'roofing PAINT 



DO YOU USE A ROOFING THAT 

 REQUIRES PAINTING AND COATING? 



If so, do you realize that the coating and painting will probably cost as much, if 

 not more, than the first cost of the roof itself ? 



When you buy a roofing that has to be coated, you must consider the cost of maintenance 



as well as the first cost. If you do this, you 

 will find that coated roofings cost you just 

 about twice the original cost. 



If you try to save money by not coating 

 such roofs they will soon leak and rot away. 

 The best way out of the difficulty is to 

 buy a roofing that requires no coating, such as Amatite. This Ready Roofing has a special 

 mineral surface which makes painting e7itirely unnecessary. The first cost of Amatite is the 

 whole cost. 



After it is once laid on the roof it costs you nothing to keep up. 



Furthermore, the price of Amatite in the first place is less than that of almost any 

 other ready roofing. It is by far the lowest priced of the good ready roofings. 



When you get prices don't forget to count in the cost of putting on paint every year, 

 and you will be sure to come back to Amatite as the cheapest and best. 



Let us send you at once a SAMPLE of AMATITE and a 

 Booklet of information about it. We want you to see how 

 much better it is than the kind that has to be painted.
