This is the Age of the 



METAL SHINGLE 



Painted Tin. Galvanized 

 Tin, Copper, etc. 



Inflammable wood shingles, heavy slate, brittle tile 

 and unsightly paper or tar have seen their day. 



The NEW CENTURY METAL SHINGLES are fire-proof, are 

 light, are unbreakable, are artistic, are handsomely em- 

 bossed, lock perfect and patented. 

 And then figure on this — that they are cheaper than wood, cheaper than any- 

 thing when you figure all the saving points involved, cost of insurance, etc.

 comparative cost, estimates, designs, etc.
