\THE TRIM DAD- LAKE -ASPH/ 



Ready Roo/ii 



Trinidad Lake 

 asphalt is what makes 

 roofing last. 



Man has never beeo 

 able to produce its 

 equal any more than 

 he has succeeded in 

 m aking a real dia- 

 mond. 



This natural as- 

 phalt contains nat- 

 ural oils which stay 

 in the roofing, and 

 give it life to resist 

 rain, sun, wind, heat, 

 and cold— and it does 

 not crack or leak 



Genasco is the roofing for all your 

 buildings. It has different surfaces — 

 mineral or smooth. Comes in rolls. 

 Ready and easy for anyone to lay. 

 Ask your dealer for Genasco. Write 

 for samples and the valuable Good 

 Roof Guide Book — free. 



The Kant-leak Kleet, for smooth- 

 surface roofings, prevents nail-leaks 

 and securely waterproofs the seams 

 without cement

WHO SAID ALL 

 THIS ABOUT 



''THE 



WOOD 



ETERNAL' 



CYPRESS? 



"THE 

 WOOD 



ETERNAL' 



( Here's a part of the good things they said: ) 



"CYPRESS is put to almost every use as an interior trim for 



houses natural color or stained contains little resin thus affords 



a GOOD SURFACE FOR PAINT, WHICH IT HOLDS WELL 



popular for kitchens, where it is subjected to dampness and heat 



shrinks, swells or warps but little For the parts of houses exposed to the weather 



it serves equally well. AS SIDING IT PRACTICALLY WEARS OUT BEFORE 



IT DECAYS made into porch columns it retains its shape, holds paint, and has 



sufficient strength It is placed as cornice, gutters, blinds and railing, and is 



much used for Porch Floors and steps Much CYPRESS lumber is employed in the 



construction of SILOS The FARMER puts the wood to many uses ITS LAST- 

 ING PROPERTIES FIT IT WELL for curbs Resistance to decay fits it for 



stable floors and timbers near the ground, as well as for gates, and especially for 



fence posts one of the best available woods for picket fences, because it shows 



paint well and holds it for many years, but lasts a long time without it widely used 



for this purpose in regions remote from its range It is PRE-EMINENTLY 



FITTED for {greenhouse construction) where it is called upon to resist dampness, 



excessive heat, and all the elements that hasten decay sash, frames, benches, boxes, 



and practically all else the builder needs Agricultural implement manufac- 

 turers make seed boxes of it, wagon makers for beds carriage builders and 



automobile makers work it into panels for fine bodies Its slight tendency to warp 



has caused its employment for incubators freight-car siding many builders of 



gasoline launches are said to be using Cypress exclusively for hull planking makes 



handsome church pews Telephone boxes and switchboards of CYPRESS are 



coming into use spools beehives; seine floats; tables curtain poles; 



patterns; shelving and counter tops; shims; tool boxes. CYPRESS 



has been substituted for white oak for wine barrels The same freedom from taste 



is claimed for it by pump makers, who recommend it for that reason," (etc.)

THE BEST FARM LOCATIONS 



Productive lands, favorable climate, and abundant rainfall make farm locations in the South- 

 east the most profitable. 



Land from $10 to $50 an acre close to the best markets. Wheat, corn, hay, all truck crops, 

 give best returns. Conditions unsurpassed for dairying- and live stock, hog" and poultry rais- 

 ing 1 . Beef and pork produced at 3 to 4 cents a pound. 



Five to six crops of alfalfa per season grown. Good farmers make GO to 100 bushels corn 

 per acre. Home markets near at hand pay highest prices for dairy products and demand is 

 undersupplied. Apple orchards pay $100 to $500 an acre, and orchard lands cost only a frac- 

 tion of those in other sections. 



The Southeast Has Locations For Every Kind of Farming 



The climate assures the finest results from intelligent agriculture, and makes the region un- 

 surpassed as a pleasant and healthful home location. It is an open winter country, and its 

 summers are enjoyable. You can locate where there are grood schools, churches, roads, rural 

 delivery, and all other advantages. The Southern Railway and associated lines will help you 

 find the location you desire. Our several publications, free on application, grive full informa-
