has none of the defects common to other roofing 
materials, as the following comparison shows: 
Metal Roofs rust and leak unless frequently painted. 
A metal roofed house is always hot in summer. 
RUBEROID never rusts, needs no painting when laid and insures a cool interior. 
Shingles warp, split and rot, are very expensive and require 
frequent repair. 
RUBEROID does not warp, split or rot, is less expensive than metal or 
shingles and lasts longer. 
Tar and Low-Priced Roofings, even when covered with 
sand or gravel, are quickly affected by changes of temperature. 
They melt and run under summer heat, leaving their felt or paper 
base unprotected. They are also more or less inflammable. 
RUBEROID is not affected by changes of temperature and never melts or 
runs under the hottest sun. It is weather-proof, water-proof 
and so highly fire resistant that sparks or burning brands will 
not ignite it. 
RUBEROID has an unequalled record of over 16 years’ satisfactory service 
and is proven the most economical roofing made. 
No skilled labor required.

Water, free as Air 
Water is valuable largely in proportion to the 
pressure at which it can be delivered. To 
illustrate: water delivered into your home, 
with no pressure, woula not flow from the 
faucet; it would be necessary to draw it witha 
suction pump and to carry i: from room to 
room in pails; of course, water with no pres- 
sure is better than none at all; again, at slight 
pressure water flows slowly from the faucet. 
This means waiting some time for any quan- 
tity, and naturally under such conditions, the 
user always puts up with a scant supply; bath- 
ing is a discouraging proposition, when water 
merely trickles into the tub. But the moment 
you get water at high pressure, you have it in 
abundance, and it at once serves a dozen pur- 
poses for which it would never otherwise be used, 
and it is then used freely by every member of 
the family. “Thereisno long wait, or the fixing 
of certain days, when each member may bathe, 
because its abundance makes it as free as air. 
Think of it, water as free as air! ‘That means 
Comfort,Cleanliness and Health. Then,oh,what 
a protection water under pressure is in case 
of fire! Have you got it? If not, don’t you 
want it? TJ¢ goes with every Hot-Air Pump.
