Paroid 



Roofing- 

 Read This Trial Oiler on 



ttie Roofing That Lasts 

 the Longest. 



Here's Our Offer 



PAROID is the best ready roofing ever made. You 

 can prove it to your own satisfaction from a 

 sample, but a better way is to use it. All we ask is 

 that you try it, and we make the way easy. 



Is there any offer we could make fairer than that. 

 Could we afford to make such an offer if we were 

 not sure that Paroid is better than other ready roofings? 

 It is better; we are sure, and this is why: 



B 



UY one lot of 

 Paroid ; open 

 it; Inspect it; 

 apply it to your 

 roof, and if then you 

 are not satisfied that 

 you have the best 

 ready roofing made, 

 send us your name and 

 address, and we will 

 send you a check for 

 the full cost of the 

 roofing, including the 

 cost of applying it. 



Four things enter into the mak- 

 ing: of a good roofing: 



The felt; tlie saturation; the 

 coathuj ;and the methorl oflauinq. 



Paroid excels on all four points. 

 « * « 



The /eii is the foundation, if it 

 is not right to start with, no treat- 

 ment of any kind can make it into 

 a good roofing. 



We know that our felt is right 

 because we make it in our own 

 mills (established in 1817.) 



We rnaUe it because we cannot 

 buy a felt elsewhere good enough 

 for Paroid. 



Other manufacturers who buy 

 their felt in the open market — 

 wher-ver they cin get it cheapest 

 — necessarily take big chances at 

 the very start. 



We couldn't give you the money- 

 back f»uaranty we do if we did 

 not make the complete roofing 

 under our direct supervision. 



« 4: .1: 



Paroid roofing is not merely 

 dipped in a solution, but is snaked 

 in a water proofing mixture of 

 our own, which renders every 

 fibre of it— through and through— 

 absolutely water proof. 

 * * * 



And then the coating. Paroid 

 is coated on both sides with a 

 smoother, thicker^ tougher and 

 more flexible coating than is on 

 any other roofing made. 



There is no room for doubt 

 about it. You ne^d not take our 

 word for it. Us.^ your own judg- 

 ment. Compare Paroid with other 

 kinds. You will find that Paroid 

 is the only roofing that doesn't 



break wnen you give it a short 

 bend. If you can /reeze the vari- 

 ous samples you'll have a still bet- 

 ter test, and you'll find Paroid the 

 only flexible roof in a zero tem- 

 perature, while others crack Uke 

 an icicle. ^ , ^ 



But even the best roofing must 

 he jyroperly applied. 



In every roll of Paroid you will 

 find a complete roofing kit, with a 

 supply of square, rust-proof, 

 waterproof caps. The only rust- 

 proof cap made. 



TUese caps are patented. You 

 get them only with Paroid. 



Being square, they give you 

 larger binding surface and so 

 hold the roof more securely. 



Being water-proofed on both 

 sides, they do not rust and work 

 loof<e and cause a leak, as all other 

 taps do, sooner or later. 



And when the roof is laid, you 

 nOt only have a good and durable. 



but you have a sightly roof, its 

 smooth, uniform surface, makes 

 it the best iu appearance of all 

 ready roofings. 



* * * 

 And there you are: 



The best felt lor a foundation; 



The best and most tliorough 

 water proofing saturation ; 



The best and most flexible coat- 

 ing; 



The most sightly ready roofing 

 made; 



And a positive money-back 

 guaranty. 



Will you try it on these terms? 



* * * 



They are some of the reasons 

 why Paroid has stood the test of 

 time for the United States Govern- 

 ment, for railway, factory, farm 

 and poultry buildings. 



It lasts longest. It gives best 

 service. And we stand back of it. 



May we send you samples and 

 prices?
