Cerfdin-teed
Roofing

takes its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process so
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General"
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
AT each Of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
il is guaranteed for S, 10 or Is years, according
to thickness Q, 2 or 3ply). Experience proves
tbzf it lasts longer Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roo6ngs and building papers.
