The Question of Roofing. 



The question of roofing is becoming a more serious 

 one year after year as shingles become poorer and 

 higher priced. Even when good shingles are obtain- 

 able, the ordinary wire nails used with them last but a 

 few years, and a new roof often becomes necessary 

 while the shingles are yet good. Happily, however, the 

 problem has been solved in a thoroughly practical and 

 economical manner by Paroid Roofing, a durable felt 

 roofing that is used by leading farmers, poultrymt n, 

 and dairymen the country over, as well as by railroad 

 companies, warehousemen, and others who want a good 

 durable roof at low cost. Paroid is now used by the 

 United States Department of Agriculture in its con- 

 struction work, and has also been adopted by the Pan- 

 ama Commission for use on all government buildings 

 erected in the trying climate of the Isthmus. The Gov- 

 ernment adopted it only after trying its superiority for 

 the purpose. Every reader of this paper should send 

 for the Paroid booklet and a free sample. It will give 

 you valuable pointers of economical building. Address
