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 1 6 years' satisfactory service 

 and is proven the most economical roofing made. Any handy 

 man can lay it. No skilled labor required.
