No building is more weather proof or
that Is rooted with materials susceptible
to fire or weather conditions is not only
an uncertain investment but an actual
menace to health and life. Fire plots Its
course from one inflammable roof to
another and unless there are roofs that
raise a barrier to the progress of the
flames the property owners OF the neigh
borhood are carrying big fire risk and
the buildings constitute q great menace
to the community.
That a realization of these essential
facts has been driven home In recent
years to real estate dealers. housing ex-
perts, home owners, architects and con-
tractors is shown by the tremendous
increase in the production of patent
roofing during the last twelve years as
contrasted with the production of wood
shingles in the same period. During this
period patent roofing advanced from
$4,000 squares in 1908 to 30.600,0OO
In 1919, while red cedar shingles slumped
from S,700,000 TO 100000 squares. The
roofer's square equals 100 square feet.
One of Nations Big Industries.
There are In the United States more
than forty factories engaged in the man
ufacture of asphalt shingles and prepared
roofing, representing with their allied
interests an investment of more than
$3.50 000, 900. 1t has been conservatively
estimated that the daily output of these
factories exceeds 100000 square feet
of finished material. This daily output,
II rolled into one sheet three feet wide,
would stretch from Chicago to Buffalo,
distance of more than 500 miles. and
would be sufficient to roof 1000 dwell
ings of average size. This material Is
shipped not only to all parts of the
United States but to South America,
Mexico. China, Italy. Austria. Germany.
England and Russia.
Twenty-Five years ago comparatively
small quantities OF asphalt roofing were
manufactured. Many roofs of this ma
terial. however. have lasted for more
than twenty years and asphalt shingles
are now generally guaranteed for a
period of ten years. Time has demon
strated the durability of asphalt and its

Many Cities Require Them.

Many of the more important cities
and towns in this country now require
fire resisting roofing within their fire
limits. Among these are Birmingham,
Ala; Jacksonville, Fla; New Orleans.

Perth Amboy, N. j.; Allentown, Pa;

The graceful free lines of a shingle
roof have been so intimately associated
from pioneer days with the architecture
of American houses that the shipgle roof
can almost be called the national roof
for the American home. No roof con-
struction offers so many varied effects
or permits such artistic treatment as
the shirgle. The new home not only
merits a roofing that will enhance its
architectural beauty. but II should have
protection from fire and pemanence un-
der variable weather conditions. This
is made possible by the asphalt shingle.
With a liberal field from which to make
selections of color, shape and methods
of application. roof of artistic appear
ance, as well as OF long durability, can
be chosen by the home builder or his
architect. from among the many types
of asphalt shingles and other prepared
asphalt roofings. of which there is a
wide variety, designed to meet different
requirements. These sheet roofings are
manufactured from woven or felted
fabric saturated and coated with asphalt
They may be obtained either In fiat
sheets or rolls OF suitable length. and OF
single or multiple ply fabric. according
to the requirement of cost and dura-
bility. Some of the sheet roofings are
surfaced with mineral matter such as
sand. gravel tale, slate and feldspar ;
some are manufactured with a lami-
mated surface, and some to initiate shin
gle structures of various designs. Many
of these decorative rooflngs have be-
come very popular In recent years and
are less expensive than shingles.
Roofing" constitutes an important
branch of a much broader field OF engl-
neering. known as "waterproohng." in
which asphalt has for thousands OF
years played an important part. The
ancient Egyptians were able 10 preserve
their mummies In good condition to the
present day by wrapping them In fabric
saturated and made waterproof and
weather resisting with asphalt. Modern
ingenuity has discovered no material bet
ter adapted to waterproofng and pre-
serving It's present day structures than
asphalt. 1t Is not surprising. therefore.
that as In recent years the production
OF asphalt In large quantities has been
rendered possible by refining crude pc
troleum It's use for roofing and water
proofing has developed rapidly. In many
structures. from roof to cellar, asphalt
plays an Important part, first as roofing.
then as sheathing and Insulating, and
finally as waterprooflng membrane for
the underground portion.
