Thirty-Year-Old Taylor Old

This is a picture of the Tremont Hotel, of Houston, Texas, as it is 
to-day. The original building was built in 1873. At that time the build- 
ing was roofed with ‘‘Taylor Old Style’’ roofing tin. In 1903, when 
they came to tear down the old building to erect a new one, O. H. & P. 
Rudisill, the architects, found the ‘‘ Old Style ’’ tin on the old building 
in such perfect condition that the old tin was taken off and relaid on the 
new building. The tin is to-day in as perfect condition as it was thirty- 
three years ago. 
We have in our possession a piece of our tin taken from a residence 
at Edgewater Park, N. J., put on in 1855, in active service for thirty- 
five years and never painted but once. The sample is just as good 
to-day as 1t was when put on. ‘This sample and all the evidence can be 
shown to any one who wishes proof as to the durability of °° Taylor 
Old Style’’ tin. 
We want every man who is interested in the roofing of any building, public or private, factory, train 
sheds, or office building, to know the facts about “Taylor Old Style’’ tin. If you are investing money in a 
building which may be jeopardized by a bad roof, write for “‘A Guide to Good Roofs’’ and other literature 
about “* Taylor Old Style’’ tin.
