Patent Slate Paint. 



(Fifteen Years Established.) 

 MIXED READY FOR USE. 



Fire-proof, Water-proof, Durable, Eco- 

 nomical aud Ornamental. 



A roof may he covered with a Very cheap shiurjle, 

 and by application of this state made to last from 20 

 to 25 years. Old roofs can be patched and coated, 

 looking much better, and lasting longer than new 

 shingles without the slate, for 



One-third the Cost Ee-shingling. 



The expense of slating new shingles is only about 

 the cost of simply laying them. The paint is fire- 

 proof against, sparks or flying embers, as may be 

 easily tested by anyone. 



It Stops Every Leak, 



and for tin or iron has no equal, as it expands by 

 heat, contracts by cold, never cracks nor scales. 

 Roofs covered with Tar Sheathing Felt can be made 

 water-tight at a small expense, and preserved for 

 many years. 

 This Slate Paint Ib 



EXTREMELY CHEAP. 

 Two gallons will cover a hundred square feet of shin- 

 gle roof, while on tin, iron, felt, matched boards, or 

 any smooth surface, from two quarts to one gallon 

 are required to 100 .quare feet of surface, and al- 

 though the paint has a heavy body it is easily applied 

 with a brush. 



No Tar is Used in this Composition 



therefore it neither cracks in winter, nor runs in. 



On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and pores, 

 and gives a new substantial roof that will last for 

 years. CtJKLEDon warped shingles it brings to their 

 (•laces, and keeps them there. It Alls up all holes iu 

 Telt roofs, slops the leaks, and although a slow dryer, 

 rain does not affect it in a few hours after applying. 

 As nearly all paints that are black coutalu tar, be 

 sure you obtain our genuine article, which, for shin- 

 gle roofs, is 



CHOCOLATE COLOR, 

 when first applied, changing in about a month to a 

 uniform slate color, and is, to all intents and purpo- 

 ses, slate On 



TIM ROOFS 

 our red color is usually preferred, as one coat is eqnal 

 to five of any ordinary paint. For 



BRICK. WALLS 

 Our bbiobt red is the only reliable Slate Paiut ever 

 introduced that will effectually prevent dampness 

 from penetrating and discoloring the plaster. 



These paints are also largely osed ou oiit-houscs 

 and fences, or as a priming coat on ttnB buildings. 



Our only colors are Chocolate, Red, Bright Red 

 and Orange.
