 CAUOHT FIRE. 



M 



111 Netcong, N. J., a livery stable roofed with Riiberoid stood within 

 ten feet of a factory which burned to the ground. Behind and alongside 

 this roof of Riiberoid, were shingle roofs which ignited. The Ruberoid 

 roof was literally covered with blazing fragments. But it did not burn. 



We do not claim that Rnberoid is fireproof. 

 If the house burns from 'ivithin., the roof will 

 lie destroyed whether it be of Ruberoid, of 

 slate, or even of iron. 



But a roof of Ruberoid is as safe from fire 

 from zcillioitt as any roof can be. You can 

 safely throw burning coals on a Ruberoid roof. 

 The coals will not set fire to the Ruberoid, nor 

 to the timbers underneath. 



Yet its fire-resistin<r qualities are of minor 

 importance, when you consider the other 

 >ui)eriorities of Ruberoid. 



I'^or here is a roofing which is sun proof, 

 snow proof, rain proof. It withstands acids, 

 ;,'ases and fumes. It is so flexible that it stands 

 the strains of contraction and expansion which 

 cause ordinary roofs to leak. 



Only One Ruberoid 



Since Rul)eroi<l was invented 

 years ago, there have been 

 many suljstitutes — more 

 than ?,m. 



Many of these substi- 

 tutes have names which 

 sotindWVf Rul)eroid. And 

 until tliey are laid and 

 tested, they look like 

 Ruberoid. But do not let 

 tliese facts deceive you.

Ruberoid lies in the Ruberoid gum which we 

 use. No other maker can use this gum. No 

 other roofing can possibly be so good as Ru- 

 beroid. 



Ruberoid roofing can be laid by anyone. 

 Once on, it is practically a one-piece roof. It also 

 comes in attractive colors — red, green, brown 

 — stiitable for the finest homes. 



These color roofings are made under otir ex- 

 clusively owned United States and foreign pat- 

 ents. The colors can never wear off nor fade, 

 because they are a part of the roofing.
