Another Convincing 

 Instance of the Durability 

 of Old-Time Hand-Dipped Tin 



THESE are the Stockton Surf Baths at Cape May, N. J., which, as the 

 picture shows, are roofed throughout with tin. Being right on the ocean, 

 the roofs are continually exposed to the salt air and spray from the sea. During 

 the summer months bathing suits are hung above them to dry, the salt water 

 from the suits dripping directly upon the tin. 



The tin on these roofs was laid 27 years ago, and, notwithstanding the 

 unusually severe conditions of exposure, is still in perfect condition. The tin 

 is painted every three or four years. Outside of this the tin has required no 

 attention or repairs whatever. 



The Stockton Hotel, shown in the background, also has a roof of this same 

 old-time, heavy-coated tin which has been giving service for over 20 years. 



Prospective builders, and owners of buildings with unsatisfactory, trouble- 

 giving roofs should know that we offer to-day, in our '' Target-and- Arrow " 

 Old Style brand, tins same old-time, hand-dipped, heavily-coated tin, which 

 we have been selling for sixty years. 





Write for free booklet, "A Guide to Good Roofs." It tells why ' Target- 

 and-Arrow " Old Style tin (formerly called "Taylor Old Style' ') will give 

 you better service than any other tin or any other rooting material.
