VALUE,
OF GOOD ROOFING

For many years the reputation Of
Ralph r. Reeder & Sons, roofers and
dealers in roof materials, has stead
lily grown and large number Of
better class homes bear silent testi-
mony to the splendid reputation -
that firm.
A thorough knowledge of the res
quirements for good roof materials
has been acquired by Reeder. He
has studied the effects Of weather
upon various materials and has
made careful Investigations OF
proper methods of laying roofing ma
terials to obtain the maximum re-
suits.
"Time-tests" have served to es-
tablish certain rules for proper roof
ing methods and materials. Science
has come to the fore and laboratory
tests have been made to determine
durability and dependability Of roof
ing materials.
The firm handles Mule-Hide roof
ing, one of the best manufactured
lines in the country. The extensive
use Of this high-grade roofing ma
terial has shown it to be warranted,
and a large number of new homes
and buildings have been completed
during the past years with the use
of it.
The firm has handled some of the
largest roofing contracts of the city.

HOME INSULATION
GROWING GENERAL

An increasing number of home
owners and prospective home-owners
are becoming acquainted with the
excellent qualities and many advant-
ages of F'laX-li-num as a modem, prac-
teal economical insulation for
houses, building product handled
exclusively in Indianapolis by Won.
negut Hardware Co.. 120-124 E.
Washington st.
Many ho-les were built when the
theory and science of insulation was
not understood as thoroughly as it
is today. In many modern houses,
FlaX-li-num has corrected shortcom-
ings of former years, insulating the
houses against the heat of summer
and the cold of winter, and giving
greater comfort and economy.
Although a house may be con-
structed already, the application of
inch layers of Flax-li-num to the
attic floor has been shown to reduce
the annual fuel cost. The installa-
ton is a simple and inexpensive
job. and when once installed the
highly efficient, heat-resisting mate
rial will prevent the heat which the
roof absorbs in summer from being
transmitted to the interior.
In winter the use of Flax-li-num
will prevent the heat. which costs
good money to provide, from leak
ing ont through the ceilings and
roof. Tests have shown that sixty.
two per cent of the heat loss in
house is through the top floor cell
ings and roofs.
Flax-l-num is provided in one-half
inch layers for use in sidewalks and
one inch layers for top floor ceilings
and roofs. 1t is a thick material OF
felted flax fibres, neither limp nor
board like, but semi-rigid, and easily
installed without danger of tearing,
breaking or puncturing.
