" To have your roof last — 



Use Ruberoid Roofing first " 



Roofing 

 Facts 



In every quarter of the globe 

 and in every kind of climate, 

 you'll find Ruberoid Roofing. 



Why? 



Ruberoid was the first 

 elastic, smooth surfaced, fire 

 and acid resisting roofing 

 made. Since it was placed 

 upon the market, there have 

 been numberless imitations. 



Why? 



Imitators try to copy only 

 the best or standard articles, 

 not the poor ones, and only a 

 roofing that possesses great 

 intrinsic merit, would be 

 ADOPTED BY THE WHOLE WORLD. If you are looking for a truly 

 ferviceable roofing, one that is less costly and lasts longer than metal or 

 shingles, that is weather-proof, water-proof, and fire and acid-resisting, 



write us about 



RUBEROID ROOFING 



(TRADE MARK REG. U. S. PAT. OFF.) 



" The only permanent roofing with permanent colors" 



It is made in Red, Brown, Green and Slate color, and is in use on prominent 

 buildings all over the world. It is the only roofing made, that has a record of 

 over 16 years of unvarying satisfactory service to its users.

HEALTH CEILINGS 



HEALTH 

 SIDE WALLS 



They might well be 

 termed as above for 

 they do not gather 

 moisture — are not 

 filled with poisonous 

 coloring matter and 

 cannot fall, crack or be- 

 come unsightly. Eller's 

 Steel Ceilings and Side- 

 walls have for many 

 years been the standard 

 of quality — look for the 

 trade-mark — it means 

 perfection in every 

 feature.
