The Evil Wooden shingle

Shingle roofs in combination with
chimneys, are held responsible for
over 20 per cent Of the dwelling
house losses by fire.
The modern shingle is thin, and
the machinery which now makes it
leaves fuzzy surface which, after
a period of drouth, becomes like tim
der. II is little wonder that very
small spark will set such a roof on
fire. To such roofs is due largely
the heavy loss from Fourth of July
fire works.
A fire resistive shingle may burn
when exposed to severe heat, but
sparks and flying embers have no
effect on them. For this reason,
any roof is safer than a wooden
single roof
Pullman witnessed a spectacular
fire when the chop mill burned on
March cath last. The wind carried
a stream of sparks for several thou
sand feet through the air. Wooden
shingles were largely responsible for
those sparks and flying embers.
At the time of the conflagration
at Salem, Mass, burning shingles
were carried by the wind for a dis
lance of over mile.
We lock up our valuable papers in
a fire-proof vault, and house our
families in wooden box with tin
der roof. Evidently our families
are of secondary consideration Not
satisfied with that, the school chill
dren are housed daily in building
of similar flimsy construction
To the contractor building entire
ly to SELL possibly the modern wood
en- single has an advantage. It is
cheap, easy to apply and looks pass
ably well. To the man building
home, the wooden shingle hasn't
single talking point. At slight in
creased cost, a fire resistive shing1e
can be applied that will offer better
protection, last longer and look just
as good as any wooden shingle. The
H. w Jones' anville Co. manufac-
lures an asbestos single, the first
cost of which is about five times that
of a cedar shingle. The asbestos
single, however, has an unlimited
life, is absolutely fire proof and will
materially reduce the insurance rate
on the house Why cover a large
fine home with the same material
YOU would use on a cheap COW shed?
1t seems inconsistent to say the
least
A number of fire resistive paints
and stains have been placed on the
market. So far, none have proven
entirely satisfactory However. any
stain will keep the single in a better
state of preservation and partially
prevent the forming of the fuzzy
surface.
Modern cities interested in fire
prevention are eliminating the wood
en- shingle as first precaution Not
only in the business district. but in
side the corporate limits. A few
fire resistive buildings offer no bar
rier to a conflagration when the ma
jority of the buildings are frame
with single roofs
Unfortunately, it usually requires
"A serious conflagration in commun-
ity to awaken the local public to the
necessity of eliminating single
roofs.
One serious fire at a time is about
all the average fire department can
cope with. In the case OF several
fires breaking out in Pullman, what
would happen? With our made

period of last year. This is an increase of ap-
proximately 100 per cent.

We believe that the confidence of the buying

ported by the quality and value of our pro
ducts, and these we shall uphold
We expect that as consequence the present
economical and efficient production basis can

An Announcement by
The Studebaker Corporation
of America

Eight months ago, when the costs of material
and labor appeared to have reached their peak,
we made substantial reductions in the prices
of Studebaker cars, These reductions were in
anticipation of our ability, after the turn of
the year, to purchase materials and to fabricate
them at lower costs.
The expected savings have been realized
With them, other savings have been made
as result of the greatly increased volume
which Studebaker has this year enjoyed
During the first five months of 1921, our vol
ume of business has exceeded that of any other
automobile manufacturer except Ford
The Studebaker plants running at capac-
ity with untitled orders on hand for over 1000
cars.
