Paint! Paint! Paint! 

 LeaH! Leah! LeaK! 



There is no reason why in the world you should buy a 

 roof that needs painting. 

 The need of painting is proof of weakness. It is not the roof that 

 protects it's the paint. If you forget to put the paint on, or for eco- 

 nomical reasons omit doing so, you have a leaky roof; and a leaky 

 roof is always an abomination. 



Amatite roofing requires absolutely no painting or coating of any 

 kind during its life. This diagram below tells you why.

You will notice that the top layer consists of a genuine mineral sur- 

 face that will last long as the roof, and not only makes painting un- 

 necessary, but gives an amount of durability that is remarkable. It 

 saves you the cost of paint and the labor of putting it on. 



If you want the best, most economical and satisfactory ready roofing 

 made, remember Amatite.

T l£ ECONOMY JAR 



OJVLV JA*R THAT SEALS *By SVCTIOJV 



All other jars only fasten, clamp, snap or screw, and are held closed only by a mechanical 

 device, which loosens as the rubber ring decays or gets old. The Economy is sealed air- 

 tight by suction from within, and stays sealed forever. 

 Other jars are imitating the Economy's outside 

 appearance and claiming to possess its sealing qualities, 

 but none of them are sealed fast by suction as is the 

 Economy. The Economy is the only jar that has

ber ring, which in time leaks air and taints and spoils the 



contents. The Economy is the only jar that will keep 



forever vegetables.meats, game, fish and unsweetened fruits. 



Put up your fruits and vegetables with their fresh, natural flavor. Sugar is not needed. 



Write and learn about this wonderful glass jar, which saves sugar and drudgery and makes 



easy the home canning of meats, vegetables and all other foodstuffs. No other jar can do this.
