 So-Called "Rubber Roofings" 



There are countless substitutes for the genuine Ruberoid which are 

 advertised as " rubber roofings." Beware of them. For rubber in a 

 roofing would rot in a single summer. "Rubber roofing" is either a 

 fraud, on its face, because it contains no rubber; or it is a roofing so 

 poor as to be almost valueless. The genuine Ruberoid contains no riibber. 



Ruberoid roofing is waterproof, like rubber. 

 It is flexible, like rubber. But the resemblance 

 ends there. 



For, unlike rubber, it remaius waterproof and 

 flexible when exposed to the sun, the rain, the 

 heat, the cold, the air. 



Rubber rots after slight exposure. Ruberoid 

 retains its life and durability under the severest 

 weather conditions. 



Rubl)er decomposes rapidly under the action 

 of fumes and gases and acids, while Ruberoid 

 resists them. Ruberoid roofing has, in fact, 

 been used to line vats in which acids are kept. 



Ruberoid contains no nibber. It contains no 

 tar. It contains no asbestos. It is not an 

 asphalt roofing. 



Protection Against Fire 



Ruberoid is almost perfect protection against 

 fire. Hot coals thrown on a Ruberoid roof will 

 set fire neither to the roofing nor to tlie sheath- 

 ing underneath. 



Ruljeroid is tasteless. It 

 is odorless. It can be used 

 on roofs from which drink- 

 ing water is gathered.

 wonderful properties
