The Building Roofed With 

 4rRuberoid Did Not Burns„«^ 



In Netcong, N. J., a livery stable roofed with Ruberoid stood within 

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

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

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



We do not claim that Ri;beroid is fireproof. 

 If the house burns from wiihin, the roof will 

 l)e destroyed whether it be of Ruberoid, of 

 slate, or even of iron. 



But a roof of Ruberoid is as safe from fire 

 fro)>t without 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-resisting qualities are of minor 

 importance, when you consider the otlier 

 superiorities of Ruberoid. 



h'or here is a roofing which is sun proof, 

 snow proof, rain proof. It withstands aciii-^, 

 gases and funics. It is so flexible that it stands 

 the strains of contraction and expansion which 

 cause ordinary roofs to leak. 



Only One Ruberoid 



Since Ruberoid was invented, nearly twenty 

 years ago, there have been 

 many substitutes — more 

 than 300. 



Many of these siabsti- 

 tutes have names which 

 sound \i\^ft Ruljeroid. And 

 xmtil they are laid and 

 tested, they look like 

 Ruberoid. But do not let 

 these 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. 1 1 also 

 comes in attractive colors — red, green, brown 

 — suitable for the finest homes. 



These color roofings are made under our 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.
