RU-BER-OID ROOFING 



Is the peer of any composition roofing made. 



It has a proud record of service, covering more than a quarter of 



a century. 



On many a roof the limit of its endurance has not yet been found 

 after more than twenty years of duty. 



Inborn quality, from the surface to the centre, is what gives RU- 

 BER-OID its character.

We would suggest you consider this, for your own benefit, when planning 

 to purchase a roof covering for that new or old building.

In natural reproduction and rapid 

 growth, the coast o£ British Cokimbia 

 is peculiarly fortunate, thanks to her 

 moist climate and mild winter. It is 

 estimated that we have 97,000 square 

 miles of productive forest land and that 

 on most of that area young timber is 

 growing- after previous destruction of 

 the crop by fire and logging. While it 

 is true that much of this young forest is 

 at some distance from present means of 

 operation, by the time it has reached ma- 

 turity distances will have been shortened, 

 as they are being steadily shortened year 

 by year. The important point is that the 

 timber is there, while it is equally im- 

 portant that it should remain there. 



1,000 MILES OF FOREST PER 

 ANNUM. 



The newspapers of the United States 

 ^nd Canada consume 2,150,000 tons of 

 rewsprint annually. Stated in this way, 

 it probably conveys little information to 



>ou respecting the effect upon our 

 forests. You will better appreciate the 

 situation when I say that it represents 

 the denudation of the mature trees on 

 an area of 1,000 square miles of forest 

 land each and every year. This will give 

 you an idea of the enormous inroads 

 that newsprint manufacture is making 

 upon the forests of North America. — 

 James White in address to the Vancou- 

 ver Rotary Club. 



Shade Tree Planting 

 (Parry Sound Star) 

 Several gentlemen interested in the 

 beautifying of our town, held a bee 

 on Tuesday of this week, and plant- 

 ed about 18 trees. The w^ork was 

 well handled and there is no doubt 

 but that the large majority of these 

 will mature. The trees were kindly 

 donated by Mr. John Argue and 

 taken from his property. This is go- 

 ahead business.
