  Tin 
  Has 
  Endured 
  on 
  This 
  

  

  House 
  for 
  44 
  Years 
  

  

  During 
  this 
  Period 
  Another 
  Part 
  of 
  the 
  Roof 
  Has 
  Been 
  Shingled 
  Three 
  Times. 
  

  

  T

  ERE 
  is 
  a 
  splendid 
  example 
  of 
  the 
  marked 
  superiority 
  of 
  good 
  tin 
  over 
  good 
  

   -*-

  shingles. 
  The 
  ell 
  of 
  this 
  old 
  house 
  was 
  roofed 
  with 
  our 
  "Target-and-Arrow" 
  

   tin 
  in 
  1863. 
  With 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  occasional 
  painting 
  it 
  has 
  never 
  required 
  

   attention. 
  Save 
  for 
  a 
  slight 
  mishap 
  it 
  has 
  not 
  leaked 
  a 
  drop 
  in 
  these 
  44 
  years 
  

   and 
  is 
  still 
  as 
  good 
  as 
  the 
  day 
  it 
  was 
  put 
  on. 
  

  

  Since 
  this 
  tin 
  was 
  laid, 
  however, 
  the 
  balance 
  of 
  the 
  roof 
  has 
  been 
  shingled 
  

   three 
  times 
  with 
  the 
  best 
  Eastern 
  cedar 
  shingles. 
  Each 
  time 
  the 
  shingling 
  was 
  

   done 
  the 
  tin 
  roof 
  was 
  tramped 
  over 
  and 
  otherwise 
  abused. 
  The 
  house 
  is 
  located 
  

   at 
  Newburyport, 
  Mass., 
  and 
  is 
  owned 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Charles 
  W. 
  Davis. 
  

  

  Architects, 
  prospective 
  builders 
  and 
  property 
  owners 
  desiring 
  a 
  roof 
  that 
  will 
  give 
  absolute 
  

   protection 
  and 
  will 
  outlive 
  all 
  other 
  forms 
  of 
  roofing 
  material 
  can 
  get 
  it 
  in 
  " 
  Target-and-Arrow 
  

   Old 
  Style 
  " 
  tin. 
  It 
  offers 
  the 
  same 
  durability 
  to-day 
  that 
  it 
  did 
  44 
  years 
  ago. 
  The 
  roofing 
  

   question 
  is 
  thoroughly 
  and 
  intelligently 
  discussed 
  in 
  our 
  booklet 
  "A 
  Guide 
  to 
  Good 
  Roofs." 
  

   We 
  send 
  it 
  free 
  to 
  anv 
  who 
  are 
  interested.
