Patent Slate Paint. 



(Fifteen Years Established ) 

 MIXED READY FOR USE. 

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

 nomical and Ornamental. 



A roof may he covered with a very cheap shingle, 

 and by application of this slate 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 of Re-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 l>y cold, never cracks nor scales. 

 Roofs covered with Tar Sueatliing Felt can ne mad^ 

 water-tight at a small expense, aud preserved for 

 many years. 

 This Slate Paint is 



EXTREMELY G*HEAP. 

 Two gallons will cover a hundred square feet of shin- 

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

 any smooth surface, fiom two quarts to one gallon 

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

 though ibe paint has a heavy body it is easily applied 

 with a brush. m 



No Tar is Used in this Composition 



therefore it neither cracks in winter, nor runs in 

 summer. , _, 



On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and pores, 

 and given a new substantial roof that will last for 

 years Curbed or warped shingles it brings to their 

 "places ami keeps thuja there. It fills up all holes in 

 felt roofs, stops trie leaks, and although a slow dryer, 

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

 As nearly ail paints that are black contain 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 ^ Ro()Fg 



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

 to five of any ordiuary paint. For 



BRICK WALLM 

 Octr bright red is the only reliable Slate Paint ever 

 introduced that will effectually prevent dampness 

 from penetrating and discoloring the plaster. 



These paints are also largely used on outhouses 

 and fencas. or as a priming coat on fine buildings. 



Our only colors are Chocolate, Red, Bright Red
