This Target-anJ- Arrow 



Old Styl 



was put on 24 years ago 



THIS BUILDING is occupied by Messrs. Weil & Wolf, mer- 

 chants at Houston, Texas. The roof, which is our "Target-and- 



Arrow Old Style" tin, was laid in 1883. It 

 is sound and tight today and in all the twenty- 

 four years it has been on it has required repair- 

 ing but once. This was around the skylight, 

 where the water had worked through the wood 

 and under the tin. 



The Old Beth Israel Temple at Houston 

 was roofed with Target-and- Arrow' tin in 

 1869. The tin remained on the building, 

 without repairs, until the roof was wrecked by 

 the storm of 1900 — the same storm that des- 

 troyed Galveston. 



These instances indicate what you can ex- 

 pect in the way of durability from Target-and- 

 Arrow Old Style" tin. Prospective builders and 

 property owners should send for two booklets: "A 

 Guide to Good Roofs" and the "Tin Roofers' Hand 

 Book.'
