PROTECT YOUR BUILDINGS. 



Which may be done with one fourth the usual 

 expense, by using our 



PATENT SLATE PAINT 



(Fifteen Years Established.) 



MIXED READY FOR USE. 



Fire-proof, Water-proof, Durable, 

 Econoraical and Ornamental. 



A roof may be covered with a verj- cheap shingle, and by appli- 

 cation of this slate be made to last from 20 to 25 years. Did 

 roofs can be patched and coated, looking much better and lasting 

 longer than new shingles without the slate, for 



One-third the Co.st of Re-shingling. 



The expense of slating new shingles is only about the cost of 

 simply laying them. The paint is fireproof against sparks or 

 flying embers, as may be easily tested by any one. 



IT STOPS EVEKY LEAK, 



and for tin or iron has no equal, as it expands by heat, contracts by 

 cold, and never cracks nor scales. Roofs covered with Tar 

 Sheathing Felt can be made water-tight at a small expense, and 

 preserved for many years. 



This Slate Paint is 



EXTBEMEIiY CHEAP. 

 Two gallons will cover a nundred square feet of shingle roof, while 

 on tin, iron, felt, matched boards, or any smooth surface, from two 

 quarts to one gallon are required to 100 square feet ot surface, and 

 although the paint has a heavy body it is easily applied with a brush. 



No Tar is used in this Composition, 

 therefore it neitker cracks in Winter, nor runs in Summer. 



On decayed shingles, it fills up the holes and pores, and gives a 

 new substantial roof that will last for years. Curled or 

 WARPED shingles it brings to their places, and keeps them there. It 

 fills up all holes in felt roofs, stops the leaks — and although a 

 slowdryer, rain does not aflfect it a few hours afttr applying. As 

 nearly all paints that are black contain tar, be sure you obtain our 

 genuine article, which (for shingle roofs) is 



CHOCOLATE COLOK, 



when first applied, changing in about a month to a unifoim slate 

 color, and is, to all intents and purposes slate. On 



TIN KOOFS 



our red color is usually preferred, as one coat is equal to five of 

 any ordinary paint. For 



BKICK STALLS 

 Our bRiGHT red is the only reliable Slate Paint ever introduced 

 that will effectually prevent dampness from penetrating and discolor- 

 ing the plaster. 



These paints are also largely used on cut houses and fences, or as 

 a priming coat on fine buildings. 



Our only colors are Chocolate, Red, Bright Red, and 

 Orange. ,
