HE more carefully you 
of Ready Roofings the 
convinced of the great 
AMATITE. 
The average buyer sends to a few advertisers for 
ONE OF THE BELLEMEADE FARM BUILDINGS ROOFED WITH AMATITE 
samples, picks out one that looks tough, and sends 
in his order to the: nearest dealer. 
If the dealer doesn’t keep the kind selected, some 
other kind which he has is generally bought instead. 
_That is a good way to get a leaky roof. 
The careful buyer is more particular. He knows 
that any roofing will last for a little while without 
attention, but he wants to postpone the time and 
cost of renewal as long as pesulsice 
He is figuring next year’s cost as well as this 
year’s cost. He thinks of the money he _ will 
have to spend after a few years for a new roof if this 
one won’t last any longer. If he can get a better 
Toofing at equal cost that will last longer, he is so 
much the gainer. 
That kind of calculation is called thrift. The 
thrifty buyer sees important differences between 
AMATITE and the other roofings. 
The other roofings either require a coating with 
a special liquid every year or two, or periodical paint- 
ing. Right there is a future expense to be counted 
by the thrifty buyer. His judgment swings toward 
AMATITE, because it needs no painting either at 
A Roof that Really Protects 
study the subject 
more you will be 
superiority of 
the time it is laid or afterw ard. Once itis on you 
have no further bother or expense, 
Then again, AMATITE has wonderful dura- 
bility: — 
First, because it has a mineral surface. Doesn’t 
_ it seem reasonable to 
2 believe that a top 
2 covering of crushed 
4 stone will resist tie 
3 wear of storms better 
2 than a roofing witha 
: smooth or unpro- 
* tected surface ? 
Second, it con- 
tains solid layers of 
Coal Tar Pitch— 
_ the material which is 
; used by the best 
= engineers for water- 
proofing deep cel- 
lars, tunnels, ete. 
Doesn’t it seem 
reasonable to sup- 
pose that this offers 
better protection 
against water than 
materials which are 
never used for such 
severe service ? 
One more argu- Sy 
ment. Weight for g 
weight. AMA - 
TITE is the lowest 
in price of any 
mineral surfaced 
Ready Roofing. 
These, then, are 
some of the reasons 
why thrifty people buy AMATITE—It _ costs 
nothing to maintain, it has remarkable durability, 
and its first cost is very low. 
The experience of careful purchasers with 
AMATITE iis illustrated by the following letter 
from Bellemeade Farm: 
BELLEMEADE FARM 
BEDFORD, Mass. 
March 7, 1908. 
Gentlemen:—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 con- 
templating the construction of some further buildings for 
our Shetland ponies, and mean to use more of your 
Roofing. 
Yours Truly, S$. B. Erxiotr, M. D.
