We Are the First! 



Yes, we are the first of the manufacturers of Terne Plates to suggest and 

 adopt the plan of stamping the amount of coating carried by our brands of 

 Roofing Tin, and of stamping all wasters as such. 



This is the 'square deal" which all Jobbers, Architects, Roofers and 

 Property Owners have needed for so long — and already the move has shown a 

 good effect. 



In future, don't merely specify American Ternes, American Extra, American Special, 

 American Old Style A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, MF, or U. S. Eagle New Method— hut examine the 

 boxes when these arrive and see that the contents indicate exactly what you purchased. If the 

 sheet isn't stamped with the coating, look along the edge for the mark "Waster." 



If you'll use these precautions you'll find Roofing Tin to be the most satisfactory roof 

 covering you can use — but you can't expect an 8-lb. Terne to do the work of the old time or 

 present day 30 to 40-lb. coated plates. 



Send for our booklet "From Underfoot to Overhead" if you would know how a high grade Terne Plate 

 is made, and use MF Roofing Tin, "The Terne which turns the elements," if you want the best Roofing 

 Tin that can be made.

Colonial Houses 



FOR MODERN HOMES 



A collection of designs of Houses with Colonial 

 (Georgian) details but arranged with modern com- 

 forts and with the completeness of the twentieth 

 century. 



Written and Illustrated by 

 E. S. CHILD, Architect 



They show large, correctly drawn perspectives, 

 full floor plans, and complete descriptions, with 

 estimates of cost. The designs are new, original, 

 unique, consistent, but not stiff nor constrained. 

 Made, not by an artist, but by an architect. They 

 combine beauty of exterior with complete and 

 convenient interiors, with Kitchens, Laundries, 

 Pantries and Closets carefully and skilfully con- 

 sidered. 



If you are at all interested in the subject, you 

 will enjoy this publication.
