Why Gordon.Van Tine Roofing Lasts 

 So Long 



Gordon.Van Tine Flint- 

 Coated Roofing is made from 

 long-fibre wool felt, and is 

 soaked, mind you, in hot Bs- 



Ehalt at a temperature twice as 

 ot as boiling water. 

 This excessive heat separates 

 the pores of the wool felt, and 

 the torridly hot asphalt runs 

 into these pores and fills them 

 so completely that no liquid 

 can ever pass through the ma- 

 terial when it cools and the 

 pores have closed. Then, with 

 heavy modern machinery, this 

 roofing is permanently coated 

 with flint, so that the natural 

 wool fibre soaked in asphalt can 

 never crack, bake, rust or burn. 

 Reail our personal gruarantee 

 backed by $300,000. 



As Easy to Lay as a 

 Carpet 



All you need to lay this roof, 

 ing with is a hammer. Remem- 

 ber, we furnish FREE with 

 every roll of roofing plenty of good cement and plenty 

 of long, non-rusting nails. 



We tell you just how to lay your roofing around 

 chimneys, how to make valleys, flashings, etc. The 

 work is so simple and easy that it is no trouble to lay 

 Gordon.Van Tine Roofing so that it will not leak, 

 become wrinkled or get loose. 



Gordon, Van Tine Roofing Never Has to 

 be Reflinted or Regraveled 



Ordinary roofing— the kind that many local dealers 

 sell— usually has to be resanded or regraveled after 

 a short exposure to heat and rain — but Gordon. Van 

 Tine's Flint-Coated Roofing is so thoroughly flinted 

 by heavy pressure machinery that you never have to 

 re-cover it.
