AN EXPERIENCE AT THE BELLE MEADE FARM 



THE Belle Meade Farm of Bedford, Mass., 

 is well known for its thoroughgoing 

 and scientific methods, and is a model in 

 many respects. Its big stables are all cov- 

 ered with Amatite Roofing. The owners 

 write us as follows : 



" It is now nearly three years since we put your 

 Amatite Roofing on our new 300 foot buildings. This 

 roofing is now in its third winter and has gone through 

 without a leak, and there is every indication that it will 

 be good for many years. The buildings with this light, 

 sparkling Roofing and the red trimmings as painted, 

 are very attractive in appearance, and altogether we 

 are much pleased with your Amatite Roofing. We 

 are contemplating the construction of some further 

 buildings for our Shetland Ponies, and mean to use 

 more of your roofing." 



If the Belle Meade farm people had chosen * 

 a "smooth surfaced" roofing it would have 

 cost them more in the beginning and the 

 difference would have become greater every 

 year. Those roofs were laid in 1905. in 



1907 they would have required a thorough 

 painting, which would have to be repeated 

 in 1909, and every two years thereafter. 



The Amatite however, has had no paint- 

 ing, and needs none. The mineral surface 

 takes care of that. When the roof finally 

 wears out and the owners of the Belle Meade 

 Farm compute the cost of their Amatite 

 Roofing they will put down "for the Amatite, 

 so many dollars ;" " for care of same, noth- 

 ing." If they had used a painted roofing 

 there would probably be several coats of 

 paint to figure on, besides the original cost 

 of the roofing, and the total would be several 

 times as much as Amatite. 



Let us send you. a free sample, together 

 with a booklet telling more about Amatite. 

 It will save you money later.
