PROTECT YOUR BUILDINGS. 



Which may he done with one-fourth the usual ex- 

 pense, bg using our 



Patent Slate Paint. 



(Fifteen Years Established.) 



MIXED READY FOB USE. 

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

 nomical and Ornamental. 



A roof may be 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 mrb- 

 pboof against sparks or flying embers, aa 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 he made 

 water-tight at a small expense, and preserved for 

 many years . 

 This Slate Paint is 



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 oue gallon 

 are required to 100 square 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 

 summer. 



On decayed shingles it flits up the holes and pores, 

 and gives a new substantial roof that will last for 

 years. Curled or warped shingles it brings to their 

 places, and keeps them there. It Alls up all holes in 

 felt roofs, stop- the leaks, and although a slow dryer, 

 rain does not affect it in a few hoais Ttfter applying. 

 As nearly all paints that are black contain tab, 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 



TIN ROOFS 



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

 to five of any ordinary paint. For 



BRICK WALLS 

 Our 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 fences, or as a priming coat on tine buildings. 



Our only colors are Chocolate, Red, BaieHr Red 

 and Orange.
