be repaired.
10. Because the ordinary lay
man can tell at a glance what quail
ity red cedar shingle he is purchas-
ing. while it takes a chemist to de-
termine the quality of other roofing
materials.
10. Because red cedar shingles
used as siding may be laid in num-
erous designs to suit different tastes.
20. Because red cedar shingles
make the best and cheapest roof
covering known.
1t takes three things to make a
good roof:
A good red cedar shingle.
A good nail.
A good carpenter.
We can furnish you all the in.
formation necessary to obtain all
three.
