JUST A WORD

'~ A word that should interest a great many people throughout our land and country. You know that the Roofing proposition has been for a number of years q very great problem. Some thing that has caused q very great amount of dissatisfaction and unrest. For if you had d wood roof that would not leak you were always uneasy about fire-but now since the good wills of nature have so constituted q man with the good power of mind.
 This beautiful artistic fire safe and long durable flied material which is Known as Art Craft Slate Roll Roof ing.
 Say, good people, Eve got just this much confidence in Art Craft that | think thiS-ii man has a house with U good roof that does not leak il soon Stands him in hand to cover bis house With Fire Safe Art Craft. Why! Be- cause if his neighbors' barn burns or trash ben gets on fire you can rest ab- sOlutely. Your roof is not exposed to fire. If so it is not cOmbustable. E.lII
