The most aitistic and durable color effects on shingles 

 are produced with Shingletint, which is a scientific com- 

 bination of linseed oil, coloring matter, creosote and 

 the necessary drying agents. 



Among the many shingle stains offers I Shingletint is 

 conspicuous not only for its superiority but because it 

 can be called for by its distinctive name, thus offering 

 the consumer protection against inferior goods offered 

 for the same purpose. 



When buying Shingle Stains it will be worth while to 

 ignore the "just as good " argument and insist upon 

 Shingietint.
