An Economical Roof Can Be Artistic 



YOU cannot improve upon a good shingle roof, but you 

 should as soon think of having it unstained as you would 

 think of leaving your house unpainted. You can save the 

 cost and muss of staining-on-the-job by using 



a 



CREO-DIPT" SftHSSS 



14 Grades, 16, 18, 24-inch. 25 Different Colors. 



They come in bundles, ready-to-lay — one even stain, per- 

 fectly dry, ready for the job. We preserve them in Creosote 

 against wet or dry-rot or worms. We use- only selected Red 

 Cedar shingles. You pay for no waste in either shingles or 

 stains. 



Most pleasing effects obtained by using one color on side walls and a 

 darker tone on roof. They are being used by architects, builders and 

 owners all over the country. 



Write us for catalog of CREO-DIPT houses and Pad of Colors on Wood. 



Send us the names of your Architect and Lumber Dealer. CREO- 

 DIPT Shingles last a lifetime and never need restaining.
