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.
