you find it inconvenient to get it fixed before
it does more damage. Business men with
stored goods should be especially careful.
Leaks are not unusual even in new and ex-
pensive roofs. Any roofng-whether it be of
felt, rubber, asphalt, wood, tin or iron-leaks
sooner or later at the seams and nail-holes.
Roofing manufacturers, anticipating these
leaks, recommend coat of paint each year.
But this frequent painting is xpensive. 1t is
unnecessary also.
Modern roofs are good roofs. They per-
form their job of keeping out the weather
far more efficiently than their predecessors.
The wonder is that they don't last longer.
Perhaps the reason is that home-owners are
only now finding out how to get the most out
of them. Prominent builders say that in the
past, three out of four new roofs need not
have been put on; that the old roof could
easily have been repaired so that it would
last years longer. Today home-owners every

A coating of Stormtight frequently makes
roof even better-looking than it was before.
Storrntight is made in just the colors that are
considered best for roofs-maroon, light red,
and green 1t also comes in black, of course.
Thus Stormtight requires no painting. AS
matter of fact, it shouldn't be painted. You
need spend no money either identifying it or

leader boxes, cornices and all the other places
around a roof that need protection from the
elements-the brickwork around the base of
chimneys, the flashing around vent-pipes, etc.
AS Stormtight contains large amount of
asbestos fibre, it resists fire. Burning embers
dropped on Stormtight-covered roof go out
without hurting the roof.
If you have the least leak in your roof now,
you can save money by applying Stormtight
at once. When roof leaks in one place, it is
often a sign that the period of decay has set in.
That roof will soon develop more leaks until
at last you begin to figure on replacing it. A
coating of Stormtight, however, will stop the
present leaks and prevent any others. It will
preserve your roof for many years of addi-
tional service.
You may have felt roof or tin roof.
You may have roof of asphalt or one OF
rubber composition. 1t may even be CORFU
gated iron on your garage, and tar and gravel
on your house. But whatever roofing it is, a
coat of Stormtight will prevent the leaks that
are otherwise sure to come.
One reason for the great adaptability of
Stormtight is its adhesiveness. As F. P. A.
once remarked, 1T sticks tighter than Pull
man window" 1t sticks to anything wood,
metal, felt or slate. And it sticks whether the
surface is dry or wet.

where are learning to increase the life of their
roofs by applying Stormtight. They find that
Stormtight not only saves the roof but saves
them the cost of repainting it every year or two.
The cost of Stormtight is really very little.
The average roof contains from five TO ten
squares "a square is 100 square feet. Two
to three dollars worth of Stormtight covers
a square, so your roof can probably be made
leakproof at cost of from ten to twenty
five dollars. A small leak can sometimes DO
fired for as little as Twenty-Five cents, by the
use of a pound of Stormtight Plastic.
Stormtight is sold in one and five-gallon
cans and in 64-gallon drums. You can get it
at many good stores that sell paint, hard.
ware, or builders supplies, and some of the
readers OF this advertisement will get it. They
will act on what they have read. They will

q coat OF Stormtight to crack

coated with Stormtight can
be bent again and again and
the metal will crack before the
coating. The surface of Storm
tight cures hard, but under
meath the surface the coating
is as rubberlike and flexible
as the day after it was spread
on. Therefore, Stormtight ex-

sort of weather. 1t can begin prevent
ing leaks during the very season or
even on the very day when you realize
that leaks will be disastrous. Storm
tight sticks fast even to wet roof.
1t spreads easily on a cold one. On
days when the mercury airts with
zero you can break the ice from your
roof and proceed to make it leak-proof.
