 buildings warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It is not aftected by acids, alkali, or gases. It has a rubbery sur- 

 face, and on this account we call it " RUBBERIZED CALVO ROOFING." It does not contain coal tar, resldium, nor any

 require a coating after it is on thn roof. It toughens and hardens with age. About a year after laying it we would 

 recommend that you give It a coat of mineral paint, and every few years repeat the operation. We furnish with each 

 order sufficient cement to make the laps, besides nails and caps to put it on. Any one with an ordinary hammer can lay 

 this roofing. You can j)ut it on over shingles without removing same. It is scientifically manufactured to take care of
