Roofing

takes 'its place in the SUM- 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 ssphalts,
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 Generals blend Of asphalts is the result
Of long experience. 1t produces a roofing
more pliable than those which have less satura-
ton, and which are, therefore, harder and drier.
