ROOFING 



WINEtH. SURFACE- NEEDS HO PMHT1M 



MATITE roofs need no painting. The owner need never 



hem ; they take care of themselves. They are "no-trouble" roofs. 

 They present to the weather a real mineral surface against which storm 

 and wind and snow are absolutely powerless. This surface does not require 

 constant painting like the smooth surfaced or so-called "rubber" roofings. 

 The mineral surface is far better than paint. 



Of course, before Amatite came, the " smooth surfaced " roofings were the 



best kind to buy. Now that Amatite has been invented and thoroughly 



tested by years of use, painting a roof is wasteful and unnecessary. The 



cost of painting a "rubber" roofing from year to year will soon cost more 



than the roof itself. That is why everybody who knows about roofing 



is buying Amatite nowadays. It needs no painting. 



Amatite is easy to lay. Anyone can do the work. Large headed 

 nails and liquid cement come free with every roll. 



We shall take pleasure in sending you a sample of Amatite 

 with our compliments upon request. Address our nearest office.

What to Wear in the Garden 



USUALLY the one anxiety a woman has when 

 working in the garden is that she will get her 

 dress soiled — that is, if she is not properly dressed 

 for the work. The accompanying illustration shows 

 a most serviceable apron made of gingham so that 

 it can be easily and often washed. Make the apron

Keep your gown clean while working in the 

 garden by wearing a big apron made of some 

 ■washable material such as gingham 



long enough to reach to the bottom of the skirt 

 and, if necessary, it could have a bib to pin up over 

 the waist. 



Sleeves reaching from wrist to elbow might 

 also be made of the same material as the apron, 

 and will keep the sleeves of the dress from 

 getting mussed and soiled. Make the sleeves 

 with either elastic at both wrist and elbow; or 

 else finish off the wrist with a cuff having button 

 and buttonhole. 



Riding gloves with the long, gauntlet wrist are 

 of great service to the amateur gardener, for the 

 heavy kid with which these gloves are made pre- 

 vents the palms of the hands from becoming callous, 

 and the long wrist covers the lower part of the 

 sleeve. I always wear a pair of these gloves when 

 working in the garden, and for greater freedom 

 have cut off the fingers and thumbs.
